the process of breathing and
the intricate neurological tim
ing of the diaphram and oth

Dr. Kenneth Rose, curator
of the Health Division Of the
Museum, said man normally
breathes from 16 to 18 times
a minute, but, in Aeolus the
rate has been reduced to six
times a minute to make it
easier to see what happens
inside a lung.
The plastic man and all
electronic equipment accom
panying the device was made
for $7,500 by the Richard
Rush Studio in Chicago.
The viewer will be shown
the path of a breath of air
on its life-giving journey from
intake to the tiny alveoli
where the exchange of oxy
gen and carbon dioxide be
tween air and blood takes
place.
In addition to the large
model of the man s respira

New Direction and Vigor
HT 2 Jf5 &
EDITORS NOTE: In last week's
Summer Nebraskan. we ran the first
two parts of an artirle entitled.
"Classics Are Returning to the Class
room." The story which follows Is
the third and final section of the
story which was written by Nancy
Ostberr for the School of Journal
Ism's depth renoi-tlic class. This
week we are dealluc with the cur
riculum study vb Is belnjc con
ducted at the University throuirh
grant from the Woods Charitable
Fund.
During the summer tf
1961 a small group of the
state's ablest elementary
and high school teachers"
responded to a grant from
the Woods Charitable Fund
and came to the University
of Nebraska to write a cur
riculum that would give
new direction and vigor to
the teaching of English.
The story of their success
is only beginning to be told.
It was an operation rooted
deep in the dynamic con
servatism of the state and
founded in the leadership of
one man who believed that
every child should have the
opportunity to become ac
quainted with truly good lit
erature. He is Dr. Paul Ol
son, an associate professor
of English at the University
of Nebraska, now on leave
at London doing research
on Chaucer at the British
Museum.
The unassuming brown
volume which contained
the results of that sum
mer's work was a local
product that was to attract
the nation-wide attention of
scholars and educators. Re
quests for the study contin
ue to come in at the rate
of several per day, and it is
now in its fourth printing.
English department offi
cials also feel that the suc
cess of the local study was
a major factor in landing
for Nebraska the choice
federal plum of a $250,000
grant as one of the six Eng
lish curriculum centers in
the nation. (The others are
located at Northwestern
University in Evanston, Il
linois; Carnegie Technolog
ical Institute in Pittsburgh,

426 Register
For All-State
Another r e c o r d-breakine
year' has been recorded for
the University's All-State pro
gram as 426 high school stu
dents have registered for the
three-week course which be
gan last Tuesday.
John Moran, general direc
tor of the fine arts and jour
nalism course, said the final
tally may show an increase
of 50 students over last year.
It also looks like one of the
biggest percentage increases
we ve ever had, he said.
More than 75 of the students
are given full or partial schol
arships by towns and civic
organizations and clubs, Mor
an said. He added that nearly
every Nebraska county is rep
resented in the All-State en
rollment. The All-State course is held
each year at the University
to give Nebraska high school
students the opportunity to
work closely with University
professors in art, speech,
music and journalism.
Students selecting the art
sequence are, for the first
time, using the New Nelle
Cochrane Woods building
studios.

More startling, and per
haps more rewarding, are
the results which have been
obtained in actual class
room teaching. Lecture ma
terials in literature, lan
guage and composition for
each grade K-12 were pre
pared during a second
workshop session during
the summer of 1962.
Starting Point
When the classics are
used as a starting point for
composition, the results are
unlike any that teachers
have had before.
First grader Debra Bow
yer, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Austin Bowyer of Lin
coln, proved this with her
story about "The Short
Necked Giraffe."
"Once upon a time there
was a giraffe who had a
very short neck. It was so
short that he could not
reach the leaves on the
trees. So he went to the zoo
keeper. He asked the zoo
keeper if he could chop
down all the trees. But the
zoo keeper said he could
not do that. So he went on.
By and by he came to the
elephant. He asked the ele
phant if he could chop down
all the trees, but he said
he could not do that. So he
went on. By and by he
came to the beaver. He
asked the beaver if he
could chew down the trees.
But the beaver said he
could not. So the giraffe
went back to his cage. Just
then the zoo keeper came
to see him with an idea.
So he gathered lots of
leaves and put them in the
giraffe's cage. The more
leaves the giraffe ate, the
longer his neck grew until
he could reach the leaves

