Sifert, chairman, meets every two weeks during thc third period to study and evaluate plans suggested by any member of the faculty. The committee also considers those administrative problems brought to its attention by the superintendent, and makes recommendations for action to the administration. Seven members compose the group, each year a new member is appointed and one is dropped. lVIembers of the Advisory Committee select the new members of the Committee on Committees each year. The major activity of the group this year was the study of the General Education Development tests given veterans Hllll others in service. These tests afford the service people an opportunity to earn more high school credit and to obtain high school diplomas. COMMITTEE ON COMMITTEES ln order to further the ideal of democracy for all, the Committee on Committees strives to arrange a balanced program for every teacher. The main theme of this group is to equalize the eXtra-curricular activities among the faculty members. By this method, no teacher is over-taxed with exces- sive duties. The committee of twelve is guided by A. L. Fry, chairman. The members are selected by the Advisory Committee each year. The official meeting was held this spring, at which time the new members were elected. Additional meetings were then held two or three times each week for a month, and plans for the following fall schedules were discussed.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE To prepare programs which keep the faculty informed concerning educational trends and developments, to present several programs of educational interest each year, and to bring con- troversial questions in school routine before the faculty for discussion are the purposes of the Professional Development Committee. The committee, which consists of seven faculty members, meets once a month or as often as possible when programs are being prepared. Some of the major activities include preparing and determining the material for presentation at professional faculty meetings, arranging for university field courses and lecturers. and securing selected printed matter of current informa- tion for faculty distribution, such as 'GThe Ramparts We Defend and uThe. Story of Dum- barton Oaksfi Some of the outstanding speakers presented in the past have been Dr. Ralph W. Tyler of the University of Chicagog Dr. Howard W7ilson of Harvard Universityg Dr. Leon Kranz of Northwestern University, and Dr. John Marshall of the Institute of Nuclear Science of the University of Chicago. STUDENT-FACULTY CO-ORDINATING COMMITTEE Equality is the first essential of a united world. It was with this idea in mind that the administration of Proviso founded the Student-Faculty Co-ordinating Committee only two years ago. Providing an essential tie between the teacher and the student, the organization en- deavors to solve problems which are not particularly related to any other jurisdiction. At the monthly meetings, both student and teacher express their opinions easily and Without em- barrassment. All sides of each issue are investigated and conclusions drawn from the findings. Bullet-ins, homeroom discussions, and publicity are used to stop the disturbing elements. The committee is in close contact with thc Student Council. Wiilson A. Law, chairman, and Bar- barba Groenke, secretary, are the only two officers of the committee.
