The Hillside Shooiine cen. ter, with 60 stoics and more 1,000 employes, has had an impressive effect on re- tail sales volume in this west Cook county village.

Opinion is sharply divided on what the net effect will be of the itinerant teacher program for the partially seeing pupil.

Recent adoption of the plan by the board of education was triggered by the need for more classrooms. The program will go into effect on a trial basis Feb. 1 with the closing of seven special classes thruout the city for the partially seeing and placement of some 80 selected pupils in their home schools. These children will be enrolled in a regular grade and take work with normal pupils with the aid of tutoring by the itinerant teacher. Some 590 pupils attend the recently spent $390,000 for jacent to village hall.

However, Dr. Reichert cau- tioned certain pitfalls must be avoided if the program is to succeed. Adequate lighting and cooperation by teachers and "principals who mufet extend themselves to work with the pupil are considered crucial by the physician.

Similar programs have failed where these criteria were not met, Dr. Reichert said. Save on Transportation While voting for the plan, Raymond Pasnick, a board member, questioned the ad-visibility of closing special classes where children were doing well and substituting an untried program. At his and Dr. Reichert's insistence the board wiH receive re ports every six months on the academic progress of pupils and cost of the program.

It is claimed the cost will be more than offset by savings on pupil bus transportation. According to Dr. Frances Continued on page 9 Bring In Your newspapers corrugated fr of Mil at yard, pr 100 bi.

Advocates of the program say the pupils witi gain socially while learning academically. Opponents fear the student will get lost in the shuffle and be shortchanged on bolh accounts. Serious doubts have been raised by two women closely associated with the program. They are Dr. Margaret H.

Powers, director of the bu-reau of physically handicapped' children, and Miss Ethel M. Wright, supervisor of the division of blind and partially seeing. The two agree in principle with the plan but feel the cart is being put before the horse. They contend it should be an experimental program with two or thr.ee class closings instead of seven. Physician Backs Plan A strong supporter of the program is Schools' Supt.

Benjamin C. Willis who said, "We feel the children are better off in the regular classroom learning to live to-gether."
