ers completely revamped their courses to emphasize basic science instead of the tech- nological applications that had in the past cluttered textbooks and courses throughout the country. The new courses and the new methods of teaching follow the pioneering work of physicists led by Professor Zacha- rias of the blassachusetts lnstitute of Tech- nology. The mathematics curriculum introduced a new course in freshman algebra to several sections to test new materials developed by the School Mathematics Study Group of which blr. Swain of the New Trier faculty is a member. Development continued in higher level courses in the theory of sets, statistical probability, Boolean algebra, modern algebra, and symbolic logic. Ag.-. -n...... , 4 The social studies curriculum introduced two one-semester courses at the 2 subject level in the senior year. Labeled 20th Cen- tury l'.S. and 20th Century VVorld, they attracted large enrollments for new courses. They were written during the preceding summer by Klr. Shearer and llr. Knupfer of the New Trier faculty. A second year of special vocational edu- cation was offered this year for several New Trier students and for a few others from neighboring communities by contractual arrangement. The music courses were expanded to pro- vide work in musical composition and ad- vanced harmony and appreciation in addi- tion to the numerous performing groups at various levels of artistic development.

Speech therapy became available for larger numbers of students, and every fresh- man was given a hearing test. Audio-visual supplements came into wider use to enrich instruction in estab- lished or developing courses. Closed-circuit television was again studied carefully but deemed not yet suitable for adoption at New Trier. A reading center was established with the employment of a new teacher to work with individual students, small classes, and, more importantly, with teachers in various departments for the improvement of read- ing in all areas of instruction.
