OFFICIALS VISIT 2 SCHOOLS
Students in County System Schools
Experiment With Math Instruction
The math supervisors from the
State Department of Public In
struction, Miss Annie J. Williams
and Mrs. Margaret McDevitt, vis
ited the Elise and Westmoore
high schools last week, to observe
the teaching of math by the
“Programmed Learning Method.”
The programmed teaching
method employs Special books
with the subject content divided
into easily assimilated segments.
Complex areas of knowledge are
presented in finely graded se
quence that can be mastered
piecemeal with no errors if the
student understands all the ma
terial previously covered. This
method makes possible the prog
ress of each individual student ac
cording to his speed of compre
hension. Realizing the potential
of this method of teaching, C. E.
Hackney, principal of the Elise
High School at Robbins asked for
th.e course to be offered in his
school.
' The Algebra I students were di
vided this fall with 26 students
taking algebra by the convention
al method and 26 by the pro
grammed method. Each class is
taught by Wilton Powers.
An algebra aptitude test was
given to both groups at the be
ginning of the course to supple
ment the achievement and apti
tude scores already available on
each student.
The supervisors from the State
Department questioned the teach
er and the students concerning
the programmed method of learn
ing. It was the general feeling
among the students that they like
the method because they can pro
gress at their own speed; how
ever, they miss the sharing of in
formation by their fellow stu
dents. Mr. Powers stated that it
Social Security
Change to Benefit
Persons in Area
was too early in the year for him
to draw any conclusions. Com
plete records are kept on the
progress of each group including
test scores so an evaluation can
be made at the end of the year.
There are nine Elise seniors
taking the advanced math courses
with W. S. Evans as consultant.
Some of the students will com
plete the course in trigonometry
by Christmas. Other students will
not complete the course before
March. Solid Geometry, Introduc
tory College Algebra and Calcu
lus are available for these advanc
ed students. These students ex-
oressed complete ' satisfaction
with this method of learning.
Six Westmoore high school
juniors are taking the Algebra II
course voluntarily, with W. F.
Ritter serving as consultant.
These students plan to continue
their studies this summer.in or
der that they can take trigonome
try, solid geometry and calculus
’during their senior year.
The state supervisors were
pleased with the study and plan
ning that had gone into the ex
perimental study of this method
of learning and with the satisfac
tion evident from the students in
volved. They were unable to visit
West End, Cameron, Aberdeen
and Pinckney schools where some
students are taking math courses
by this method.
R. E. Lee, county superinten
dent, states that this program has
helped to provide the students in
the small high schools with all
the math courses necessary for ac
ceptance to engineering and tech
nical school. A careful evaluation
of the program will be. made by
the county staff, principals and
math teachers at the end of the
school year.
There has been a recent change
in the Social Security law which
may allow payments to many
people' who were previously de
nied. Any person who has tried
to get social security payment
within the past three years, but
was turned down because he did
not have enough social security
credits, may now be eligible.
Many retired workers and
survivors of deceas-sd workers
may get social security checks be
cause the work requirements are
now easier to meet. Many workers
born after 1892 and many sur
vivors of workers wno died after
1957 will be helped by this
change in the work requirements.
No one can know the number of
people in the Moore County area
who are affected by this change
in the law. The Fayetteville Socia’
Security District Officg is at
tempting to locate all of those
who might be helped by this re
cent change.
Anyone in the Moore County
area who has been turned down
for retirement or survivors’
monthly payments within the
last three years should contact
the Moore County Social Security
field representative, who is at the
Information Center building in
Southern Pines every first and

Last month more Americans bought Fords than in any
November in history. The blazing success of the long Ford
line was end-to-end, all across the country and up and
down it, too. ■ Everywhere the people flocked into
their Ford Dealers and bought smart new Falcons, and
the new Falcon Squire, the glittering swift Galaxies, the
famous Ford Station Wagons and the hot Thunderblrds.
And they poured in to see and buy up the brand-new
Fairlanes just introduced. B There are four magic
reasons-why behind the smashing success of the long
Ford line for 1962. First of all is utterly modern styling,
the fresh crisp lines that are now being so widely copied
by other car-makers, the smart look that dominates the
industry. Second is absolute power in eleven kinds of
engines, giving you anything you could want in engine
options. Third is total economy—every Ford model is
priced directly at your pocketbook, and every Ford, large,
medium or small, gives you gasoline mileage outstanding
in its class. Fourth is the service-saving concept—every
Ford car is built to cut down maintenance worries and
problems, with service-saving features other cars may
have some day. B Ford leadership from Falcons to
Thunderblrds is founded on trend-sqtting innovations ...
The hot ideas come from Ford. And at the heart of Fprd
success is^an almost revolutionary new concept of quality
. . . most serious and direct concern with the actual
part-by-part quality. For the hot trends in the hot cars,
for a new experience in quality, and for the best buys on
the American Road, see your Ford Dealer.

GALAXIE BY FORD
The class for families who want big car comfort, performance and prestige.
Value leader is the Ford Galaxie—which has every essential feat^e of
far costlier fine cars. With the optional Thunderbird 390 V-8 ^gine, a
Galaxie will outperform America’s most expensive luxury cars. Requires
servicing only twice a year, or every 6,000 miles.
FORD THUNDERBIRD
The top class-cars for people who want the very finest. First of the
trim-size luxury cars, the 4-passcnger Thunderbird is the most
distinctive car in this class. Its styling set the trend for an entire
generation of cars and now finds a new elegance in the Lartdau.
And Thunderbird’s performance is just this side of flight.
