Educational Forum Contributed articles from county school leaders telling the pur poses of education. Why the Changes in Our School Curriculums? What shall we teach which will make every child self supporting, leisure utilizing and democracy loving whether he is rich or poor, bright or dull? Every child needs the basic three "r's," reading, writing and arithme tic. In addition they need a great deal more if they are to make satis factory adjustments to an increas ingly complex world around them. A number of basic skills, know ledge, attitudes and appreciations seem to be absolute necessities in our life today. The parents and the educators must of necessity be in tensely interested in what these es sential attitudes, apprecia t i o n s, knowledges, skills and attitudes are as well as how they can best be taught if each individual child is to get the most from his schooling. A great deal of research and study both on the part of educators and interested laymen has and is re sulting in many changes from the traditional school as experienced by the average parent when he was in school. On the average we find that about 80 percent of our high school grad uates 'do not go on to higher insti tutions of learning. This points out the need of recognizing the high school as the terminal point in their formal schooling. Noticeable results are indicated by the swing of em phasis away from the traditional college preparatory courses for a large percentage of students toward preparation for living now. Traditional subject matter fields are being reexamined in the light of present day nees and dead wood" is being eliminated. Some entirely new courses are being add ed and some older courses are be ing eliminated. However, the tran sition must be slow and careful if we are to retain all of the good of the old curriculum and graually add the new materials that are proved to be essential. We must all, parents, teachers and pupils willingly and conscien tiously accept the newer courses in order that we keep our schools ab reast of the changes necessary to meet the problems of individual dif ferences and a changing economic set-up. It seems to be the educators job to explain why these changes must take place so that we can all understand and appreciate them. As life becomes more complex the part played by education must be come more and more important if the youth is to be prepared to take his place in the world. Read G. T. Want Ads.
