Newspaper Syndicate the are them for Negro girls- who want to become stenographers, and another for boys, though many of them have ten of eleven grades of schooling, still can't read or do arithmetic at an average eighth-grade level. The preliminary results of the NAM's venture are little short of astounding. Industry, in recent years, has tended to make a fetish of hiring people with high diplomas. But the NAM under our present methods of education, can be utterly meaningless.

For example, fifteen per cent of a recent high school graduating class in a poor district of New York City tested out at a 7.2 grade reading level and a 5.9 grade arithmetic level. In other words, they were no better than certain drop-outs They now have jobs in Manhattan at various banks. One girl, a 19-year-old mother of four kids whose husband had deserted the family, put in twelve days at the NAM in the six-week period and lifted her typing skill to the point where the Chase Manhattan Bank was more than willing to take her on for $65 a week. It cost the NAM anly $25 to train her. The NAM will run more typing projects in the spring.

Meanwhile, it has taken on six upper teen-age Negro boys whose scholastic achievements checked out at anywhere from grade 3.9 to grade 9.3 reading levels. Some of them have been on marijuana; some have police records; some are psychopathic all of them test out on the low IQ side. Within eight weeks some startling transformations have been achieved, with the kids jumping four or five grades in reading comprehension. Two of the boys have been hired by the NAM on a permanent basis to teach future classes. Significantly, their IQ's have jumped along with their reading and arithmetical skills.

Currently, the NAM is experimenting with a class of six adolescent Harlem kids who are at a "zero- zero" level in reading and figuring. They know the difference between a dime and a quarter, but can't add the two together to arrive at an answer of thirty-five cents. After seven days of "unpressured" instruction the "zero-zeros" are up by one full grade level.
