ua-' l i Carol Richardson of the Cadet teaching class is shown above with her hole economics class at Highland Park Grade School. To explore the possibilities in the teaching field and create an awareness of the opportunities it offers, HPHS has offered a course in Cadet Teaching. High school seniors who felt that they wanted to enter the teaching profession were given an opportunity to investigate this work. Some time was given in study to the philosophy of education as well as methods of teaching. Actual training was gained when the students went into the classrooms in the elementary schools within the high school district and took charge of the class under the supervision of the regular classroom teacher. All freshmen at Highland Park High School are required to take civics and family life. The course began with a study of the students' immediate environment and developed from the study of the family on to the community. to the state, and to the nation. Family living is a course that deals in social problems as the result of both sociological and psychological causes. Emphasis was laid on the individual in the family, with study in family-member relationships, dating, marriage, and family and home management. However, problems of community welfare, such as public health, housing, and others of city-wide concern, were not neglected.
