Secondary School Moulds Talent
By BOBBIE A. SANBORN, ’38
Tlirougliout tlie primary and
grammar schools Progressive Educa*
tion is more easily carried on. The
studies are more suitably adapted
to this type of work than those of
the high school. However, many
classes have successfully renovated
their style of work and activity.
Group work is stressed and the
memorization of facts has been al
most entirely dropped from the
standards of the classes. [N’ow learn
ing through doing is the leading
theme.

Koch; Class, Sewing I, Period I.
In this class group work is clearly
shown. The class is not taught as
a whole, but the students divide ac
cording to their interests. Although
not shown, the class project has been
the decorations of the girls rest
rooms. Dressing tables and mirrors
will shortly be installed. Other
than this, personality has been
stressed. In the center back is a
colored chart of beauty types as to
complexion, eyes, and hair. The
room has been made attractive by
curtains and flowers. Different
group activities are illustrated by
the front tables in knitting and
student instruction. To the left
several are studying fashions and
styles for their own use. Ironing
and dewing machine work is being
carried on to the left back. The
teacher moves from group to group
giving information. In this way
the student is guided by the teach
er’s knowledge but is not given a
set criterion.
Picture No. 6. Teacher, Miss
Beasley; Class, American History
and English. Periods 1 and 2. These
classes of American History and
Senior English have been combined
to form a class of American Cul
ture. Because the Sino-Japanese
War is foremost in the news, the
study of ■ its background and
progress was chosen. Prom this
study much is gained toward the
building of the background for the
development of American Culture.
In the back right on the board and
bulletin board are seen maps of
Chinn. Drawings and sketches by
the students are shown throughout
the room. Contributions on the
shelf at left back have been brought
by members of the class to illustrate
the type of novelties, prints and
books made in China and Japan.
Colorful curtains, rug and book
shelves have added to the attractive
ness of the room.
Picture No. 7. Teacher, Mrs.
McBride; Class, English I, Period
I. A spirit of beauty and quiet
reading is pronouncedly foremost
in the room. The theme of the type
of education which is now being
stressed is brought out in a short
article by Dolores West, ’41, as
she describes her own room:
Last Friday after school I was
washing the boards in Eoom 8 when
several girls walked in. One asked
why I was staying. “To wash boards
for Mrs. McBride,” I answered.
“Do you mind if we look around
a bit?” inquired one.
“Not at all,” said I.
They exclaimed over the flowers
and bulletin boards, read the short
stories, and examined the Science
Corner. As they left one said, “Any
one ouglit to be able to learn in that
room.”
I stopped and looked about say
ing, “It -is a pleasant room.” These
are the things I saw.
The beauty corner attractively ar
ranged with flowers in lovely vases
and above those, pictures mounted
on colored paper. The bulletin
board neatly arranged with short
stories mounted on colored paper
and election signs. In the back of
the room a Science corner where
materials are kept to experiment
with. There were flower boxes,
shades and curtains in the windows.
“Yes, surely anybody ought to be
able to learn something in a room
like this.”
