SCHOOLS ADAPTING WORK TO THE PDPIL Departmental Teaching in tfy Grade School! If Now Being Extended. OTILS MAKE OWN CHOICE ' Tht . opening of the i new school year brings further evidence of tendency to adapt .the curricuiufh to the pupil rather than to make the pupil adapt himself to a hard and fast course of study. The idea departmental teaching in the grad schools ,ii also being extended, 'the experimental stage having been pass ed and its practrcability established. The first departmental work in the grade schools was that introduced, at Long school ten years ago, when the late Sarah McShane was principal. Martha Powell, the succeeding prin cipal, took the , work up anal today she is the most enthusiastic propon ent of departmental education for tittn, sixth, seventn and eigntn grades Within the last few years this sys tem, was introduced it Edwar3 Rose- water, Columbian, Garfield, Windsor and Tram schools. Beginning with the school year now being started, the following schools have been added to the list: south Lincoln, Miner rark, Monmouth . PaYk, Saratoga, Clifton Hill, Walnut Htil, Lincoln and baup den. Dundee Ooei Further. The Dundee school has gone one step in advance by adopting what is known as the differentiated course of study, which means that the pupils are required to take specmed essen tiala and" may make two selection from the following studies: minui training, domestic science, -physical training, music) drawing, German or rrench. I his system is made neces sary because the Dundee school is the only grade school of the Greater Omaha system having domestic science and French. To ask any one Eupil to take the whole course would e unreasonable and unwise,, the tcnooi oinciais explain. Principal 'Powell at Long school believes the departmental plan has justified itself for the sixth, seventn and eighth grades, and she believes it will apply with more or less success in the tilth grade, l bis year she is including only the sixth, seventh and eighth grades, for the reason that her sixth A class is so large she was re quired to divide it into two classes, thus making in all seven classes now taking the departmental work, y Teachers May SpscialUe. ', "There are several good reasons why 1 would I recommend the de partmental plan," saftl Miss Powell. ror one. intng, u enaDics incsc teachers to specialise in one or two branches of educational work, gen erally one branch. How can any eighth grade teacher, for instance, cover twelve subjects and do her work well? .The teachers who -have been working under this new plan become its most ardent advocates, i' "The plan lends' itself to better discipline., ', The pupils, by changing irvm room tu .room lor inoir- refla tion or stqdy periods, meet different teachers during the day, and if thene' is any friction it is not carried along in the sarae room for a day or days. In many instances a teacher wifl fol low me same pupil in ner branch ot the work for three or four years and in that way is better able to determine the pupil i abilities or usabilities. - Pupils' Movt ArouncL. "And another thought: A pupil may be in the lead in arithmetic ani hehind in geography. In the de partmental plan he does not have, to carry hia deficiency in the s.me room an day and tnus he is not so easily discouraged. The system- gives the pupil more interest in his work." - At the Long school, for instance, the departmental pupils work on a regular schedule similar to a high school. The school day is from 9 to 11:45 a. m hud 1:15 to 3:30 p, m. Dur ing the first twenty minutes all pupils or ine acnooi devote ine time to study. The rest of the school day is divided -into 23-minute periods for the departmental work. Three of those -periods are used for study of arithmetic, grammar and algebra; the others aro for, recitations. The sev enth and eighth , grade pupils study spelling and history at home. No study periods 'are required for suchfl hrnnrha-a a,a tn,al . m.n.l inLi-- t reading, drawing or writing. , ' At, Option ot Pupils. ; Principal Powell tays shd will rec ommend for the next course of study an amendment which will give the pupil the Option of taking 100 min utes a week of music or drawing and of manual training or German. The school people are becoming convinced that the course of studv is becoming so top heavy that selec- Beaton Path" S5c Durham Duplex Razors and Blades for 8 Ivory'Soap, 2 for 6 50c Vera Form Bath Powder, for 25s 25cLustrit Nail EJnarael .cake, KOl! .Samnal'a fl.P M..l. 81.00 Duffy'i Malt Whiakey, f& Photo Dept.
