Miss Gertrude Noar, prominent American Am-erican educator, conducted the conference, which began Monday, Mon-day, October 1 and continued two sessions daily, until Friday, October 5. A meeting for the general public was held Wednes day, October 3 at the Orem High School. During the conference Miss Noar pointed out that, happiness involves relationships with other oth-er human beings. It is based up on the basic emotional needs of the individual: security, success through achievement, recogni tion, and new experience and adventure. The schools have a definite responsibility to assist each child in meetng these basic needs. She added: "Every teach er must convey that feeling and thought to the child." The Importance of good em otional adjustment is shown by the fact that 50 percent of illness ill-ness in the United States is caused by emotional disturbances. disturbanc-es. The fourth most common cause of death in teen-agers Is suicide. The teachers were urg ed to look more critically at what they do and how they do itl On the matter of giving grades, the meaning of the mark was seriously questioned. Miss Noar said, "It is time to exam lne critically and seriously, what these marks are doing to children." child-ren." A good grading system is a sy stem worked out by students, teachers, and parents of a particular parti-cular school, not a system set up for all schools to work towards. Discipline was discussed. Miss Noar .noted that it is the teach er's responsibility to plan, or ganize, .direct, administer and control the classroom. She added that It was unwise to "strike a child" at any time. She described describ-ed a system of desclpllne used in Oillipsie Junior High School In Philadelphia, while she was principal of that school, which proved very satisfactory. Good discipline demands that after a discipline problem, has been discussed by the administrators, teachers and students, good rapport should be established between the teacher -and child. Miss Noar came to Alpine Dis trict to conduct the conference from the University of Utah where she had taught during the summer school sessions. She is well known as the author of The Junior High School Today and Tomorrow" and "Freedom to live and Learn". She is of ten spoken of as the "teacher of teachers."
