TAMPA SUNDAY TRIBUNE, Sandiy, July IS. 195 EDUCATION REVOLUTION? CHLOROPHYLL, NEW U. S. DARLING Story Of America 's Green Gold AH Learning Simple, Says French Inventor Of New Card Game System By CYNTHIA LOWRY MOUNT VERNON, N. The wildly beating heart of America's new darling chlorophyll lies within the portals of a small, three-story building in this semi-suburban community.

A chaste and discreetly non-committal sign, merely states "the Rystan Company." tention was fixed on chlorophyll's deodorizing ability when taken internally and in sufficient Quantities. They were not the only ones moving toward chlorophyll in tablet form a use which did not conflict with the Gruskin patent. In 1948, Rystan put out its Chlorophyll, as practically everyone knows, is the magic sub stance that makes plants green and, everyone who buys it hopes, peo ple smell nicer. Today it is being injected into all manner of com chloresium toothpaste "and a lot modities from shampoos to foot pads, from dog soap to ntoth balls, from cigarettes to socks. In tablet toothpaste, mouthwash, moniated dentifrice was brought out and ran up sensational sales.

Others appeared in its wake, but a few established toothpaste manufacturers' refused to change their formulas. While this was going on, Ryan, still determined to stick strictly to his prescription line, approached Lever Brothers which had not gone into an ammoniated paste and suggested the firm bring out a toothpaste containing chlorophyll. "Sales results In a market test were pretty dramatic," Ryan said, "and Lever put the toothpaste on a national basis as fast as it could. "And "it wasn't long before some of those cold shoulders I'd run into were turning pretty hot. But we had an exclusive licensing agreement on toothpaste with Lever Brothers which originally was scheduled to expire on June 30 of this year." of people thought it was a blue-sky operation," adds Ryan.

It wasn't until the Summer of 1950 that the public felt the impact of chlorophyll. And it had little or nothing to do with Rystan. A magazine. Reader's Digest, published an article called Nature's Deodorant, and almost simultaneously two brands of chlorophyll tablets hit candy, textiles and even in cologne, chlorophyll is held out as the ultimate weapon in a peculiarly American warfare against personal, un zation, under a routine agreed ment whereby rights to any patentable aspects of the research would belong to the foundation. In 1937, a "use" patent was issued, giving Lakeland Foundation licensing rights on chlorophyll derivatives in aqueous solution.

The foundation, more interested in stimulating other research than promoting a patent, placed the whole matter quietly on the shelf. The Gruskin patent, as it is pleasant odor. The Rystan company finds itself the market with extensive bursts of in the center of the whirlwind, largely through a series of cir advertising. The public responded impres sively. cumstances over which it had little called, gathered dust until 1950 when Ryan, then an advertising About the same time the great executive, heard about the scient By NADEANE WALKER PARIS.

W) A 60-year-old Frenchman who never could afford to finish teachers college claims he has developed a new method which will revolutionize grade school education. Clement Planes says his system will make it possible for any child or adult to learn a new language well in three months through a card game hardly more complicated than canasta. Although he holds no degrees, Planes says he has worked alone for 40 years to perfect the games system he has just copyrighted. His system, which he calls "rational pedagogy seems to be a scholarly combination of cross playing cards and plain alphabet blocks. With it be claims a beginner can get a practical speaking knowledge of any language in just two weeks by "playing" with his language card box at home.

A stooped, balding little man with near-sighted eyes and the absent-minded habit of losing his thick spectacles in a shuffle of papers, Planes gave up his job as night manager of a cabaret seven months ago "to give the world what I have learned and save years ef study for others."

They picked "Chloresium" as a brand name for their prescription line, now expanded to 12 products. "Getting chlorophyll into correct formula i important- and tricky," Ryan said. "Its concentration is very important and so is the degree of purity. We experimented with over 600 formulas just to get the ointment." In 1944 Ryan went to large drug pharmaceutical firms explaining the possibilities of chlorophyll and suggesting a licensing arrangement to give Rystan some financial assistance. "I was turned down by 10 firms," he said.

"We went ahead alone." Meanwhile, other scientists had been stimulated by Gruskin's work. Drs. F. Howard Westcott and J. A.

Killian started experimenting in connection with anemia. That particular research didn't pan out, but Westcott's at Chlorophyll as a deodorant was himself all the basic languages in order to classify and simplify them Into one system. The Inventor describes his system as "very scientific but very simple." In a demonstration, he used cards slightly smaller than playing cards, first arranging the single alphabet letters into their pronunciation groups (dental, labial, gutteral, palatal, then ranging under each group the vowel or vowels which always accompany it, and finally under this the accompanying diphthongs, or vowel combinations.

Benjamin Gruskin of Temple University, Philadelphia, was the prince charming.

He used it with dramatic ing or translation, person, gender, part of speech, related words and so on. PLANES SAID he plans to do a series of several card boxes on each language, the first containing the 4000 most-used everyday words, and the others growing progressively more scholarly. For correct pronounciation, a set of records will accompany them.

The inventor also has worked out card games to teach geography, history, science, literature, grammar and arithmetic to children from six to 18. A dark-haired boy of 12, named Gerard, wandered into the workroom while we talked. Without a word to anyone he climbed up and rapidly began assembling a map of France from cards by following latitude and longitude lines. Planes said he "wouldn't take on the scholars without being sure my system will work," but added he will have to get financial help to launch his games. He hopes some government will buy them.
