TAR PRINCIPAL, DECEMBER, 1939 67 Greetings to Elementary Principals Elphe K. Smith, Tigard, Oregon, President, Department of Classroom Teachers of the National Education Association A few years ago the Teachers’ Affairs Committee of the Portland Grade Teachers Association inaugurated a series of cooper. ative committee conferences of city-wide scope. The theme of the meetings was the exchange of good ideas in clerical short. cuts, and building procedures which were worthy of imitation. The administrative and supervisory staffs of the school system cooperated, school board members made helpful suggestions, and the press entered into the spirit of good will. As the roll was called and the chairman of each school’s cooperative committee reported, principals were listed as important assets to their buildings. Since the laudation was not made with any ulterior motive, and was offered without the knowledge of the beneficiary, it typifies the spirit of harmonious cooper. ation and good-fellowship which exists in our schools today. As an outgrowth of principal-teacher participation in school affairs the child is greatly benefited. The principal in the modern school is not the ogre who take: the place of father in disciplinary measures, but a friend who has the interests of each pupil at heart, and is proficient in furthering the teacher’s objectives in the child’s individual betterment. This happy unit has advanced the cause oj education throughout the country. The classroom teacher works with the principal in his campaign for better public relations, and has joined him in greater participation in civic affairs. She shares his concern for the future of the teaching profession in the United States and is on the alert to discover youth fitted for enrollment in the Future Teacher of America—those groups dedicated to wise selection of teacher material amon; the young folk of our country. The Department of Classroom Teachers of the National Education Association extends to the National Elementary Principals’ Association a wish for a profes sionally profitable year, and pledges the united resources of its associates to tht furtherance of good teaching in all schools of our country, and to an advance in the cause of culture wherever professionals are dedicated to education of th young.

Some Things That Seem Clear About Teaching To teach, involves three major elements: (1) a learner who is to acquire a new fact—a new skill—a new attitude or some other change in his personal relationship to the world of nature, the world of material things or the human world; (2) fact or skill, etc., to be acquired; and (3) the teacher who knows the objective of the teaching art and how to help the learner to arrive at the objective. In recent years a great battle has been going on between those who say the important thing is—How it is done and those who say that not only How but What is taught is important. Take the history of the teaching of reading over the past twenty years, method after method has been proposed, many tried and some discarded. Thousands of new readers have flooded the market. Endless re- search goes on—chiefly on How and When to teach reading. The same is true of arithmetic and other subjects. There are those who say there should be no division of subject matter such as we have had for a century and that teaching should be based on life problems only. Out of all of this confusion a few things seem to be clear. I. The teaching act remains the same throughout the centuries—(1) a learner, (2) something to be learned, and (3) one who knows the objective and a way to reach it. If the teacher is absent from the process the learner is self taught. II. The actual learning is always by the individual—at his own rate and in his own way. III. The greater the interest of the individual the easier the learning. IV. There is really no such thing as mass teaching. Any attempt to teach forty individuals at once is almost sure to get forty different results. V. Life situations if natural and spontaneous make learning easier. VI. Learning for an individual is in direct proportion to effort. Skill, ability or information does not come without effort. Home work has been abused, but no home work may mean no skill, no ability, no information. “No excellence without labor’’—one does not arrive by doing nothing. VII. Every individual has talent—some much, some less. His greatest and most natural development is in the direction of his natural talent. The wise teacher watches for the slightest evidence of interest, skill or ability. The poorest reader in school may sell the most tickets to the school movie. The girl that cannot get arithmetic may excel in music, art or dramatics. VIII. The conformer may please the teacher but he seldom develops much initiative. IX. The good teacher follows the course of study part of the time and the children’s interests all of the time. AARON KLINE *Tn each issue of The National Elementary Principal this year Mr. Kline will discuss a pertinent educa- tional problem. PRINCIPAL, DECEMBER, 1939 69 A St. Louis, Missouri, elementary school works out a project dramatizing the history and meaning of maps Plans for St. Louis February 24-29, 1940 General Sessions. Did you attend the meeting in St. Louis in 1936? If not then you missed a profitable and professional experience. If you were there, ther you will remember what a helpful and inspirational meeting it was. The meeting in February will be no exception to the rule, for President Irvin A. Wilson, La Grange, Illinois, has chosen for the theme topic on Monday afternoon, February 26, “What Good Educational Practices Can Be Found in Our Elementary Schools.” This fine program will begin with community singing, led by Robert H. Edgar, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Mr. Edgar has chosen a list of ‘‘old favorites which you will enjoy singing. Miss Cecelia Galvin, principal of School No. 3 Indianapolis, Indiana, and chairman of the Editorial Committee for the 19th Yearbook, Meeting Special Needs of the Individual Child will make a detailed re- port of progress made. President Wilson has chosen two eminent educators t discuss subjects pertinent to the general theme. There will be ample time for dis- cussion, and we should avail ourselves of the opportunity to discuss with these leaders the trends of elementary education, and how best to apply their statements of good practices to the things which we are doing in our schools. On Tuesday, February 27, The Missouri Elementary Principals’ Association will have charge of the meeting with Dr. Frank H. Gorman, president, presiding This will be another afternoon of help and inspiration. Make plans to come. Social Features. No convention is complete unless time is taken for making friends as well as greeting old friends.

