Single copies, 7 cents, What to Teach The National Education Association has recent- , ly printed a 270-page book which may be of assistance to local school boards in determining what should be taught in a specific school system. Probably most people think that all schools in Indiana teach the same subjects. This, of course, is not true. The state of Indiana sets up certain standards, which are quite flexible. Within certain limits, local school boards, and their superintendents, can set up quite different goals. The NEA recommends that a school board first set up its objectives —a clear statement of priorities, giving direction to curriculum planning. Within each area of priority a continuing study * should be made to see if content should be added or eliminated. For example, in the past 20 years the method of teaching foreign language, and the emphasis on it, has changed considerably, for several obvious reasons. First of all, the nation’s safety depends upon >alert citizens being able to understand, speak, and write in the languages of other people. Second, every young man, and many young women, will be afforded the opportunity of. going abroad with the armed forces—as draftees, enlistees, or wives. Third, the tremendous prosperity of the country today allows increasing numbers to travel abroad in their leisure time, while improvements in transportation have added to the comforts of travel. So today, instead of Latin and Greek, many young people study living, usable foreign languages, not as an academic drill, but as a practical matter. Many adults are finding new interests in life by studying foreign language. This has necessitated a tremendous change in teaching methods. During World War II and the Korean Conflict, the U. S. armed forces devised new methods for teaching that are faster and give a better understanding of the languages taught. In the “good old days,” foreign languages were taught by endless drills of verbs, regular and irregular, conjugating them; by endless declination of nouns, inflection of adjectives, drill, drill, drill. Today, languages are taught by practice iii speaking as well as in gramatical drill. When you learn your native language, no one attempts to explain the difference between a noun and verb. You learn by doing. Thus, in teaching foreign language today idiom and speaking, with correct sounds, is stressed, with secondary emphasis on grammar. Many Hoosier schools have adopted these new ” methods, even to the point of having part of the instruction by TV. Others have not. The NEA’s point is that every school board should be familiar with the changes that are possible, and should then decide for itself whether these changes would benefit the pupils in the school system.

Elect a WORKING FJJS MAYOR CARL D. GERBER Democratic Candidate for MAYOR As candidates for the city council, city clerk-treasurer and city judge, we believe it is highly important to elect a mayor who can begin, supervise and FINISH the necessary reforms Decatur needs. In going on record in support of our candidate Carl Gerber, we believe that with our help and yours he can FINISH the job. We therefore, wholeheartedly endorse his program as follows: 1. The re-establishment of regular daily source could also provide recreational fishing, office hours by the mayor. Decatur's prob- boating or swimming uses. We believe this lems are big enough and the salary big enough can provide recreation for our children now to pay for a working tnayor. The citizens and industrial jobs for them in the future, should know when and where to talk to their r mayor. 5. Giris are people. They deserve as much o supervised recreation as our boys are now getThe street department again should pro- ting.
