Schools Looking For Belter Ways
To Make Use Of Teachers' Talent
By DAVID NYDICK
UPI Education Specialist
Many schools are experimenting
with various methods of orgamz-
ing instruction. They are looking
(or ways to make better use of
teacher talent and permit more
individualized Instruction.
Although you a a parent .may
not be directly Involved in the
Dlannine of your school s organiZ'
ation, you should understand some
of the more popular plans with
which educators are experiment'
ine. There is a great deal of lit
erature available on these sub
jects. I .
The dual progress plan, for in
stance, Is a new demonstration in
school organization.
The basic plan begins with the
third grade. An individual student
spends hall of the school day witn
one teacher in a core area. He is
taught social studies, language
arts, reading, and physical educa
tion. This area is arranged 1 aC'
cording to normal grade level
standards.
The other half of the school day
is departmentalized (divided into
scheduled periods). The student is.
taught math, science, music and
art. If the school includes 'other
subjects such as a foreign ' lan
guage shop, etc., they are placed
in this area. These departmental
ized groups are not arranged by
grade level, but according to ami
ity. Each class may include stu
dents from several grades.
The effect of this plan is to al
low teachers to specialize in sub
jects of their greatest interest and
talent. Students should receive in
struction better suited to their
needs.

eration. Naturally, many varia
tions exist, but the fundamental
organization remains. A team con
sists of several (approximately 4
S) teachers with different talents
and interests. One highly exper
ienced master teacher is appoint
ed as team leader. The other
members of the team are usually
teachers with less experience, a
student teacher, and possibly a
team secretary. The team plans
the total program for a group of
students (about 25 per teacher).
This type of organization allows
a great deal of flexibility. When
advantageous, one teacher may
lecture or demonstrate to the en
tire group which could number
100 or more. At other times, small
groups are formed for the pur
pose of individualized instruction
or discussion. This plan calls for
a different type of school build
ing although it has been intro
duced in existing structures. There
is a need for large and small
rooms possibly with movable
walls.
These proposed plans are in cqn
trast to the usual school program
with which you are probably fam
iliar. In the elementary school,
we now have the self-contained
classroom where one teacher is
responsible for the total program
of a single class. She generally
has the help of some specialists.
In the secondary school we -are
accustomed to toal departmental
ization. Each course is taught by
a specialist teacher during a rig
idly scheduled period.
Tigard Voters Reject
Budget, Pass On Bond
TIGARD (UPI) Tigard voters
turned down a city budget for
the third time Friday, this time
by a vote of 177 to 172.
While they were defeating a
budger of $12,600 to run the recently-incorporated
city, the voters
gave overwhelming approval to a
$305,000 bond issue to expand fa
cilities of the Tigard Water Dis
trict. That vote was 315 to 103.
Mayor Elton Phillips said state
law prohibits any further budget
elections this year. He said money
from the sewer operating fund
and franchise revenues probably
will be diverted into the city's
general fund.

Legislative Committee
Calls For Television
Council On Education
SALEM (UPI) Voting unani
mously, the Legislative Fiscal
Committee late Friday ordered its
staff to draw up a bill for crea
tion of an Oregon television coun
cil to coordinate operations of
(ETV).
The idea is to get elementary.
secondary and higher education
into step as the use of ETC de
velops. Among other things, the pro
posed council would set policies
for allocation of time on educa
tional television stations. The
council would have members rep
resenting all levels of education,
plus the public, appointed by the
governor.
The committee also called for
drafting of a bill to more clearly
spell out liaison between the Mate
Education Department and State
System of Higher Education in
paying for ETV.
Kenneth Bragg, legislative fis
cal officer, said there has been
some "confusion" in the past over
this between the two agencies.

