AID TO SIGHT - H. Ashley Weeks, a retired professor of sociology in the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan, tries out a new video machine at the Ann Arbor Public Library which will aid partially-sighted individuals in their reading and writing. The machine, a Visualtek Miniviewer, was donated by the Friends of the Ann Arbor Public Library. The Miniviewer uses a television monitor, a camera and a powerful lens, and will enable people to read small print. Weeks is a member of the Friends of the Library and also has a sight problem. The machine may be used by asking at the reference desk on the library's second floor. (Staff photo by Jack Stubbs).

Black poet Michael Harper, a teacher at California State College at Hayward, was in town this past week to read some of his poetry at Pioneer and Huron High schools and at the University of Michigan. At the high schools, his visit was sponsored by the "Poetry Ann Arbor" group. Several other poets have already done readings this fall at Ann Arbor secondary schools. This photo was taken at Huron High. Harper's first book poetry was published this year and was entitled "Dear John, Dear Coltrane." A second book of poetry is coming out in 1971. Many of Harper's poems have been published in "Poetry," "Poetry Northwest," "Negro Digest," "Southern Review" and other magazines.

In the Ann Arbor schools, reading is taught by both the traditional and the new methods. There is a great deal of work with readers and storybooks. In addition to this, the schools try to show the children in the elementary grades how to use reading, as in this picture where the children read to follow directions. The use of the traffic signal also begins to teach them to obey traffic laws. This picture was posed specially for The News.
