The new look in teaching and learning methods came to us this year via funds from the Ford Foundation. ln mathematics and science the T.V.-master-teacher pro- grams became a part of many classes. Advantages to student and instructor are numerous. The second phase of new procedures is the team-approach. Here an expe- rienced teacher and an inexperienced teacher work with two normal size classes in an oversized classroom, equipped with special sound devices and instructional material. Secretarial and student teacher assistance is made available to the team. This procedure gives advantage of several interpre- tations and approaches to a prob- lem. Students become adjusted to the impersonal situation they will experience in college classrooms. They become proficient in listening and taking notes. The team approach also has the benefit of demonstrations, applica- tion, and interpretation. Classroom situations are augumented by vicar- ious experiences. That techniques seeming so new today, will be old stuff in 2,000 A.D. is very likely. 26

DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION is an important factor in the economy of today's world, and concerns the well being of every individual. Distributive Education clubs are a vital link in bringing to the people a more perfect understanding of the progress of their community. There is a steady, growing need for individuals quali- fied with the knowledge of how goods may be distributed for the best interest of everyone. Our American system of free enterprise must keep abreast with the cur- rent business practices and demands. Distributive Education is the motivating force that directs its efforts toward training young people for these varied services. A Distributive Education student is employed during the afternoon as a student-learner. This student receives training and valuable experience in learning the process of business in his chosen occupation. The student also earns five credits for his high school record as well as gaining extensive knowledge that could never be attained in the classroom. Miss Beth West .
