THE DEMONSTRATION SCHOOL

The Demonstration School Staff.-Mr. WADDLE, Director; Mrs. SAMUELS, Mrs. WARING, Mrs. BEAUFAIT, Mrs. KELLER, Mrs. RAYBOLD, and others.

The Organization and Purpose of the School. The purpose of the Demonstration School is to show in operation certain selected types of school organization, materials, and methods which depart somewhat radically from the traditional. It is designed to put to the test of practical operation certain educational theories and principles which, though admitted in theory, are often considered unworkable in practice.

The school will comprise two units, a primary unit of three rooms and a middle grade unit of two rooms. Each of the five rooms will attempt to serve the purpose of demonstrating an unique attack upon a specific problem or group of problems. Through observation and discussion students of the Summer Session will have an opportunity to familiarize themselves with any one or all of the experiments.

In one unit an experiment will be carried on with a large group of pre-primary children in which the child's natural tendency to repeat a physical activity is utilized to develop, spontaneously, writing and reading.

In the other two primary groups methods and materials suitable to self-directive and self-corrective education will be utilized; new materials assembled, arranged, worked over and made to stimulate self-directed activities of an educative sort. Much of the work of these groups will be illustrative of the project method and the values of conscious goals of effort and accomplishment will be made clear.

One of the middle grade rooms will be a typical adjustment room. The materials and methods elaborated, systematized, and now extensively used in the city schools of Los Angeles, under the direction of Dr. A. H. Sutherland, will be used. This room will illustrate the Sutherland method of individualizing the work of a group, of helping the misfit child to become readjusted to his proper grade, of developing self-confidence, selfdirection and independence in study. The materials and methods of initial testing and of determination of individual needs will also be made clear, as well as methods of testing, recording, and checking of individual progress.

The other middle grade room will be more strictly experimental. It will lay particular stress upon methods of supervised study, upon Dr. Fernald's new method of attack upon the problem of the non-reader, upon illustration of the method of the new state text in the teaching of spelling, and upon methods of diagnosis of individual difficulties in learning. An effort will be made to show how the laws of learning may be applied in specific cases to meet individual needs and idiosyncrasies. Special attention will be given to the correction of faulty habits of learning and to the establishment of good habits, self-confidence, and selfdirection.

In all its units the school will attempt to show what it means to take the experimental attitude, how certain disputed theories in education may be attacked, and how steps may be taken toward their solution.

Observers should not expect to find a perfected type of smoothly running organization. It is desired rather to show how groups of children with widely differing interests, needs, and capacities are brought together, tested, grouped, and set to work, and how the leads that the children's own interests and needs furnish, may be made use of in the working out of suitable materials and activities for the promotion of their individual development.

The Children.-On account of the nature of the work to be undertaken, the number of children who can be accommodated is limited. A fee of $5 will be charged for pupils in the primary groups and $10 for pupils in the middle grade adjustment groups. Applications for enrollment should be made as early as possible to Mr. Waddle or to one of the teachers in the demonstration school.

INDUSTRIAL AND CONTINUATION SCHOOL EDUCATION

The Summer Session courses under this heading are designed primarily to prepare men and women for service in vocational schools and departments maintained under the provisions of the State and Federal Vocational Education acts and the recent State Compulsory Part-Time Act, which became effective with the beginning of the school year 1920–21. The courses here listed will be of interest to shop teachers, commercial teachers, supplemental subject teachers, and those desiring to prepare for parttime schools.

Special Summer Session scholarships, equivalent in value to the Summer Session fee, may be granted to prospective and qualified teachers of shop subjects and will be accepted in lieu of the $20 fee. Application for scholarships should be made in advance to George W. Galbraith, Supervisor of Classes for Teachers of Trade and Industrial Subjects, Central Intermediate School, 451 North Hill street, Los Angeles.
