Core studies material should be used as the basis for discussion, written work, vocabulary work and class reports. This makes it possible for the teacher to use real ideas as the basis for English work instead of the former uncorrelated subject matter usual- ly used as t asis for the study of English. Each core dies class is an important unit of the Farrington high school government. Each room elects a representative to the school assembly. Through this tie-up all kinds of schoollmfblems, such as finance, athletics, health, and campus improvement are dis- cussed and constructive action undertaken. In this way, each student is helped and encouraged to take an active part in the affairs of the school. It is believed that this makes possible actual experience in citizenship. Miss Kan found something wonderful. lhese eager sophomores find geography interesting

It is based upon cannon functional needs and significant life problems. Core represents the sum total of personal youth problems and the problems of social sig- nificance encountered by youth. It exists without relation to subject lines and is organized around problems. It is an eff rt to bring a- bout a more complete integration. The subject matt s regarded only as a means to an end of more abundant living for e pupil, instead of QQ an end in itself. The security and welfare, not only of the individual but of so- ciety, demand the progressive adjustment of the individual to his so- cial group and national culture. All teachers and all areas of learn- ing have the responsibility for the social development of the indi- vidual student and student group. Core studies have, however, a spe- cial responsibility in this field. They must not only help the stu- dent in maturing his social judgements and habits and in understand- ing and appreciating his own civilization, they must inform him, pro- vide him with materials and methods of learning. They must give him the opportunity not only to improve his social practice and partici- pation, but to become increasingly a sound student of society, par- ticularly his own.
