in Qld Song: New Words Although each school year seems to be a duplicate of the year betore, occasional changes take place. leaving teacher and student temporarily dazed and perhaps inconvenienced, but, on the whole, benefitted. News ofexpectant changes in the curricula of the English and Social Studies departments have accompanied the new school term. Among these changes is the adjustment of the teachers to a new assort- ment of textbooks. In-service days spent review- ing proposed textbooks and de- bating their advantages seemed to be trying and thankless. Opinions ranged from those who felt that adjustment to the former text had taken too long to begin the same process with a new one to those who felt that the textbooks should be up- dated to keep up with the times. Votes from all the teach- ers in the city were tallied, brin- ing the selection to an end. Al- though the change will involve curriculum adaptation on the part of the teachers, the switch should be easier for them than for the students, who are ex- pected to bear the full brunt of the change.
