The headaches of October have become the satisfactions of May— and we really accomplished something this year. The series of discussions we began with the English Department about acquiring recordings for instructional and leisure listening has paid off well and now we are on the way to developing a representative if not complete library. And of course the social studies and history people worked well with us, and our selections in that field are worthwhile. Well augment that collection in the fall. We were disturbed by the constant demand for better speech records— but now we have the solution to that, too. Just the other day we heard Speak Well-Off The Record (Columbia CL 1361) and our English and speech teachers all thought well of it. We are getting several copies for use next year. We discovered Speak Well— Off The Record quite by accidervt. The educational director of National Sales Executives mentioned a particularly fine teaching team he used and we asked where and when we might see and hear them. "You can hear Paul Mills at any time," we were told, because he has recorded an exceptional record for individual and group instruction. We looked up Paul Mills at Sales Power (17 East 48th Street, New York 17) and we listened to his recording. He deals with basic communications sounds like "S" and "TH" in both contrasting and comparative ; manner. Similarly he attacks such sounds as "L," "R," "NG," "ER," "OY," , "A (as in hat)," "M," "N," "SH," "T," I "D," "P," "B," "F," "V," "K" and "Too much on the record for student to absorb in one hour,' challenged Mr. Mills. "Or a week," he said by way of' agreement. He pointed out that speech I is a matter of good habits and that good habits cannot be developed overnight. "In fact," he pointed out, "in teaching good oral communications, the teacher must overcome some ingrained and well practiced bad habits "G." any WC' 290 Educational Screen and Audiovisual Guide — June, 1961
