Mr. Raymond Ethier, language Social Studies might give departmental- wide tests of an almost subjective nature, whereas Mr. Ferguson, head of Mathe- matics, and Mr. Skilken in Science would be forced to give objective tests. It is usually very difficult to develop a new history curriculum within a single school without relying on outside help. Mr. Altree's new curriculum was developed with the aid of several conferences with educators from outside Newton. On the other hand, it would be easier for Mr. Ethier in Languages to make curriculum revisions without the help of a great num- ber of outside educators, since languages do not touch on as many diversified fields as history does. Mr. Mitchell in Guidance faces responsibilities very different from most of the other department heads, much of his work is in conjunction with people outside the school. The department heads also differ in the amount of control which they exert over their various curricula. Some depart- ments allow the individual teacher a great deal of freedom in developing and timing the presentation of his subject matter-enabling him to make up his own tests, scale the marks, and so forth, whereas other departments maintain a more rigidly-pattemed curriculum. The growing trend, however, is allowing the individual teacher greater freedom in the actual teaching process with the depart- ment head concerning himself with over- all curriculum building. xg , as . f it 1 af' ,lg f. , .ig .gg V ,Q 4.
