one Teacher becomes beTTer ac- quainTed wiTh each sTudenT and is able To work more eTTecTively wiTh hi m. The core sysTem was developed To help pupils acquire such TraiTs as good ciTizenship and The abiliTy To work eTTecTively wiTh oThers. Because iT is believed ThaT These qualiTies are besT developed Through a general educaTion, The iunior high school program oT sTudy is builT around required courses designed To provide a good general background. How- ever, no sTudenT will be leTT wiTh- ouT any choice in selecred courses. AcTually, The program is suTTicienTly Tlexible To allow sTu- denTs To Take courses in special Tields. The school provides a Teacher counselling service To as- sisT in making These choices. AddiTional skills are needed by The Teacher who works wiTh young people in The classroom co-ordin- aTion oT The curriculum. The im- porTanT ones are as Tollows: l. UndersTanding oT needs, in- TeresTs, and abiliTies oT Teen- age boys and girls. 2. AbiliTy To work boTh as a member oT a group and as a leader in The group. 3.

Some ol lhe more slriking dillerences are as follows: l. The iunior high makes grealer provisions for individual inler- esls and needs by permilling each pupil lo help selecl his own courses. 2.
