The groups, composed of children living nearby, were from the kindergarten through the sixth grades. These classes were small so that the pupils could receive special attention. XVhen the Montclair Normal School became Montclair State Teachers College the demonstration classes changed accordingly, still remaining small enough for the pupils to have personal contact with their teachers. Not only were the primary grades changed to junior and Senior High School, but they moved in to a new College High building built especially for them. The new classes, containing about twentyvtive members each, were composed of former students of the primary school together with many new pupils. The popularity of the school spread, and pupils from the surrounding towns were admitted. They commute now from Pompton Lakes, Little Falls, Paterson, Caldwell, Verona, Bloom- field, Essex Fells, and Newark. Observers come from all over the country to see a school of this type at work. In one year there was a total of twenty-tive thousand observers. The school is run on a plan similar to those of other high schools, but incor- porated in it are many improvements of a modern character. Run by far-seeing edu- cators, in it the best of the old has been combined with the best of the new. The instructors are college professors with many years of experience in both college and high school teaching. The students have their own self-government, their own newspaper, and their own clubs. These activities are supervised by faculty advisers, but never managed by them, so that the responsibility may rest entirely upon the students. The classes are informal rather than stiff and severe, and include a great deal of personal relationship between the student and teacher. Privileges are granted, and if not abused they are continued. The Senior Honor Permits are based upon the scholastic record and on the ability of the student to find constructive things to do around the school. This permits the Seniors to carry on any activities they wish during study periods. L It is felt that this hilltop school of about one hundred and fifty, though only an experiment, is fully justifying itself in the work of its members and the commendable example of its alumnig and it is hoped that it will prove an inspiration to other schools and educators. ,mf aztqzrf
