The program is also outlined to help the students who have to take that one year of math to graduate. This year the Baytown School District is participating in the National Longitudinal Study of Mathematical Abilities which is being con- ducted by Stanford University. The purpose of the study is to obtain sound information on the learning of math by students in our schools. At the beginning of this study information on the pupil's mathematical knowledge and skill, his attitude toward math, and his reasoning abil- ity, was determined by a series of tests. These Mr. Shirley, B.S, in Ed.g Mr. Carter, B.A. in Ed.g Miss Heckmaster, B.S. in Ed.g Mrs. Garvin, A.B. in Ed. tests will be given during this five year study and also at the end of it. Pupils all over the United States are in- volved in this test so that useful information can be obtained with respect to all the vari- ables to be studied. Students learn the ABC's of algebra in Mrs. Garvin's class. 22 . 1 , ll Mr. Shirley knows all the angles of geometry.

This is the only complete district fair designed to include all grade levels in a single district. Although this fair wasn't connected with the Kansas City science fair, helpful criticism was given to the entries in preparation for submission to the Kansas City fair. Besides having the first science fair, several new items have been added to the department. The chemistry course has been changed to a lower level. In the past only a college course was offered. In the equip- ment field, a human skeleton, aplastic brain model, poloroid cameras, and microscopes have been added in various science classes.
