intensified activity among researchers in. this field; in
1934, Tinker reported that 180 studies had been conducted
(40). The number of articles concerning reading problems
appearing in the Educational Index between 1935 and 1950
reveals an unusual interest in that subject. Smith (40)
reported that spiraling interest in this field of research
produced an increased number of published articles during
the following fifteen years. Specialists in related dis-
ciplines such as sociology, psychology, and physiology in-
creased their efforts to obtain facts related to reading
deficiency with respect to medical treatment and psycho-
therapy (40) .
Concomitant with the upsurge of research was a maturing
research approach manifested in the organizing process of
theory construction, and in greater precision in controls and.
more sophisticated statistical techniques (40). These im-
proved techniques and liberal funds made available by the
government were instrumental in stimulating greater emphasis
on high quality research. Financial support of reading
research on the part of the national government manifests
the general concern for reading improvement and widespread
accord surrounding its importance to our national welfare.
Truly, reading instruction has grown entirely
new dimensions in the enlarged and important
role it has to play in achieving national
goals. Without a doubt, the national recog-
nition and support given reading instruction
by the government constitute the most salutory
and conspicuous mark of progress in the history
of American reading instruction (41, p. 9).
