THE JOURNAL, LOGAN CITY, CACHE COUNTY, UTAH PAGE SIX EXCERPTS SUPERINTENDENT FROM RYANS ANNUAL-REPO- RT TO THE logan crry board of education Programs, Plans and Curricula During the past year a majority of the Logan city teachers voluntarily organized themselves into a class for the purout pose of effectively working a Logan plan' of r education. Twenty eight meetings were held during the year. These meetings were held on Wednesday evenings and were of one hour and thirty minutes duration. It is gratifying to report that the work of this group was of such standard and quality that the U. A. C. accepted it as regular college work and 42 of our teachers were given college credit in curriculum for the work they did. But the most valuable part of this work to the Logan . ctiy "schools was the working out of courses of study for the various departments and grades of our LschoolsJbasedupoBth-- fr ing fundamental principles: THE LOGAN CHILD CENTERED PLAN OF' EDUCATION.

" r The, most valid measure; of success for a 'school Subject today is its force or influence in .'conthe control of every-da- y duct. Results in teaching may best be judged by their practical application in actual , and immediate living. , , All subjects should grow out of the present daily needs, interests, and activities of the - children, . The approach should always, be through some defi-' nite, present interest. , Continuity must be preserved without resorting to lifeless repetition. This may be if the plan can be made to center around , some one of life's great activities each year for a period of years. -- For example. -- ' ' , Crops, 1st year jrrowing things. 2nd year Mechanics, making 4hmgs. 3rd year Animals, - ; Jiving ' .things. - 4th year Soil, home and community. Two Extremes Are To Be Avoided We realize that in attempting to formulate such plan two extremes are to.be avoided.1 If the attempt be made to furnish a concrete outline of definite , subject matter, the : wrork 'be- - comes inflexible, , conventional, and limited, necessitating the adjustment of a living' child and his needs and interests to a lifeless outline.; On the other hand if the plan be presented from the . standpoint of theory and vision alone, it becomes an indefinite, . intangible thing which is likely to lead to chaos. If a safe middle ground be held the principles upon which this plan is founded are fixed, sane and constant and all of the educational activities of the children will be the natural outgrowth of the needs, conditions, interests, and activities of the particular group or individ- ual Health Health is to be taught continuously throughout the school life of the child. Such instruction can best be , given, not through a special course - in health or hygiene, but by tak- Ing advantage of the natural reasonable application of any health fact or principle which may arise from any life silua- -- TH- DEFEND INVESTIGATE TO AMERICANS TO E- -- DAVISCUP J. w MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 30. Appointment of, a special committee to cooperate with a similar committee 'of the National Association of Credia Men to endeavor to suggest w ays and means . of, removing alleged abuses in practice in bankruptcy cases, was recommended to the American Bar Association today by the committee on professional ethics and grievances, of which Thomas Francis Howe is chairman. committee reported on its meeting with a committee of the credit men, following publication of a bulletin by the credit men entitled The Profession of Law Needs Housecleaning. The bulletin criticised lawyers for supposed inactivity in endeavorpracing to tices in bankruptcy cases. Local conditions werf .found to vary, and cooperation of local bar associations with local credit associations was ,urged.

Conditions demand continuation and extension of service on behalf of better citizenship in the United States, R. E. L. Saner, of Dallas told the American Bar Association today in giving the report of the associations committee on American Citizenship. Mr. Saner said : It is stated on competent authority that there hre 1,500,-0- 0 radicals im this countrywho are clamoring for a change in the nature of our government from its present form to one of various degrees of communistic state. It is said there are 40(1 newspapers and periodicals that represent similar views, and that are read regularly by people. It is also said that $3,000,000 was spent during the past- year in ' behalf of Red propaganda. We submit that the time has come w hen members of the Bar should bestir themselves in a unified effort to meet this challenge. SUch unified activity has, as a matter of fact, been already tqo long delayed. Thinking men see at the present time the issue being Very clearly draw n In our country between stability and radicalism; between the forces of real progress and retrogression ; between government under a written constitution as established by our fathers and a government by the mob or if you please, the proletariat; and the conservative influence of the American Bar is - sorely needed and should by all means be exercised to its fullest extent in meeting this issue. -- -The home-swashi- ng, prevent-fraadule- ' ! nt - 1 - nt 3-- 3-- , 77 Ye&r-lCr- ops tions 5-- 3-3-- 4-5-5-- 4-- j self-satisfie- d. im-port- neigh-borho- partm od s ? .