There is nothing very abstruse or difficult about correcting one’s vocal faults. The machinery is very simple. Lungs and a diaphragm for air storage, two little frilled cords to make sound, a tongue, teeth and lips—that’s all. What are the most flagrant faults? First, inaudibility, due to lack of projection. This is easily corrected by proper breathing. Second, monotone—the deadly lack of inflection with the drop at the end of the sentence which makes even the most interesting subject matter dull and boring. This is due to inflexibility of the vocal cords through lack of use. Third, nasal tone, also easily corrected, since it is entirely due to raising the tongue at the back. Fourth, incorrect, sloppy pronun- ciation, which includes the harsh, western “Rrr.”’ Some simple exercises for correction of these habits are the following: A. For breath control and projection:—1. Fill the lungs by expanding the sides and back above the waistline, without raising the chest and shoulders, and then shoot out the air by drawing in the diaphragm at the front of the waist. 2. Read aloud from a newspaper each day for ten minutes, holding the ribs up until the very last moment before taking a new breath, and letting the diaphragm do the work of pushing out the air. Try to get as many words as possible in each breath. These will build up breath control and projection so that alow tone will carry to the end of the room with perfect ease. B. For flexibility of vocal cords: Choose a single sentence with many consonants and sing it to each semi-tone from low G to middle C. Slur the last syllable in the sentence to the next semi-tone. Don’t speak in a deadly monotone. Let your voice sing. The voice which uses the vocal chords from end to end is exciting, intriguing. Children will listen to it with interest. C. To destroy nasal tone:—Keep the tongue well down at the back, with the point of the tongue firmly placed against the lower teeth, from which it should not be removed except for S, T, D, L, when it should slip up behind the front teeth. Only for the K and G sounds should the tongue be pulled back. The teeth should be kept well apart, to allow room for the projection of full, pure, resonant tone. The correction of pronunciation is a very easy task. It doesn’t require a $20.00 an hour teacher to tell one that “for” should not be pronounced “fur,” or “nor” “nur.” Many mispronunciations are actually words used incorrectly. For instance: awful — offal — the viscera of a dead animal taught — tot —— a small child caught — cot — a bed wraught — rot — decay or -- er — an exclamation ball — boll — cotton God — gaud — a decoration Our children have an inalienable right to demand pure, harmonious voices, and correct pronunciation from their teachers, and the teachers have the same tight to demand efficient training in good speech from their colleges, and college teachers ought to have been trained to speak well when they were children by their teachers. Here is the vicious circle—where shall we start? Check in the 18th Yearbook to see if your club is listed between pages 624 and 633. If it is not, or if you have new officers, be sure to let headquarters know so that your club will receive complimentary the Newsletter which will be sent out on the first of the month. PRINCIPAL, DECEMBER, 1939 83 a | Interpreting the Enrichment Program to Parents Sara E. Chase,* Principal, Washington School, Springfield, Massachusetts The Washington School has tried to acquaint its mothers with the school life of their children through three means: mother-teacher conferences, yearbooks written by the children, and observations of classroom work. Mother-Teacher Conferences—Our mother-teacher conferences are held from four to five o’clock every other month. Usually the principal talks in these meetings for thirty minutes on some subject closely related to the welfare oj the children’s home or school life. The remainder of the hour is spent in discus- sion along the lines of the questions asked by the mothers or the teachers. Time for personal consultations between mothers and teachers is provided before and after each meeting. During one year the following subjects were considered in our conferences: Changes in the Teaching Procedures of Reading, Writing and Arithmetic; Nature-Study Activities; Providing a Meaningful Content for Written Conm- position; Growth through Assembly-Room Programs; Art for Expression and Appreciation; and Free Reading. To make the changes in classroom procedure more clear to the mothers, a few children remained for a part of each conference hour to show or tell the mothers in simple floor talks about some of their work as it illustrated points discussed by the speaker. They showed and talked about collections they were making and insects they were observing in nature study. They explained large drawings they were pre- paring for stage backdrops or wall hangings, puppets they were constructing for their own theaters, and illustrations they were making for their own stories. They read some of their compositions, including chapters from class stories, scenes from original plays, introductions for programs, and summaries of facts learned through trips to farms, parks, or museums. They exhibited stage prop- erties, models, bookshelves, and doll furniture they had constructed and explained how they had used arithmetic in this construction. They read selections from new books obtained in the free-reading room. Yearbooks—Four yearbooks published by the Washington School were planned with a threefold purpose in mind: acquainting parents with classroom work, raising children’s standards in written composition, and showing teachers new teaching procedures. These yearbooks were compiled from the children’s reports of completed activities. Some of them were written by individuals; some by class groups. All of them were written with the mothers in mind.

