Portland, Ore - IUP1) - When
the 2,250 students who attend
Marshall High school here re
sume classes next fall, they
will become part of an "exper
iment" in secondary educa
tion. - ,
Gone will be the static 55
minute periods, dry lectures,
day to day scheduling and,
perhaps most important to
the students, the constant
supervision. .
At the base of the year
long pilot program are two
tried methods: flexible sched
uling and team teaching. Both
have been tried only in lim
ited areas of curricula and on
a limited scale, nowever.
But Marshall's program,
like that of four other schools
around the country, will in
volve all students, all the
teachers. It is the largest of
five schools in the experiment
to inaugurate what is called
"modular flexible schedul
ing," and the one educators
will be watching.
This is the big revolution,"
said Dr. Gaynor Petrequin,
principal.
Under the present system,
there are five 55 . minute per
iods with a sixth period for
study, all closely supervised.
Under the new plan,, a stu
dent will register each morn
ing and then go to his first
period, but instead of 55 min
utes, it might be 20 minutes,
or 40, 60, or 80. It will be
a "module" or a series of mod
ules - 20-minute time periods.
Few classes will be shorter
than 40 minutes.
In an instance in which
one module is used, it will in
clude 16 minutes for work
and four-minutes to go to the
next part of the day's pro
gram. One - modoule classes
will be used almost without
exception for Individual proj
ects. Dr. . Petrequin said that

accidents lor tne 43 million
young Americans headed back
to classrooms.
The National Safety coun
cil reports that accidents
cause more deaths among
children 1 to 14 than the
five nthpr leadina causes of
death combined. In 1062, 4,-
322 children in tne 1-14 age
Broun died in traffic accidents
across the nation.
Among high school and
college students, more than
half of the accidental deaths
are due to mishaps.
What can the average driv
er1 do to halt the resumption
ot the slaughter on the roads?
The safety council recom
mends a three-point program.
-Be ready ior me unex

yard or near a street. Base
balls, basketballs, and 1001
balls take strange bounces,
and make children forget
about oncoming traffic.

greater margin for safety in

becomes much harder to stop
quickly.

In addition to its campaign
for the prevention of deaths
in traffic accidents, the coun
cil has urged better fire pro
tection in schools, more school
bus control and safety, and
continued expansion of driver
education courses in the high
schools.
The council urges' all
school districts to install, au
tomatic sprinkler systems as
well as fire extinguishers and
firm alarms. As the result of
an extensive testing program
the council found that no fire
alarm system was universally
satisfactory.
Nearly 43 million children
will use school buses daily
this year. School officials
stress that the students' safe
ty depends much on the be
havior of passengers. Pupils
should board buses without
delay, but without crowding
or pushing. They should be
urged to follow the driver's
directions promptly and will
ingly. Old Swedish Firm
Enters U. 5. Market
New York - (UPD - Bofors, a
name known to many Ameri
cans in connection with its
anti-aircraft guns, announced
that its NOHAB subsidiary has
entered the U. S. market for
the first time with an award
of a $3.2 million order by the
city of Seattle for four water
turbines.
- The 330-year-old firm, nnre
owned by Dr. Alfred Nobel,
now is one of Sweden's most
diversified firms. Once known
primarily for its ordnance
products, Bofors and its sub
sidiaries manufacture a wide
range of products from steel
to plastic tubes and chemicals,
including drugs and pharma
ceutical preparations .
Wraps To Fit
9490 If It
project hit upon the 20 min
ute time period for maximum
flexibility after studying per
iods of 15 and 30 minutes.
The student, then, might be
gin his day with that one
module of individual work,
or two modules of history, or
three for chemistry.
What it will mean In actual
practice to the student is a
half hour more of school day,
60 minutes more each week to
pursue projects the student
"wants to follow, more se
lectivity in choosing elective
subjects and more individual
determination in his own edu
But most important to the
student: He will be consider
ed an adult and capable of
this academic responsibility.
"It's a bit of a chance," Dr.
Petrequin said.
"Students are still super
vised as thoroughly as they
were in the first grade," he
said. He believes this is
wrong.
Regimented restriction does
not ideally prepare students
for college where they will
have to work, act and think
independently, he noted.
Under the projected pro
gram, students will gather
in small discussion groups
pursuing studies with fellow
students of similar interest
and aptitude. Dr. Petrequin
calls the small - discussion
group the "heart of the pro
gram.'' . :
The other main components
are the lecture and laboratory
group. '
Record Labs '
"Resource centers" In
which small groups will work
include work rooms, libraries,
film and record labs.
Lectures, under maximum
flexible scheduling, can be
given to 90 students at one
time,' instead of to groups of
30 students three times. Films
can be similarly scheduled.
Flexible scheduling on a
large scale is a project of
such complexity it cannot be
done manually. Stanford Uni
versity developed the compu
ter program that will place
the students - and the teach
ers - In the most advantageous
niches.
Stanford spent three years
developing the program, and
when it came as close to an
answer as it could without
a live experiment, it invited
five high schools in different
regions to participate.
Best Teachers
The flexible scheduling
theory includes using the best
of teachers. In terms of every
day work, this could mean
that a teacher with a talent
for organization, but also a
talent for putting students to
sleep in classes, will be used
for curricula planning.
A teacher with a dynamic
presentation will lecture.
Also, at the teacher level
of the program, more non
professional workers will be
used, and it is hoped that ulti
mately fewer teachers will be
needed to accomplish the
same, or more effective re
sults. The professional instructor
will spend his time in the
strictly professional task of
teaching and counseling and
"para - professionals" and
clerical workers will do the
other tasks.
Dr. Petrequin, and his fel
low educators, hope - and ,
expect - Marshall High school
to lay the blueprint for future
educational programs, a new
direction in teaching.
The aim: finding new, and
more certain paths, to that
wonderful and hungry con
sumer of truth - the young
mind. .
