PAUL B. JACOBSON ELSIE M. SMITHIES Principal Assistant Principal About a half century ago the advocates of the junior high school began to advance arguments based on child development in an effort to establish a six year secondary school. Changes in our society have made it desirable to extend the secondary school to include the First two years of the traditional college program. This furnishes an elementary school of six years, a junior high school consisting of grades seven through ten, and an upper secondary school or college consisting of grades eleven through fourteen. for many years educators have been considering the benefits which would accrue from the 6-4-4 organization. Some seven years ago the University adopted the form of organization in principle. ln the autumn quarter of 'l939 the plan was placed in full operation when separate housing for the Four Year College was secured on Woodlawn Avenue. No final answer to the benefits or difficulties which will appear here in practice can be given. But the results in the intermediate unit to date have been so satisfactory that the faculty and administrative officers are most encouraged. The activities program has been unusually successful. The council has functioned with distinction. The club program has been successful. Assemblies have been held regularly and successfully. Social affairs have gone even more smoothly than even the most hopeful proponents of the 6-4-4 plan had hoped. A group of pupils without previous experience have edited a newspaper which is a credit to themselves and to the school. ' Curriculum development, begun earlier, has continued with increasing momentum throughout the year. The University l-ligh School has experienced a successful year and loolcs forward to even more satisfactory developments in the future. ln a laboratory school, dedicated to the science of education, there will always be change in administrative organization, classroom methods, curriculum content, guidance service, and activities. But the changes will not be revolutionary. Rather they will evolve over relatively long periods of time and will embody the best thinlcing of educators who are competent to advise on educational practice. We are well pleased with the results in the new administrative unit. We loolt forward to the future with lceen anticipation. -P. B. JACOBSON Page ll
