' 1 if PHYSICS STUDENTS TEST THE FORCE OF STATIC ELECTRICITY Long examinations introduced in June A school-Wide system of long examina- tions went into effect at the end of the second semester. Students gained experi- ence in college-type examinations, and teachers sharpened their ideas of course content and purposes. Primarily, how- ever, the long examinations constituted an effective means of instruction. By fur- nishing occasion for thorough review and by setting questions that demanded both comprehensive and penetrating views of a course, a long examination became the culmination of a yearis study. Questions calling for essay-type answers required the student not merely to recall facts and concepts, though that was essential, but more importantly to demonstrate devel- oped intellectual power of organizing and evaluating facts. What the student was able to do with what he had learned was the main concern. Examination questions were to search out the extent of the stu- dent's knowledge by requiring him to use it imaginatively. With this view, teachers prepared long examinations for New Trier students in all academic subjects. The continuing growth of New Trier has brought a continuing growth of cur- riculum indicative of the school's desire to serve the students and the community.
