THEO ITZ Commercial Learning by experience is the basis upon which Brackenridge I operates. Problems that are of Vital interest to the students them- X selves are brought forth and discussed by all. Each individual Q If student has the democratic privilege to present his opinion to the S class. Through this, much knowledge is formulated, and the students Z are enabled to see both sides of questions concerning current 2' 5 problems of world affairs and those of interest to students of today. if Daily assignments are given the students of today, with every- 6 S R one participating in the class discussions and activities. We gain our fgmgegg- knowledge through actual experience, not relying solely upon books for our information. We plan and prepare meals, repair a car, sketch a picture, build cedar chests, design a dress, find the elements of water, have class elections, and practice parliamentary procedure. Our knowledge is gained through experience.
