After these presentations. Charles Meyer, superintend ent, gave a more comprehen sive view of the curriculum change, which coordinated ideas of the preceding s i x teachers, showing the total district policy. He discussed trends in cur riculum, which included the use of teaching teams, closed circuit television, readers for bngllsh teachers, and a more flexible program replacing prescribed semester courses. He pointed out that these ideas are in the experimental stage and should be watched closely, evaluated critically, and adopted by District 6 onlv if and when they prove prac tical. Mr. Meyer stated that the concern is moving back to quality in education, rather than quantity. This will lessen the emphasis on an extreme variety of offerings and switch it to the evaluation of teach ing methods and teacher loads, Ho emphasized throughout his presentation the fact that cur riculum must always remain a "study" and be open to cnange whenever needed.
