County School Superintendents View Present Curriculum Needs The Oregon Association of County school superintendents held their annual workshop in Portland July 22 to 26. The superintendents are making a critical study of the curriculum now being offered and used this workshop to begin an extensive study. They want to know if revisions or additions should be made so as to fit the students for the world which is now rapidly turning to automation and elec tronics. The whole program was geared to a study of automation and the electronic age and fo cused on youth and their needs for living in today’s mechanized and scientific world. Dr. Hel >n K. Mackintosh, chief, elementary school section, U. S. office of education, set the pace for the conference with her open ing address "Curriculum Vi- sioneenng in a World of Change '. A study of educational TV in cluded a trip to KGW-TV’s studio where the group watched the broadcasting of the great books discussion. The Tuesday pro gram, “Visioneering in Transpor tation,’’ included a tour of Boeing Aircraft Corporation in Seattle. The group was transported to the aircraft factory in air force C47 plane, service style, including parachutes. "Visioneeiing in the Use of Energy" also proved to be fascinating. Don Kepler, person- al director, Tektronix, Inc., talk ed of democratic practices in fac tory operation and management. A demonstration of electronic cooking was given by Miss Jane Robison, home economist, Port land General Electric company. Addresses on "Processing and Preserving Foods" by Dr. H. M. Schultz, Professor of Food Tech nologv. Oregon State college, Cor vallis, and “Power from Cosmic Space" by C. E. Seavey, public demonstrations supervisor, Paci fic Telephone and Telegraph Co., Portland, provided much infor mation and suggested probable changes in our daily living pat- i terns. "IBM’s Place in Educa tion” will undoubtedly prove to be very important. This interest ing demonstration and lecture was given by Don Blundell, IBM’s special representative for state and local government. Discussion using the topic “What Does the Future Hold for Schools" gave the group a great deal to think about and indicated many important plans and addi tions for the curriculum.
