CHANGE URGED IN INSTRUCTION OF CHEMISTRY Present-Day Methods of Teaching Wrong, Parker Says. Timet Special m KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 14. Present day methods of chemistry teaching in high schools were criticised today by Druley Parker, Shortridge High School chemistry teacher, Indianapolis, before a meeting of the chemical education division of the American Chemical Society, Stating that too much emphasis has been placed on merely teaching the student facts already learned, and that stress should be put on teaching a technique whereby the student will learn how to obtain facts, Mr. Parker said, “If we restrict our objectives in high school chemistry teaching just to memorization, then I think that we had better admit that the subject is not worth teaching.” “Perhaps the only excuse for the subject of chemistry in high school is that by means of it we hope to teach the students to solve problems. What we would like to do with students is to make them critical of facts, how to collect them and how to use them in solving a problem, and for them to be conscious of the utility of this technique in *heir daily lives.” “We should justify chemistry on the basis of practical utility,” he concluded.
