10 A WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 10. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Dennis the Menace THE SORT CARPENTER WANTS TO KNOW IF VOUR WIF5 SENT FRIED CHICKEN AGAIN? Final Enrollment Figures Reported Eugene-(UPI) - Final enroll ment ligures at Oregon's nine state - supported schools of higher educational totaled 31, 812, the Board of Higher Edu cation said Tuesday This represented an in crease of 10.2 per cent over Dr. Robert Smith Joins Staff at State University Corvallis The scientist who sparked the development of Mctrecal, a weight control ubstance, has joined the Ore gon State university staff in the department of food sci ence and technology. The new objective of Dr. Robert h. Smith Is to make OSU and Oregon "the center of the search for the free en terprise solution to the world food problems." Smith accepted a position on the OSU staff because he had decided It was "time to retire" from his job as new product director for Mead Johnson and company and to spend the rest of his life try ing out ideas for new loud products and developments. He was drawn to Oregon, he said, because of Its di versified food production and processing resources; Its lo cation on the ocean, which represents food potential in cluding so-called "trash" fish; and the forest industry, with Its energy-rich liquid wastes and perhaps the wood wastes themselves if given the right "touch." Smith is an "idea man" with ambitions to develop ideas Into commercial use, Dr. Harold W. Schultz, head of the department of food sci ence and technology, pointed out. Some of Smith's ideas hold promise for development and for benefits to the state, na tion, and the world, he added Smith envisions a "complex of food speciality companies" located in Corvallis and the slate that would work on new products. He is Investigating marketing and management possibilities for launching his ideas. Mctrecal is an example of what an idea and work will do. Smith said. He made the initial formulations and man ufacturing and marketing evaluations that produced Mctrecal with $70,000,000 sales in one year. A related product that Smith helped develop is find ing wide use by athletic teams.

Central Phone 773-9159 Changes in Teaching Process In Transitional Stage in Area By EARL H. ADAMS Mail Tribune City Editor (Sixth in a Series) As the curricula in ele mentary and secondary schools change, so must the method of instruction and presentation of subject matter. Such changes have been made in valley schools dur ing the past few years, and as the educational program changes, more changes will necessarily follow. E. R. James, superinten dent of Phoenix schools, said he believed "changes in the teaching process are in a transitional stage now." Among changes in the teaching process in this area are the addition in some high schools of a reader aide program, and increased and expanded use of visual aids, both from the county curriculum ma terials center and by indi vidual districts. Bender Aide Program. The reader aide program has been especially help ful in English composition programs jn valley high schools. Tlie program pro vides an opportunity for the regular instructional staff to expand the compo sition program for English students since composition work is read and Judged by a select group of lay per sons. The increased composi tion work has been received favorably by Medford High students who have contin ued to college. They have reported to school officials that they feel better pre pared to cope with much of the classwork at col lege. Another change in the teaching process is the ad dition of language labora tories in many of the high schools and some of the junior high schools. These laboratories have proved their value because of the increased importance of the spoken language. In the labs, students may hear themselves speak the lang uage and receive individual instruction on the accepted pronunciation as well as listening to recordings from language authorities. Increased Offerings Along with the addition of language laboratories has been an increased num ber of offerings in foreign languages. More courses are offered in a particular language - in some cases four years of onc-and more foreign languages have been added to the curricula. More visiual aid equip ment is being used more ex tensively, not only on the high school level, but also in the elementary and Jun ior highs. This equipment includes tape recordings, sound motion picture pro jectors, slide projectors, and many other items. Elliott Dcckcn, assistant superintendent of Medford public schools, said one in teresting utilization of vis ual aid equipment is use of an overhead projector in mathematics classes. The instructor has been able to utilize "this device in holding the attention and interest while developing a topic or problem in ways that students found particu larly helpful," he noted. Provides Funds The National Defense Ed ucation Act provides funds for school districts in the fields of mathematics, sci ence and foreign languages. These funds have helped Co-Chairmen of James Campaign Are Listed George Loflin, chairman for Ralph A. James for County Judge, has announced that Elga Abbott and Ben Fulton will act as co-chairmen for the Butte Falls district. C. W. Timmons and W. H. Lewis will serve as co-chairmen in the Ashland district. Wilbur Martin will be one of the co-chairmen for Gold Hill. Scott Hamilton and Harry Musson are co-chairmen In the Central Point district. many Jackson county dis tricts provide additional vis ual aid equipment for these subject areas. A major outlet for vis ual aid equipment to all Jackson county districts is the county curriculum ma terials center in the court house. The center, which developed extensively dur ing the past few years un der the leadership of Jim McDonald, who is now in Eugene, provides visual aids to districts which oth erwise could not economi cally afford to purchase them. Along with the increased use of visual . aids, and changes in the teaching process, is the increased use of school facilities by students during off-school hours. This is most notable, perhaps, in science, a sub ject in which individual research is being more en couraged. Opportunities Provided Ashland, P h o e n I x and Medford High schools pro vide opportunities for sci ence students to use labora tories in the evenings or Saturdays, and Medford has established a Saturday morning chemistry project program. "This has enabled stu dents with definite interest in chemistry to come in on Saturday mornings for three hours and to work on special projects with the assistance of a well-qualified instructor. The students have been able to work in tensively in certain areas in which they have a defi nite interest," Becken point ed out. James noted that more "science equipment is being used than ever before. This is encouraged, and should be expanded." Some schools have organ ized other Saturday classes, generally on a volunteer basis for the student, and in many districts summers are utilized by offering en richment classes. Such en richment classes might in clude creative writing, pub lic speaking, speed writing and similar courses. Perhaps the most impor tant offering a student may have is the use of the school library, whether elemen tary, junior high or senior high. Libraries in many dis tricts have expanded con siderably during the past few years. Dr. Leonard B. Mayfield, superintendent of Medford public schools, believes the school, and it is around center of activity in the school, and if it is around this , philosophy that the Medford school library pro gram has been developed. Changes in the teaching process and in expansion of visual aid use have been made a few at a time since about 1958, but the effect they have on students is noticeable. Students Learning More Dr. Mayfield told Med ford district teachers earli er this school year that "students in every grade are learning far more to day than at any time in the past. . . . Today we are not teaching students what lo think but rather how to think. "Never before in the his tory of civilization has so much change taken place in such a short time," Dr. Mayfield said. . "New concepts of teach ing, learning, space explora tion, new technology and their uses have changed us from the strictly subject oriented group-centered type of instruction which typified so. many school rooms of yesterday. Today we arc on the threshold of a ' new kind of world in comparison to that we have known," he said. Watch for the Grand Opening of the BRAVE BULL You are invited to the . . .
