Schools of education 【B1】 tended to emphasize subject matter 【B2】 what the childre

One area 【B3】 emphasized is the matter of a 【B4】 developmental or maturity level-that is, the childs 【B5】 of readiness for starting school. Research demonstrated that a major 【B6】 of children who fail in school
20、【B7】 primarily because of their immaturity and their unreadiness for the work of the 【B8】 that law designates: age five for kindergarten, age six for first grade. Common sense 【B9】 us that not all five-year-olds have reached 【B10】 average level of performance expected 【B11】 age five. Thus many five-
21、year-olds fail in kindergarten and six-year-olds fail in first grade 【B12】 because of a learning disability or attention deficit disorder but simply because 【B13】 are in a too-advanced grade. Experience has shown that the number of 【B14】 learners can be substantially reduced by a policy of 【B15】 eve
22、ry childs readiness-that is, 【B16】 level before beginning school. This concept has 【B17】 widely.

40、heir imports. The result was a sharp drop in farm prices. This period was more disastrous for farmers than earlier times had been, because farmers were no longer self-sufficient. They were paying for machinery, seed, and fertilizer, and they were also buying consumer goods. The prices of the items f
41、armers bought remained constant, while prices they received for their products fell. These developments were made worse by the Great Depression, which began in 1929 and extended throughout the 1930s. In 1929, under President Herbert Hoover, the Federal FarmBoard was organized. It established the pri

President Hoover s successor attached even more importance to this problem. One of the first measures proposed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt

The Roosevelt Administration believed that rebuilding the nations soil was in the national interest and was not simply a plan to help farmers at the expens
