We Explore Then And Now .fdcluancevf American ,Mabry Cfaod This was the third year for the advanced American history class, and the members were chosen on the basis of scores on achievement tests given at the beginning of the school year. Twenty students who showed superior knowl- edge of the subject became members of the class this year. These people were freed from routine class work, but they were required to cover the text- book as the other students did and to take all the exams. During the regular class period, this group was permitted to do more extensive 12 reading and research in the school library. Broad discussion questions and essay exams were given to the members. Term papers were assigned, and basic methods of research and mechanics of paper writing were also stressed. Since these papers were read before the ad- vanced class, some of them were recorded and played later for the regular American history classes. Special achievement exams on each phase of study were given, and an achievement exam over the entire American history course was taken at the end of the year.
