Common Learnings Program Murphy’s Common Learnings program attracted many people interested in curriculum experimenta- tion. Miss Mildred Ellisor, supervisor of instruction in Monroe County and former Core teacher at Mur- phy, brought a party to spend the day, and a similar group came from Conecuh County. Prominent indi- viduals who spent varying lengths of time in obser- vation and consultation were: Dr. Rosalind Zapf of Detroit, with the Ford Foundation; Dr. Herman Frick of Florida State University; Dr. Hoyt M. Brock of Florence State Teachers College; Dr. William Van Till of Peabody College; and Dr. Alfred Kirsch of Dusscldorf, Germany. Core teachers themselves journeyed to Troy State Teachers College for a week- end conference and workshop. Adult and Veteran School The Adult and Veteran division is gradually becoming more adult and less veteran. Two-thirds of the students this year were non-veterans taking courses ranging from grades 1 to 12, in addition to post-graduate courses in college preparatory, in- dustrial arts, and business education. Special short term courses which attracted many adults were milli- nery, optical physics, interior decoration, flower ar- rangement, income tax, gardening, horticulture, sew- ing, art, and duplicating machines. Adult and Veteran Division is self-sustaining through tuition. Through the years it has equipped Murphy with many office machines, including rotary and keydriven calculators, adding machines, and duplicating machines. This year the division gave the visual education department an R C A senior pro- jector, an opaque projector, and two daylight screens.
