TRIBUTE TO OMAHA SCHOOLS Merit of ' Lo al Educational Methods is Impressed Upon Paruians. NEW METHOD Of TEACHING GEOGRAPHY Other I'ontiirca I'ri'liltnr to School of This City MnLc Fiivornhle Impi-m-nlon I'lrttirr of IIuIIiIImk Included In Dlnpln). The announcement that the Omaha Hoard ot Education was awarded a gold medal for Its educational exhibit at the I'arls exposi tion Is the source of considerable satisfac tion to Superintendent I'cnrse and the mem bers of the board. But few gold medals were granted In the educational section and Omaha was one of the chosen cities In the United States thnt won such recognition. in preparing the successful exhibit, H. A. Eentcr, Instructor In the High school, col lected specimens of work in which the Omaha schools differ from other schools. The most unusual feature was a collection ot ilrawlngB, portfolios and charts which Il lustrate a new plan for teaching geography. Instead of studying page after page of dry book matter the children are assigned topics and are urged to study up their subjects In every possible manner. A'! rorts of guide books, railroad mapi and books ot descrip tive matter are brought Into use. In the study of different stato pupils are encour aged to make Inuulrlcs of penple who are fumtllar with tho localities under discus sion. Knch pupil mnkes a largo map and traces Into It the different states and countries ns tho work progressca. When tho course Is completed tho pupils have maps of the world which they have drawn themselves. This method Induces pupils to collect n great deal more Information than could be ncqulred by the study of text books alone and the map is n Bort ot nurleus nround which nil the facts center In bucIi u way that they are retained better than when learned In tho ordlnnry bookish manner. This work is carried on in the fourth, fifth, sixth and Bevcnth gradeB and maps und notebooks of pupils In nil these grades were Included in tb exhibit. rietiiri'M of llitllillsiK Shown, Ilcaiitlful pictures of tho exteriors and In teriors of ull tho modem school building.' in tho city were shown. These were tun work of H. A. Scntcr of tho High school force, who prcrarcd them especially for tlw exhibit. The Hoard of Udticatlon's methods of doing btnlncss wcro shown by n com plete set of tho blanks and records used. A very comprehensive Idea of tho routine work done In tho slith, seventh and eighth grades wus given by means of n series 0: exercise Looks chosen ftom nmotig these prepared by children of these grades in 1. subjects studied. Tho cntlro exhibit wai' collected and arranged by Mr. Scnter of the High school nnd forwarded to It. J. Hogcrs of Albany, N. Y. who had charge of tho United States educational und sociological department. He renrranged tho material and gave tt u good location In tho educa tional section. "Wo appreciate the honor and hops that tho commissioners of this exposition will not work the fame schemv that the last Paris exposition adopted. Persons who were awarded gold medals were notified that the department was ready to strike off the med als as soon as the successful competitors supplied tho gold," Superintendent I'cnrse remarked. "Of courso wo can supply the gold it wo have to, but it isn't a pleasant sensation to havo Frenchmen get ahead of us In such a shrewd mnunor." This will make the fifth medal the Omaha schools havo lauded. Tho first trophy was won at New Orleans. An award was earned at tho Paris exposition ot 16S9 and tho World's fair and tho Transmlsslsslppl expo sition also rocognlzcd tbo excellent work ot the Omaha schools.