"Literature becomes ex
citing when it is taught as
a separate subject," en
thused Debra's teacher,
Mrs. Virginia Hamilton.
"The controlled vocabu
lary of a Dick and Jane
reading skills book is a
necessary tool, but It is not
very stimulating to . the
child's imagination,1' com
mented Frank Rice, co-director
of the Nebraska Cur
riculum Center. He added,
"We want the grade school
child to hear highly imagi
native reading so he can
see why he should learn to
read." .
Dr. Rice and his col
league, C. J. Simpson, were
the two Omaha teachers
who did independent re
search on a program for
teaching advanced Ameri
can literature in. high
school. Later their, w t r k
was incorporated into the
experimental curriculum
for Nebraska. .
Mrs. Hamilton's first
grade class responded to
the reading of literature
first by oral tape recording
of their own stories, and
later by writing (printing)
them themselves.
Writing Philosophy
The philosophy, as stated
by the curriculum writers,
is this: "Children learn to
talk by imitating the
speech which they hear.
They learn to write if
they learn at all by
imitating what they read.
Great writing, given the
qualities of greatness with
in the student, fosters good
writing by example."
In other words, it is the
philosophy of this group

that the creative child will
become an even better
writer by being exposed
to the work of the masters.
In keeping with the
state's dynamic conserva
tism the curriculum would
allow teachers due free
dom, and yet avoid chaos
by setting up a few simple
guidelines..
It would be a grogram
that is -both sequential and
consequential. That is, on
each level there is a defi
nite .set., of skills to be
mastered rather than re
peating from last year.
However, the secquenccs
' are guaged according to
ability rather than an ar
bitrary grade level. And to
be consequential, the stu
dent should know he is get
ting somewhere. "He ought
not to feel the confusion of
Alice In Wonderland."
. What has brought about
these changes in the direc
tion of teaching English
Why are the classics com
ing back to the classroom?
Much of the credit must
go to the National Council
of Teachers of English
(NCTE) which two years
ago issued a scathing report
on the condition of English
in the schools and then set
out to do something about
it.
Agencies and Men
Credit must also go to the
various government and
private agencies which have
financed the undertaking,
as well as the men who
have believed in it.'
Perhaps the timing is al
so a factor. James R.
Squire, executive secretary
of NCTE, noted that it
takes 30 years to re-train a
NASA Spacemobile On Exhibit
. The National Aeronautics
and Space Administration
"Spacemobile" will be on
campus through Wednesday.
A space science lecture
demonstration and discussion
of the Nation's space pro
gram for peaceful purposes
will be held in the Union Au
ditorium at 9 and 10 a.m. and
2 p.m. Wednesday.

generation of teachers. The
last extensive change in the
teaching of English, he ex
plained, occurred during tha
thirties. At that time, ideal
istic teachers were imbued
with the more extreme pro
gressive notion that chil
dren should be educated
only in terms of their im
mediate needs. Lay people
termed this phase "how to
get along"; educators call
ed it "adjustment to the en
vironment." Additional momen
tum was given to the
change, according to Rice,
who helped direct the cir
ciculum study, by the de
mand for increased excel
lence in the scientific fields.
This, he explained, spurred
the humanities to create
programs of acceleration.
Squire believes that we
are now in the middle of
the change. Much of it is
still on the leadership level,
and much of it is still re
stricted to the "bright
kids" and the schools that
have money. But is is hoped
that eventually all levels
will benefit.
For this reason the Uni
versity of Nebraska study
ranges from kindergarten
through the 12th grade. Its
planners believe that each
student must have a solid
background every step of
the way if he is to be able
tf read the classics, many
of which are by nature
more difficult.
Perhaps it can be best ex
pressed by the curriculum
planners themselves:
"Perhaps it is better that
a student read the great
and half-understand than
that he read mere pap and
master it."
ienced science educators will
answer five basic questions:
(1) What is a satellite?
(2) How does it get into or
bit? (3) What keeps it in orbit?
(4) What good is it, and
what does it do?
(5) What are the, present
activities of the NASA, the
results of these programs and
plans for the future.
Authentic space models il
lustrating the numerous
NASA space projects will be
on display in the Union Main
Lounge through Wednesday.
