New Technique Helps Johnny Read and Type
An experimental study at the University of North Daikeps shows eight to nine year old students trained in touch typing on electric typewriters improved reading comprehension and spelling. The 24 participants, boys and girls, aged eight and nine, studied one hour daily for five days a week under Dr. John L. Rowe. Results averaged a 42 word per minute reading gain versus 32 for non-typists, with better handwriting and letter formation. The project, funded by Smith Corona, aims to promote typing as a literacy tool in schools.

Space Saving Red Cross Gray Ladies in Japan Art
Space-saving is a well developed art in Japan where even pinball machines are miniature. The approach grows from necessity in a country no larger than California with 90 million people. Japanese homes use cushions as seats, foldable furniture, futon beds stored in closets, and sliding doors to create flexible rooms. Bonsai trees and bon-keis mini landscapes imitate nature inside small spaces.
