CAMDANILE 928 STUDENT COUNCIL-SECOND SEYIESTER OME ROOMS-The 'latest innovation to be introduced into high school educational circles is the Home Room plan as carried out at Wilson High School. 1IUnder this system, the students meet for a short period each day in groups of from thirty to forty pupils. These sections are divided according to grade. A daily program is ar- ranged so that one day is given over to the discussion of school business. one is used for vo- cational guidance, another for clubs, and the remaining two days general assemblies are held or individual programs are presented in the Home Room. IIOfficers are elected each se- mester and a representative is chosen to attend the Student Council. Repozrs are given weekly concerning the activities of the council which are discussed and any plan suggested and ac- cepted by the Home Room is presented before the next council meeting by that section's representative. IIThe aims of the Home Room Course, as defined at the first of the year, are: to instruct pupils what and how to study, to offer a complete survey of the educational opportunities to be found in high school, to cause pupils to realize that a high school educa- tion pays in dollars and cents, in happiness, in ability to render service to the community, to give vocational guidance, and to develop the desire in each pupil to occupy a useful place in the world. QA survey of the various Home Rooms show that these aims have more than been accomplished, and according to the faculty advisers, the system has benefited the stu- dents in the following ways: A spirit of interest and comradeship has been fostered between members of the section, and a democratic spirit is promoted by having almost the entire re- sponsibility rest upon the officers and the class. lISchool routine in filing cards and making out programs is greatly hastened, interest is created in school government and an active part is taken in school affairs, vocational guidance is given and many students are enabled to choose the correct course of study to prepare them for college or to give them a solid founda- tion for the business world, and finally the school policies are clearly explained, the standard of scholarship is raised, and a general knowledge of current events and public speaking is gained. 1IIn all, the work of the Home Room has surpassed the expectations of its sponsors.
