LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY.INDIANA. MONDAY APRIL 4, 1921

! é MANY IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE IN CURRICULUM AND EQUIPMENT DURING PAST YEAR . » Students Now Participate And Co- - operate With Teachers In Advanc——ing Welfare of the Scholastic ' Body '

The entire faculty of the Ligonier schools has been retained for another yvear. This will be gratifying news to that portion Ol_f?/t_he 0“_:-:0_ ‘ _‘_‘é‘,lq'.v?;:!_,.e,:‘_t ment for the past term and who understand the many progressive features which have been incorporated into the school work. Among the changes that have been made the most noteworthy are the following: -

. Supervised study has been introducde into the high school. Under this system the periods are sixty minutes in length instead of forty minutes as formerly. - One half of the period is devoted to recitation and the other half to the study of the next day’s lesson under the direction of the feacher The new plan produces far better results than the old. The pupils do more actual study_and the study is more concerntrated. The teacher is also at hand to explain any difficulties Wwhich may arise in the student’s mind. Supervised play has been instituted in the grades, from the first to the sixth inclusive. Under this system, only one grade is ‘on the playground at. a time, the teacher being in charge of play the same as recitation. The advantages of this plan are that it abo'—i lishes the use of bad language aud“ unruly actions on the grounds and reduces accidents to a minimum. It teaches children how to get along to gether in the open without quarreling or fighting or acting boisterously toward each other. It introduces new games and enables the teacher to turn the childish activity into healthful channels. It also curbs the spirit of vandalism, prevnts the destruction of play apparatus and prohibits any one child from monopolizing a favorite apparatus or indulging in excessive play along one line. - Another feature is the departmental organization of the school work in the seventh and eighth grades. Under this system each teacher has particular subjects instead of the entire range. . o '

Courses in physical training' and public 'speaking have been introduced into both the high school and the grades. - = ;

The commercial course has been enriched until it covers four years of work and now includes all the work of a busines college. Each pupil is required to have 180 hours of practical office experience in the superfhtendent’s office, which. amounts to one hour a day throughont the entire year. The students take dictation answer the telephone, attend to the filing-and typewriting meet visitors and perform in general such duties.as fal\l to the ordinary office man or woman.

A clinic and rest room has been fitted out in the school. The room contains a couch, easy chair, scales for measuring and weighing, apparatus, for testing the eyesight and hearing and a first-aid cabinet. The idea is that a child shall, upon emergency, receive first aid and care until a doctor shall arrive. il

- The stage in theé auditorium Hhas ‘been repaired and new scenery and equipment added. : ; - Work in the vocational department bés bEen enlarged and facilities added ‘in ' manuel training work. Students are now given practical work in mechanical afid, architectural drawing comprising two years of work, aund they receive manuaktraing of a practical nature such as making furniture, buffets, sewing .tables etc., instead of the fancy brackets and other generally useless novelties upon which the time of students in less progressive schools is so often frittered away. : #

* .The sewing work now includes a year of dressmaking and to have completed the work a girl must make one entire outfit and wear it.. This department has also received added equipment, sewing machines, ete. ° The school orchestira, composed sole'ly of students, now comprises ten instruments, and is entitled to full credit for dts share in contributing to the success of the school entertainments Pwherein it has participated. o

- Lastly may be mentioned the faculty student council which has been organizeq and which consists of the staff and two delegates from each class. This council discusses, ascertains. sentiment and finally passes upon an matters pretaing to -the weltare of the student body. e

-~ Ctautaunqua “Fariners Day” 1 One of the features of the Ligonier chautauqua. will be a “Farmers Day.” The federations of Noble, Elkhart and LaGrange counties expect to make this day a big event for the farmers. . Fredercik Kessie native of Switzer--land died at his home near Columbia e e

Conferences of all county: school superintendents in the state with directors of various activities of the state department of education is planned hy L. N. Hines, superintendent of pubblic instriction.

Many school problems in the opinion of Supt. Himes should be considered at a general meeting of thé ecounty superintendents, but no such conferences have been held in the past be'cause of the fact that county superintendents a majority of whom received about $1,500 a year would have to pay their own expenses. ‘Under a new law-passed by the last legislature the.superinentendents may receive $76 a month, with a maximum limit-of $3OO a yearr, for official travel. Formerly they might receive some expense money in connection with duties in their own county, but the new law contained no, such limitation. - With the view of calling the state conferences, Supt. Hines has obtained an opinion from Attorney General Lesh to the effect that the expenses of the county school heads may be paid by the counties under the authority of the new law, and plans for the state-wide conference aré now under consideration. -, |
