Maybe New Teaching Ways
Have Some Merit After All
By WALLACE MYEKS
I'm readv to take sides in the
battle of new school teaching meth-
I ods versus the old. I'm qualified
for an opinion; I'm a product of
the old and my six-year-old daugh
ter Li being subjected to the mod
ern methods.
If Susan's experiences in her
first semester of school are typical
of the new methods I'm altogether
on the side of the moderns.
I had to be shown. For the first
few weeks after Susan started
school I was pretty disgusted with
her progress. It seemed she was
doing nothing but coloring little
mimeographed pictures and play
ing. Now I know her teachers had a
method in their apparent madness.
Soon those little colored pictures,
of plants, animals and various ar
ticles were to be the means of
teaching Susan a lot of useful things
. . . And making her enjoy doing
her work as she profited.
I realized then the whole thing
was a cleverly planned niechod ol
teaching.
The little groups of pictures be
gan to carry spelled-out numbers.
The teacher would tell the young
sters to color "rabbit No. 1" or
"chair No. 3" yellow, and so on
through several pictures.
It all boiled down to the fact the
children were learning several
things at one time . . . And en
joying themselves as they did it.
Mere s wnat tnose ume coiorea

involved . . . Now the younsstcrs
were being taught to reason.
I remember a picture of a
Christmas tree covered with large
and small oranaimmts. The teacher
had told the youngsters to "color
two big ornaments yellow, three
small ones blue, one big one red,
two small ones green," etc.
The evening Susan brought that
paper home with a gilt star pasted
on lt for good work, she was proud
as punch.
IThe little stars are another clev.
er idea. They're given for top
grade work and mean a great deal
more to youngsters than a mere
grading mark. It's a shining hour
for Susan when she can greet her
mother and I with "another atar."
Of course, there's a good deal more
to the first grade schooling than
merely coloring pictures . . . But
those pictures and their clever use
are apparently the backbone of
launching the youngsters on their
school career.
As I said, I think this new method
is far superior to the maimer in
which I was taunht.
However, I do think there should
be a major change in high school
instruction. I don't remember ever
hearing anyone else with an idea
for such a change as I have In
mind . . . Mnybe it's a rattle
