WAR BUILDS A MONUMENT, a tower of smoke, charred walls and heaps of broken
bricks in China. Here is a cleanup squad which has captured one of Shanghai’s strategic buildings after
Japanese warplanes bombed it, reducing the structure to a smoking mass of debris. Chinese aircraft,
however, fought back, blasting at Nipponese positions while infantrymen stood their ground in the face
of fierce onslaughts.
New System Of
Teaching Being
Advocated 1933
ALBANY, Nov. 26, —Stream
lining has hit New York state
schools. But net with a bang, for
educators don’t work that way.
But, as Dr. J. Cayce Morrison,
assistant state commissioner for
elementary education explains,
the social order has been chang
ing rapidly. And that has creat
ed the need for “development of
a social studies program.”
For a year and a half, under
Dr. Morrison’s direction, 200
schools have been doing some ex
perimenting to see what the new
program should be like. By next
spring, he predicts, 10,000 teach
ers with 200,000 pupils from pri
mary to sixth grade will be en
gaged in the experiment.
Would Blend Subjects
No complete change in the cur
riculum should be made until ex
periments have gone on three or
four years. Dr. Morrison feels. But
here’s what he’s aiming at:
Abandoning history, geography,
sociology and economics as stereo
typed subjects and blending
them so they will fit the child’s
needs.
“Why should a child in the 4th
grade, for example, learn about
the geography of the Mohawk Val
ley one year and the history of
the same sections the next year?
Why not learn them both togeth
er?” Dr. Morrison asks.
‘The acquisition of information
must be subordinated to enable
each individual to lead a more
enjoyable existence and to choose
a life of usefulness.”
The new curriculum, in which
the two S’s, social studies, may
outweigh the three R’s must be
constructed so that the child en
tering th class room “sees no
heed for leaving his natural ex
pedience and curiosity behinds”,
says Morrison.
“The new problems that have
developed—social, geographic and
economic—are troubling otir pu
pils. They think about them and
lid k about them.
"Should the teacher say ‘shh’ to
their questions and tell them not
to think about these things until
they are in college?
“We don’t believe so. We are
convinced that the teacher should
be able to provide answers. And
that’s the reason we’ve undertak
en development of a social stud
ies program.”
