Queen Rosabelle was invited to attend the celebration by, Mrs. C. M.

Longfellow School h Salt Lake- Testing.Grt?tittd - , ---- - - - , , BY KENNETH AMEN Longfellow School in Salt Lake City reflects the modern trends in education, yet does not exhibit the more radical tendencies,of the Progressive School, according to Mr. J. R. Smith, principal. The school is an exfor the perimentaL institution school system and -- many practices receive their initial testing at the school. Mr. Smith holds that much in prothe modern educational gram is good, but that his school "has both feet on the ground and never fails( to accept the good from an 'older generation He believes that formulae Much of the for. schooling are sound should not be abandoned, yet he feels - there is ample space for everything new when proved.this To achieve the ends in experimental school work for is divided into eight , the year weeks phases. roughly of four all aceach. During that period tivities of all grades. are directed toward the phase. Right now the school is engaged in the study of the home. Pupils learn what they csh contribute to the home, bow homes are built, how they are supported by tradition and custom, how meals are prepared and so on. There is no detail that escapes them. They learn that good manners and politeness are essential. They learn how repairs are made. To illustrate how the new method of teaching operates, Mr. Smith cited an example of an exer gun-dperiment started last year conMiss Irene Oborn and tinued under Miss adMinnie Davis. ItrithmePupils of the fifth-grtic class decided their efforts to would be directed discovering If their room t was healthful for the This was during them. phase of work dealing with the study of health and applications to everyday living. The pupils conducted tests at every desk in their room, later extending their activities to all rooms in the - building.- - When survey, they -had completed their they- charted every room and rewere noted whether all pupils eye ceiving sufficient light forneces, health. This notation was after they had made sarily made as inquiry- at various sources to the recommended amount of light, measured in foot candles, needed for study purposes. the end of the study, a re ;.At was drawn, up and presentport ed to the principal with the recommendation that the lighting system be renovated. Principal Smith was not surprised. for - time-teste- d he had known' that the lighting system was inadequate and had been so for 25 years. He accepted the report and turned it over to the'Board of Education, who In ,turn gave it to the Build. and Grands department. Mr. Smith was advised to in. renovation of the system in his budget, which was done and today Longfellow School has a good lighting systent, primarily through efforts of the children of an arithmetic class. It is in. teresting to note that in most rooms there are now four lights, where before there was but one. , This is the type of work done i4 in ! r I; Longfellow and illustrates how i! just one class of one grade used the opportunity afforded them. '1 Meanwhile they learned square measure, graphing adn mathematical functions while engaged in'their study. 2 Girl Of The Week - - 1 ti - WHOAnna May Coldizen, 9. Anna May's parents were out.
