eedles, t pewriters, films, Education is changing in many ways. Wfho, in the days of the little red one-room schoolhouse, would have dreamed that high school students would one day at- tend schools with as many as fifty rooms, a modern cafeteria, and a complete library and film service? Nor could they have imagined the variety of subjects, such as home economics, business, on-the-job training, and industrial arts. In the field of business there are typing, business math, general business, office practice, bookkeeping, and shorthand. In these courses students operate various machines never imagined in the past. They use calcu- lators, adding machines, typewriters, comptometers, and duplicators. Home economics girls learn how to sew, cook. and care for children. Their work areas have all the convenience of a modern home. This year they visited the meat department of Krogers, the Vifoodlawn Hos- pital, and department stores in Indianapolis. The girls saw an electronic oven demonstrated and a completely electric home that is heated by invisible radiant heat wires in the ceiling. Home economics is changing to meet a changing world.

Amazing increases in reading speed have meant better grades for the students enrolled in development- al reading. Offered for the first time this year, it has helped about fifty students to read more rapidly. Mr. Adams, the instructor. is very enthusiastic about his pupils, who have practically all at least doubled their rates. He points out that from the first grade, child- ren have been told to read everything carefully. XWhen they reach high school and college age, they are baf- fled by all the reading material they are supposed to cover in a single assignment. Of course, math, science. and social studies should be read carefully, but the student needs to read faster for other subjects and outside reading. The purpose of developmental read- ing is to help students realize this difference and use their new reading speeds to good advantage. This course will undoubtedly be continued with even greater success in the future, also aids in learning . . . Mr. Adams shows Pam jones and Cozetta Teel how to op- erate the pacers used by all developmental reading students. Not all of us can visit steel mills or peer through a telescope at the moon, or look into a microscope that shows the circulation of the blood, but we can see all these things through motion pictures. Through the film we can see and hear recorded experiences from anywhere and everywhere. Vile can take a movie trip to California or Florida or Arizona and learn hovv citrus fruits are grown and made ready for market. XX'e can see excellent schools which prepare children to live effectively in the world of today and schools with overburdened teachers and poor equipment. Mr. Parker, audio-visual director at RHS. helps teachers take advantage of this effective teaching tool. During 1958, he spent S250 for 210 films shown to pupils in grades nine through twelve. These motion pictures are helping the students of RHS learn what it means to be a citizen in the world of tomorrow.