A few chapter headings from the yearbooks’ tables of contents indicate the nature of the reports: Nature Study Arithmetic Our Observations Washington School in Figures Our Investigations Number Facts in Action Our Summaries Weights and Measures in Use Nature in Verse Drill These very short reports show how the children told about their activities: An October Trip In our trip to the Dingle, we played silent game. Everyone kept quiet and listened for the sounds of the woods. Here is our list of what we heard: 1. A blue jay chirping 10. Leaves falling 2. Branches crackling 11. Crows calling 3. Bees buzzing 12. Squirrels frisking 4. Acorns falling 13. Grass rustling 5. The brook gurgling 14, Trees blowing 6. The wind whistling 15. Woodpeckers tapping 7. Pine trees sighing 16. Insects buzzing 8. Frogs grunting i7. Echoes sounding 9. Crickets chirping Teacher, Miss Adams Room 22, 4A Graphs to Show Changes Since 1790 We made other graphs to show the population of the United States in 1790 and 1930. We let each square of our graph represent 10 million people. In 1790 the population was 3,929,214 so we filled in a little more than % of a square. When the census was taken in 1930, there were 122,795,046 people in the United States. We filled in twelve squares and less than a third of another. Teacher, Miss Moore John Madden, 5B Classroom Visits—During the school year 1937-38 the Washington School invited its mothers to a series of classroom visits. Extracts from the notices of invitation follow: “In place of the Mother-Teacher Conferences held during the last four years, the Washington School invites you to a series of classroom visits during the school year of 1937-38. On Tuesday, October 19, each classroom will have reading from 2:45 until the close of school. This is the first subject to be shown in the series which will include arithmetic, language, and social studies. The reading will include silent reading and oral reading; study reading and skimming; reading for information, appreciation and fun; reading of stories, poetry, news, tables, and graphs. In the kindergarten there will be work in preparation for reading and in PRINCIPAL, DECEMBER, 1939 85 arousing interest in reading; in the first grade there will be drill in the mechanics oj reading. After school the teachers will be glad to answer questions about the work you have seen. Miss Chase will meet those who wish to talk with her in Room 8.” “The work in social studies will include discussions, study of facts, use of source mate. rials and pictures, and correlations with other subjects.” “The language will include planning and writing papers, using standards in correcting first drafts, cooperating to improve the work of individuals, practicing to maintain skills reading papers previously written, talking about and listening to matters of interest expressing personal reactions in discussions, and giving floor talks.” From 300 to 400 mothers accepted these invitations and saw classroom work going on as they might see it on any day. We feel that each means used to interpret our program to our parents some. what increased their understanding of present classroom procedure and its objectives. SCHOOL LIFE IN MIDGET SAVANNAH Miss Romona Riley, _ principal, Waters Avenue School, Savannah, Georgia, together with her teachers, has published, in bulletin form, an ac- count of how the pupils and faculty of a public elementary school have de- veloped a program of citizenship as a part of the curriculum, School Life in Midget Savannah. Its aim is to relate the idea of citizenship to the children’s present interests, in the hope that as they live at Midget Savannah (as Waters Avenue School was named by the children) they will form many generalizations which will help them to meet the various situations which will confront them later. A copy may be secured by sending sixty cents to Waters Avenue School. Headquarters wishes to thank W. W. McCune, assistant superintendent of Schools, Savannah, and Miss Riley for sending a copy to us. Necrology Headquarters has received informa- tion that the following persons have gone from our midst during the past year: W. B. Arbaugh, Highland Park Mich., F. H.
