Klrkham, Mate director of education, to the plan 'adopted by Jordan district school subject to approval by the state board of education. As an Illustration, ol ttbe practical nature of these plans, and .in the expectation that it may possibly serve In the way of suggestion to other school districts, which ere, however, asked to work out the plan best suited to their Individual needs, the Jordan plan is herewith printed in full: , s, Supervisors Meet. The supervisors met at the superintendent's office each morning so that he was in constant touch with the individual problems of the supervisors. Auto transportation was furnished by the board for the eight supervisors employed; 1217 pupils were enrolled of whom 1174 did sat- isfactory work. Five visits were made to practically all pupils in the valley districts and six visits were mads to some, being a total of 4711 visits. Farents came to appreciate this work to a marked degree, especially after the first few visits, which convinced them that the school wanted to cooperate with the home and glorify home life and work. Instead of the school being and a thing apart from the home, the school came to recognise the value of horns end really made parents superthe visors of their children for the school projects that were done at home. Parents were glad to sea tha teacher of their children, to solicit' their help, to ask of ' them favors to benefit their children. This relationship supported the Influence of both parent and teacher with the children, especially in obtaining a willing spirit and cheerful attitude In home duties assigned. The visiting teachers also kept In touch with employment needs and wers able to find employment for many students In different part of the county. "Plan Given. j third of the district one eaet of Jordan river, one west, of Jordan river and the third, Bingham Canyon. These three persona were chief supervisors in charge of transportation and were held responsible for visits to be. made and records to be kept. They also directed the visits of the other four or five with a view to coordinate thesupervisors Work of supervision so that no part of the district was missed and the needs of each community met. Thus there were provided three constants and four variables. The numof ber variables for a visit to any ona community depended upon the sise ol the community to be visited that day. The constant supervisor always furnished the record of previous visits to the other supervisors who by this method had constantly available ths reports of previous visits and special problems to be met.
