Youngster Finds New School lReal PHILADELPHIA (AP) Last year 12-year-old Tervis Knightner, a sixth grader, had trouble reading second grade-level books. Today he's swiftly catching up while listening to.rock and soul music and reading horror stories in class. 'I like school now," he says. "Real cool.

Now I know there's a time to play and a time to work, and you can enjoy both." His sudden interest in reading is due to the work of Charles Krimmell, 30, a bearded former undertaker and disc jockey who discussing. It turned his classroom into a "Monster Museum." The walls are covered with drawings and pictures of ghoulish events. The kids, he says, eat up the stuff on Frankenstein's monster, Dracula and all the mysterious associations of vampireds, bats, witches and ghosts while the musicr plays on. "Music doesn't hamper the kids concentration at all," says Krimmell, called "Chuck" by his pupils in the informal, shirtsleeve atmosphere. "I find that when kids listen to music they work a lot better." "I couldn't read too good," says Barry Costin, 12, before he was transferred to Advancement School last October.

"But that music was good stuff. It helped me read by listening to it. Before I didn't like to study and now I want to find out more about things. I won an album for knowing the most words in songs." Russia's White Sea was named for the glistening ice that covers it most of the year.

"It puts fun into learning," says Krimmell. The bouncy music blasting out of a tape recorder- had the students swaying their seats as they read through their work material in search of hidden song titles.

"A kid will make a greater effort if he likes what he's doing," added Krimmell, the experimenting Harvey Scnmicu, traveled rehearsal halls and living rooms, putting on auditions of the romantic little fable about youthful love. They were still shy $3,300 when rehearsals began. Noto with an okay from his wife, Mary, took all the family savings to make up the balance. During the preparation phase that chunk was peddled off in dribs and drabs, with Noto assigning parts of the producer's 50 per cent share of possible profits to encourage dubious investors. His remaining annual share is $18,000.

"The show took 11 months to break even because the reviews weren't that good," he recalls. By today, however, the biggest investment unit of $660 has earned back $44,220. A large part of the profit margin, $440,986.76, has been derived from subsidiary rights. "I got rid of all temptation and protected my investors by never producing any of the other versions that have been presented in 52 countries. I just wouldn't put them in double jeopardy."

"Interest is directly related to achievement and child experiences. If he is interested in something he will overcome his shortcomings," Krimmell continued. "Anything we can find kids are interested in we should take it and run with it." That's why Krimmell developed the three-month course. Krimmell's material is varied.

He takes lyrics from a popular tune, such as "I'll Be There," and mixes up the lines. The kids have to put them in proper order. Or he'll take another song, "Bridge Over Troubled Waters," and leave out words which must be filled in. Or scramble the title, Reteh Lil Eb, which is "I'll Be There." Another exercise is to write short essays on the meanings of songs, or of expressions. The program worked so well during 17 months of in-class testing that it is now being published for nationwide distribution.

Not only do the kids learn songs, and the words in them, they discuss the meaning of the lyrics and what the writer is trying to say to the people. He followed the rock music theme with a horror unit to further expand the varied English skills: reading, writing, creating, TONIGHT 3 BIG HITSI "I WALK THE LINE" "TEENIE TULIP" "TOBACCO ROODY" STARTS WED.

Mmww HiIS tiSO 3:15 6:3 8:10 A 9:40 NEW YORK (AP) What does it cost to be the longest-running show in New Ytvk 'theatrical history? Lore Noto can tell you exactly: $2,124,904,80. "I'm revealing the figures to prove the high price of off-Broadway success," says the producer of "The Fantasticks," which celebrates its 11th anniversary on Monday. The payroll for the show has been $985,000. The rest of the money was expended on theater rentals, advertising, maintenance and the like.

Noto, who had a hectic job raising the original $16,500 to put on the show, registers satisfaction that the musical's payoff to backers has so far been a husky $556,500. But his determination that "the show must go on" is offset by worry about rising costs. One big factor is the rise in wages for the either performers, with a union dispute still in the balance. The settlement of last November's strike of the actors' union against all off-Broadway productions has prompted Noto, an ex-commercial artist, to put $500 weekly in escrow against anticipated salary boosts. The profit margin has recently shriveled to one per cent from an 11-year average of 41 per cent.

"I get a lot of abuse on the grounds the backers have gotten too much," says Noto of the show th2t almost didn't happen. There are 57 investors of record but an uncounted number of other participants bought bits as small as $10 from the listed backers. For nine months, three nights a week, Noto and the composers of "The Fantasticks," Tom Jones and cHappy (Birthday Tuesday, May 11,1971 TERESA LYNN BENTZ, 8, 35 Jefferson Ave. DENISE MICHELLE BORDER, 4, Dover RD 2 JEFFREY LYNN BORTNER, Spring Grove RD 1 -JANE ANN BURNS, 8, 1475 W.
