The curriculum is designed to suit every student's need. Among the varied programs of Central Dauphin is included that of Special Education in which there are several chil dren whose needs differ from the average, and require additional help. Under the guidance of Mr. Ludwig Yakimoff, they learn to be more self-sufficient, develop good reading habits and acquire knowledge which will adapt them to every- day life. There are several projects which these students work on during the school year. Through these they hope to attain free- dom of social relationships, respect for labor, physical well being, constructive habits, responsibility to their nation and government, and the art of being able and co-operative citizens of their country. The Driver Education program is divided into two parts: Classroom theory and behind-the-wheel training. All juniors are required to take this course. The object of the classroom education is to teach attitudes and habits that cannot be learned in an automobile. In other words, it teaches the motor code. The purpose for practice driving is to provide learning experience for the student as an observer and student driver in the automobile. Here, students are taught driving skills systematically in the two new cars, that have been furnished. 95

Distributive Education teaches the student through experience and classroom instruction. MR. JOHN J. MAGERA Distributive Educationg Sales. Bloomsburg State Teachers Collegeg New York Univer- sityg B.S. Distributive Educa- tion Club. The Distributive Education course provides knowledge and practice in retail, wholesale, and service fields of business. The class has a morning class, taught by Mr. Magera, and an evening class. The morning schedule consists of training in salesmanship, principles of advertising, display, basic arithmetic, store or- ganization, and personality development. The afternoons are taken up through actual work experience which is closely coordinated with the classroom training. This gives the student necessary experience in many phases of business and prepares him for a career in merchandising. MR. JOHN KARL BRUNNER Driver Education.

This year at Central Dauphin there are two auto shops: one in the main shop area, and another in the bus terminal, op- posite the parking lot. In their sophomore year, the boys learn the importance of a well-done job, and become familiar with the tools and general equipment of the shop. The juniors gain a knowledge of the automobile, learn loyalty to the trade and employer, and are encouraged to develop an ability to meet the people and sell service intelligently. Seniors in auto me- chanics develop ability in leadership, and are able to diagnose the trouble in automobiles. Mechanical Drawing is a primary course in drafting.
