Final P-TA Meet
Held Monday—
Final meeting of the school
term for the Parent-Teachers’
association was held Monday
evening.
Miss Elja McCullough, Holt
county superintendent of schools,
was speaker for the evening
and discussed ithe Nebraska
course of study. In tracing the j
development of the course of
! study and current changes be
i ing made in it, Miss McCullough
pointed out that combination
of grades into classes studying
the same subjects together is
giving away to correlation of j
studies where each grade has
its own classes but texts are j
combined—such as history and j
geography. This is of advantage j
to rural schools where one !
teacher teaches several grades.

eighth graders. She stated that
schools should “educate the
whole child” to fit him for bet
ter citizenship.
