CHANGE: A Handbook Fox The Teaching
Of English and Social Studies. Edited by Sylvia
Wilkinson. Learning Institute of N.C. Press. 225
pages. $5 JO.
3."As a North Carolina public school
sttfdent, I look back with resentment; I
resent my poor education, much of it
impossible to catch up, since I, with a,
number of my high school friends as well
as recent graduates, speak of success not
because of, but in spite of."
tiln the preface to the teaching
handbook she has edited, Sylvia
Wilkinson, novelist, former teacher and
sports car nut, blasts the North Carolina
public education system.

idictment. Working with co-editor Ed
Campbell, a former reporter and
columnist for the Winston-Salem Twin
City Sentinel, and the Learning Institutite
of North Carolina in Durham under a
grant from the Carnegie Corporation and
local funds, Miss Wilkinson has put
together a handbook which, if followed,
could do more than anything else to
improve the quality of secondary
education in the state.
The following passage- from her
preface to the handbook, a preface
entitled "Holden Caufield is 35 years
old," tells why Miss Wilkinson undertook
the project:
"Each teacher stands in an individual
box before a block of students reading
from a thick book in front of a
blackboard. When the bell rings, I hit the
wall because after the gates open, that
block of humanity turns into a herd
stampeding for its freedom. I wonder
how they can be. getting what they need
in those ckassrooms; the human animal is
not that disinterested in his needs. I know
that I didn't get what I needed there,
twelve years ago. Thinking and creating
were avoided, hidden, and ignored ;
memorization and regurgitation were the
bywords."
From that preface, "Change" goes into
three sections, each designed not so much
to teach as to help students learn.
English, Social Studies and the Arts are
covered, and each section outlines
sections of study with heavy use of
audio-visuals, student-participation,
creative thought and individual study.
The individual sections of the books
are written by high school teachers, who
have tried a new approach to education in
public high schools and who have found
that the students there actually do want
to learn, if only they are given the
opportunity to learn, not forced into

memorization and regurgitation.
Perhaps the best example is the section
on social studies which includes study
guides and outlines for classroom studies
of human rights, minorities and prejudice
in American society.
The unit includes three lectures, but
they are only basic background material
on the history of the blacks, the
Chicanos, the Puerto Ricans and the
American Indians in today's society.
The lectures are designed to take up
only one class period and are not
intended to tell the whole story of
American discrimination against minority
groups.
The discovery of that discrimination is
left to the students themselves.
The most representative subsection is
on the black in American society. The
bibliography of materials is ten and a half
pages long, but the two most utilized
books in' the unit outline are Harper
Lee's 'To Kill A Mockingbird" and
Richard Wright's autobiographical novel
"Black Boy."
One tells the story of a white man
fighting discrimination in a southern
town, the other is the story of a rural
American black in the South fighting
discrimination for which he can see no
justification.
Role playing is the way to get the idea
across, according to the course outline.

Students are placed in situations spelled
out by the scenes in the two novels. They
play the roles, write what their reactions
would be and then read the scene from
the book.
And by reading the student
evaluations which are presented one can
see that the method works.
And that is the whole purpose of
"Change," to show the teachers in North
Carolina's public schools that the lectures
and the textbooks they have used since
the beginning of the 1950s don't work.
They never have really, and they are
hopelessly outdated now.
As Miss Wilkinson says in her preface,
there are some teachers who will read this
book and take some of the suggestions
offered. But there are others who will
ingnore the whole thing saying, "What
I've been using up to now had worked
fine. The principal likes it so why should
I change."
And, like Miss Wilkinson,, we can only .
hope that those teachers will soon retire.
They aren't helping the state's public
schools at all.
But if the teachers in the state system
would give the programs outlined in this
book even half a chance, there will be a
lot of students graduating from high
schools in a few years who won't have to
take courses in the college they should
have had years before.

Having reached that point in the year
where the networks show almost nothing
but re-runs in prime time, it seems only
natural that Channel 2S should broadcast
the oldest 'talkie" of then ail, 'The Jazz
Singer," starring Al Jolson.
Originally released in 1927, 'The Jazz
Singer" was first shown on Channel 2S on
Classics Theater last night. It will be
rebroadcast this afternoon -beginning
sometime between 4:30 and 5:30. Along
with Jolson, th film features May
McAvoy and Warner Oland, who later
starred in 1 5 Charlie Chan movies ground
out by Twentieth-Century-Fox's B
division.
Unfortunately for its viewers, Channel
28 which bills itself as the cinema
station fo the Piedmont," will not
maintain its momentum for the rest of
this week. On Wednesday night at 7:30,
for example, WRDU will broadcast a
1966 movie called "Out of Sight" which
concerns "a man rock 'n rolled into
madness (who) plots revenge against the
teen set."
The rock
include Gary
Freddie and
Turtles. In
immortals in the movie
Lewis and the Playboys,
the Dreamers, and the
other words,- a regular
warm-up for Jubilee.
The American Broadcasting System
(Channels 5 and 8) goes with two first
run specials tonight. "Lil Abner" which
begins at 8, is a musical comedy dealing
with an ecological problem facing
Dogwood, and after an old George
Plimpton-John Wayne special, there's an
hour-long salute to the Mississippi River
by Tom Jones and Mary Travers
(formerly of Peter Paul and Mary).
Tuesday night is a total loss until
1 1 :30, when Dick Cavett devotes his full
ninety minutes to an interview of John G.
Neihardt, the 90-year-old poet laureate of
Nebraska. Neihardt is an authority on the
American Indian and the show will