Has Bob Kennedy Violated A U. S. Law
By Bringing A Labrador Dog To Work?
WASHINGTON (UPI) Has
Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy
violated a federal regulation by
bringing his dog to work with
him?
No one has called the nation's
chief law enforcement official on
it yet. He appears to be in little

that could be imposed for break

Moose Lodge Is Dedicated
To Civic, Fraternal Work
The Loyal Order of Moose,
which held its state convention in
Roseburg last weekend, is an order
devoted to civic affairs, as well as
being a fraternity.
It began in 1888 In Louisville,
Ky., for no more reason than that
Dr. John Henry Wilson, a 52-year-old
physician wanted to organize
a group of his friends into a fra
ternal order.
Fraternity Prospers
For a while the fraternity pros
pered and member lodges in ad
joining state:! of Illinois and Indi
ana were established. But this
young fraternity did not have the
leadership which would have add
ed the necessary "know how" to
make it prosper. The Order began
to fade until, in 1906, there were
only two lodges with a total mem
bership of 246.
Then James J. Davis, an iron
puddler from the blast furnaces
of Pennsylvania and Indiana, was
introduced to the fraternity. He
immediately tried adding some
thing that would be an incentive
for the working man to join.
He conceived the idea of Moose
heart, a "Child City" where the
sons and - daughters of deceased
members might be cared for, edu
cated and trained for a vocation.
Idea Catchos Firo,
His ideas caught fire and soon
member lodges were springing all
over the natioiii Membership grew
apace until in 1913 Mooseheart's
cornerstone waa laid.
Mooseheart on that day was not
the model "City of Children" with
more than 100 buildings that one
sees today. Mooseheart on that day

Brumus is no ordinary dog. At
the age of 14 months he is al
most as big as a pony and not
nearly as graceful.
Cats Lonely At Home
"He usually stays at home with
the children," the attorney gen
eral recently explained to visit
ors. "But the children are away
on vacation and he gets very
lonely. So I bring him down here
and get pretty girls to take him
for walks."
was a circus tent pitched in a field.
Only nine years later, when
Mooseheart had developed from a
farm into a modern and growing
community, the Moose founded its
home for the aged, Moosehaven,
on the banks of the Si. John's Riv
er at Orange Park, 14 miles south
of Jacksonville, Fla. The Moose
haven property covers about 200
acres, including an 80-acre farm.
Contentment Noted
Because Moosehaven makes ev
ery effort to provide security, com
fort and happiness it has become
known as the "City of Content
ment." ...
In recent years, the Moose has
launched a nation-wide civic af
fairs program. Special emphasis
has been placed on youth activi
ties in providing broad and whole
some avenues of recreation for
citizens of the future. .
New Highway Engineer
Named For F. S. Region
PORTLAND (UPI) Donald D.
Loff will assume a new post as
highway engineer in the U. S.

He will serve as an assistant
to the head of the transportation
system development branch.
Loff has been a civil enginner
for the Siuslaw National Forest

by Stanley A. Thorn, now a civil

Thorn is a 1949 graduate of Ore

Government building regula
tions issued by the General Serv-.
ice Administration have this to
say on the subject: ;
"Dogs and other animals, ex
cept for seeing eye dogs, shall
not be brought upon (govern
ment) property for other than of
ficial purposes."
Anyone found guilty faces a
maximum penalty of $50 fine and
30 days in jail.
Brumus, whose shambling gait
and mournful appearance invari-'
ably bring surprised smiles from
Kennedy's callers, is considered
well-behaved most of the
time. '
Indonesian Foreign Minister Su
bandrio seemed highly amused at
the black dog's antics during a
picture-taking session' with Ken
nedy. An aide finally led Brumus
out of camera range.
Brumus was the animal star of
a film made in Kennedy's office
by the U.S. Information Agency
during a question-and-answer ses
sion with students from Brazil.
Viiitors Delighted
The South American visitors
seemed delighted when the attor
ney general solemnly poured his
pet a drink of water from a silver
pitcher into an ash tray.
Kennedy's aides have jokingly,
suggested that Brumus might
qualify as a goodwill envoy, a.
bodyguard or watchdog to meet
the GSA test of being on official
duty.
This, at least, seemed to bar
any long Justice Department vis

by the seven Kennedy children.

other dogs, ponies, horses, geese;

pigeons, 20 goldfish, rabbits, tur
