1 I I l I I it y if lt L 4 4 1 S i f l i l r 1 I f l f I i I F 'f le l THE EXPERIMENTAL CURRICULUM It was in the fall of 1933 that a decisive action was taken in the United States to modernize education. XVith the installment of a new system, credited with vast improvements over the now existing standard type of high school education, a move was made which may revolutionize the present teaching procedure. Today we have the need of an altered educational system to meet the present necessi- ties. Life today has many more complex problems than in the pioneer era. Vtfhereas our fathers, living aro-und the 1890's had only about 300 kinds of work to choose from, we have now over 2300 varied types, created mostly through the incredible progress of science. The special curriculum group aims to prepare students for the present day complications and conditio-ns of later life. Fortunately XYisconsin High School was invited by the Progressive Educa- tion Association to be one of the many experimental groups throughout the na- tion. The basic principles set forth by the Progressive Education Association come under two heads: l. XVhatever the participating school does by way of experiment should be so thorough a departure from the ordinary procedure of education, that the results, be they good or bad, can be traced definitely to some failing or virtue of the new system, 2. The cue for direction of such a departure is most likely to be found in some major omission or fault in the present practice. Two points have been discovered in the secondary school curriculum which have been attacked only half-heartedly. ln these two points, adjustment and in- tellectual improvement, the experimental group curriculum has departed from the present high school standards. lt is the opinion of the Progressive Educa- tion Association that adjustment is needed to cope with the complexities men- tioned before. The conclusion drawn from the intellectual improvement idea is that the standard system gives only the advantages of more general wisdom, leaving the pupil to form his own design fo-r living. Another fault found in the school system of today is the passive acceptance, by the students, of facts rather than a more active participation in class discussion and an exhibition of reluc- tance to accept all ideas set forth. Consequently, the program o-f the experimental group was build around these first two principles with the last advanced idea as one of the foremost corrections to take place. The adjustment program consists of four subjects, education for Community Living, educatio-n for Health, education for Leisure Time and education for Vocations and College Life. The program for intel- lectual improvement is made up of elective courses varying in number from the Sophomore year through the Senio-r year. The adjustment program, being the major change effected, will warrant the most discussion. Let us look into the nature of the different subjects. Edu- cation for Community Living, supervised by Burr NV. Phillips, puts emphasis on two purposes, the first of which is to keep abreast of current affairs and get the best possible understanding of them, and the second, an analysis of the major social trends in our country. Perhaps many wonder if this is not covered in the other social studies such as History. A good deal of it may be, but in order to obtain a compact knowledge of histo-rical and present day affairs and social trends, they must be linked together and combined, fragmentary sketches from history studies soon leave the mind. To accomplish the purpose of student in- itiative, formerly given as an aim of this experiment, an orientation unit was estab- lished to encourage an interest in current affairs and the regular use of the news- papers, magazines and radio in regard to this subject. Education for Health is led by Miss Lynda XVeber and Mr. Harold G. McMullen who have, through extensive research, gained a mass of information and certain set principles in the field of personal and community health. Miss Henderson assisted bv teach- ing the fine points of marketing from the consumers standpoint. Aniong the things touched upon in this course are: adjustment to- the school program, posture Page Eleven
