LA CUESTA 1930 THE COLLEGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL The College Elementary School feeling the responsibility of being, as Dr. Gammage says, the heart of A. S. T. C., has taken on new energy in 1929-30 under the practical leadership of Dr. Repp. There has been a unification in the physical management of the schoolg all records have been brought up to date and made available for daily use and study. Dr. Repp has been approachable on every matter of procedure and policy as to pupil enrollment and student faculty assign- ment. The children, students, and college supervisors have been enlisted in the campaign to permit in the classroom only children of normal minds and bodies, keenly alert and growing. Intelligence tests have been given to all children and their results have been carefully studied. With such objects for their laboratory work, concentration on the child's growth becomes the test of a student's power to teach. To secure objective data as to the educational status of pupils in the school, Stan- ford Achievement Tests have been given to all grades above the first at midyear. Standardized tests are used as teaching devices and Work sheets have been evolved by student teachers and supervisors to assist the learn- ing process and to aid the child in a growing independence in his studies. Classes have been reorganized to fit anticipated state situations. Subject matter supervision in the upper grades has taken the place of former single grade supervision so that the student may recognize the changing methods of approach from grade to grade. The problem of managing a study class at the same time a class is in recitation has been presented to the student by the new adjustment. The students have taken over the social responsibility of calling at the homes of their pupils. The Parent-Teacher organization has been reorganized and strengthened. Much care has been taken to give the pupils of the College Elementary School the best of possible training teachers. The laboratory students of the teaching profession in College Elementary this year have been the senior or junior students of the college. This has given to the children of our Elementary School the stimulation of our best student teachers as they strive to demonstrate their fitness for the best teaching positions the state of Arizona offers.
