I The son of a Baptist minis-' ter, born in New York state, lived his boyhood in Colorado, was educated in New England and spent his teaching career in Nebraska will retire July 1. Dr. Forward commented on the remarkable change in the appearance of the University, but as English goes he has seen little change in the enter ing freshman students. During his career, the use of placement tests was begun in the University to place stu dents in various levels- of Eng lish instruction. Prior to this, students were grouped ac cording to the amount of English they had in high school. But then it was found, according to Dr. Forward, that high schools were glvirf, students English credit for; being business managers of their high school newspapers. Dr. Forward served as di-' rector of the Freshman Eng lish program from 1946 to 1956 j and it was during this period, according to his colleagues, that order was brought out of chaos. ground text for correction work are the two major ob jectives of a new book writ ten by three University of Nebraska professors. "Speech Development, Im provement, and Correction," "by Profs. Lucile Cypreansen, John H. Wiley and LeRoy T. Laase, is a non-technical, though well documented, work designed to fulfill both purposes. It is the outgrowth of many years of practical experience by Dr. Cyprean son in the Unversity's speech and hearing laboratories. Duo Purpose With its publication, a text is available for the first time both for the student planning, to teach in elementary grades and the, student who may become a speech ther apist. The book does not intend to make therapists out of teach ers, the authors explain, but rather to enable them to play a greater part in a child's speech development. I uui io qo mis, iney aaa, me teacher must know when to use the development methods and how. Most books on speech development and correction, they explain, are too technical for the average elementary teacher. Dr. Cypreansen is super visor of the University's Speech and Hearing labora tories and associate profes sor of speech and speech cor rection. Dr. Wiley, associate professor of speech patholo gy, is director of the labora tories, and Dr. Laase, pro fessor of speech and speech pathology, is chairman of the department of speech. The book was published by the Ronald Press Co. of New York City.
