v JURE MOVIE REEL IS MADE BY PUPILS Interest at School 84 Is Combined With Illustration Work. Movies are more than a passing attraction for pupils of School No 84, Fifty-seventh street and Central avenue, who are making a miniature moton picture reel. Interest in movies has been combined with illustration work in the lower grade art classes. A large wooden box. two poles and a roll of brown paper serve as the "theater.” Instead of actually taking the pictures. the pupils draw the pictures. Studies of reading, printing and English also are brought into play, for pupils write descriptions' and display these with the pictures. Pupils in the nature study classes at the school also have found interesting ways of taking the drudgery out of study. These classes conduct experiments with their nature work, which arouse much interest. For example, pupils use house plants found at home to learn how plants breathe, drink and get their food.

Girls Take Second, Third Prizes in Essay Book , Event. My Favorite Book and Why “THE BOY’S BEN-HUR” By Lew Wallace Ben-Hur, the hero of this story, was a loyal young Jew of noble birth, who lived at the time of Christ, when Israel was oppressed by Rome. A haughty Roman, Messala, broke up Hur’s family, sent Hur to the galleys, and his mother and sister to prison. After toiling at the galleys for three long years, Hur saved the life of his master and was liberated. His motive in life was revenge on Rome and Messala. Chief Uderim, an Arab sheik, with four wonderful horses, enlisted Hur to drive them in a chariot race in which Messala w r as entered. Ilderim and Hur’s friends’ wagered large sums on Ben-Hur. Six men entered the race. Immediately Hur and Messala took the lead, racing side by side. Soon Messala forged ahead. At the last curve, Hur loosed the reins, urged his horses forward, and passing Messala, caught the end of his axle in Messala’s wheel and dashed the * Roman’s chariot to pieces, winning the race. After long search, Hur found his mother and sister, now lepers. Joy was restored when Christ healed them. I like this book because it is an interesting, exciting, sad, yet joyous, beautiful story. It shows love, hatred, revenge, and reward.

TEST EDUCATIONAL AGE OF CHILDREN Industrious Pupils Arc Shown to Exceed Chronology Average. ’ Tests to determine the educational age of pupils were given recently at school No. 80, Bellefontaine and Sixty-second streets, to all pupils above the first grade. The new Stanford achievement test forms were used in ten divisions covering questions on every subject in the curriculum. Results show that generally the industrious pupils have educational ages above their chronological ages. School officials claim the tests are fair criteria of a child’s achievement. Interesting results are to be found in the papers of some pupils. For instance, one boy 13 years of age and in the eighth grade indicated an educational age of 16 years and 8 months. The tests were given for purpose of pointing out weak spots in the child’s educational program, with aim of correcting faults.

TEACHERS WILL SHARE FORMING OF CURRICULUM Miller Prepares Program to Make Schedule Co* Operative. A program by which every teacher. supervisor and administrator of the Indianapolis schools will have part in arranging a proper curriculum for pupils is being prepared under direction of Charles F. Miller. city schools’ superintendent. Explaining the importance of committees to study this problem, C. C. Underwood, elementary education director said: “The teacher’s time must not be used In dealing with misplaced materials. If 5 per cent of teachers’ time is spent unwisely, this means a waste of $215,000 annually to taxpayers of Indianapolis.” To Meet All Conditions “One of the greatest wastes in education today comes from having pupils who differ widely in mental capacity studying the same type of materials in the same class,” he said. The purpose of the new program is to build a curriculum to care f‘.r all varying conditions and to classify each pupil so that he may be adjusted to the materials given him to study. Since the classroom teacher is the one who must apply the materials of the curricular program, she is to bo given a prominent part in working it out here.

Committee Named Various committees are to be appointed. only one of which is announced at this time. This is the reading committee, comprised of the following members: Miss Belle Loekridge, School No. 70; Mrs. Emma Goebel, School No. 33; Miss Jessie Russel, School No. 67; Miss Lillian Hazzard, School No. 84; Miss Helen F.
