The first session of the 23rd Annual Conference of the Orton Society, held at Seattle, Washington in November, 1972, was entitled “The International Scene.” In addition to the following Introduction by Dr. Thompson and the papers by Drs. Bakker and Strong, there was an account of the incidence of dyslexia in 272 bilingual Chinese-Canadian children by Carl A. Kline and Norma Lee which is not included here because it is already available in papers previously published in this journal and others. (See the preliminary report by C. L. Kline and N. Lee, A transcultural study of dyslexia,Bull. of the Orton Society XIX:67–81; and C. L. Kline and N. Lee, A transcultural study of dyslexia: Analysis of language disabilities in 277 Chinese children simultaneously learning to read and write in English and in Chinese.J. Special Education, 1972, Vol. 6, No. 1.)
