CARL- BERG, social science. John Bizancs is carefully ex¬ plaining the graph to the Community Living and Occupation class. Seeing no reason for scrapping any subject, our faculty thought that a war year was a good time to teach anything in the regular curricular better than ever before, l’rograms for students who worked in the mills and the stores were adjusted, and school credit was given tor this work. However, the student had to carry the usual basic subjects. The faculty’s most important job of the year, which they accomplished with their usual success, was making clear to students the program of a nation at war. The slogan, Learn, Serve, Conserve, Share, and Save” was interpreted and practiced. Ihcre was also the matter of making understandable such vital matters as rationing, wise buying, planned saving, and democratic ideals. Thus Four Freedoms” became more than a phrase. Although we did not go in for uniforms and special awards, we did align ourselves with the Victory Corps Program. Room 105 was a very popular place this year because all departments showed films. This augmenting of the regular program was very well received. Miss Tappan’s classes prepared a scrapbook giving a comprehensive record of Emerson’s war activities. This received honorable mention in the state contest. The Good Neighbor Policy was promoted in the Language Arts group by the showing of films of Mexico, Central America, and South America. Working with Mr. Bohn and the primary academic leaders, Miss Allen and Mrs. Harris carried on an experiment to determine the effect of formal instruction on read¬ ing readiness test results. A fine report was made with the general conclusion that the results warranted repeating the experiment for a longer period under more favorable conditions. As we go to press, the pros and cons of a 100% promotion are being discussed by faculty and parents. Mr. Bohn, Miss Jones, Miss Elliott, and Mrs. LaDcaux led panel discussions based on the book, Promotion or Failure? by Carleton M. Eawycr.
