Harlow H. Curtice, president DISPUTES I'LESCH Defends Remedial Reading A month ago the Free Press published a thought-provoking series by lr.

Many have emotional problem. "The remaining 9 per cent are handled by their regular classroom teachers or sometimes bv a special teacher or assistant principal.
