more strenuous program. They
should have on graduation, four
years of history and related social
studies; at least three years of
mathematics; at least two years of
science; three years of one for
eign language and either another
year of math and a tough course
of physics or three years of a
second foreign language.
Another conclusion advocated
by Conant was the academically
talented student must be protect
ed, in his tougher courses from
•having his instruction watered
down for the less able. The 85
percent in high school that are
not specially talented, he said,
should select a consistent pro
gram directed towards the devel
opment of a specialized talent or
vocation.
Educators felt the criticism di
rected in recent months since
“Sputnik” to the American school
system to be unjustified. They
pointed out that the U. S. had 70
percent of the 16-year-olds in
school compared to 10 percent of
that age group in Europe. Also,
that we have as many high school
students in honor societies as the
total enrollment in Europe.
Dr. Johnson’s talk, described as
“provocative,” “stimulating” and
“challenging,” gave a very thor
ough summary of the convention
findings. Generally, the educa
tional experts attending advocat
ed large classrooms under “gift
ed” or good teachers; “Only medi
ocre teachers needed small
classes”; lengthening the school
day and the school year; more
homework. A merit rating sys
tem was advocated, giving teach
er rewards based on performance,
and not on seniority.
Mrs. Guyneth Hess, newly elect
ed president of the PTA, presided
over the meeting, which was at
tendd by about a hundred peo
ple. Refreshments wtere served
afterwards.
