EducatiVe Process Each teacher S
discussion will be limited to five min
utes, following which questions may
be asked.
In announcing the programs, Super
intendent McGinnes said:
The work selected for professional
reading is TO say the least practical.
1t is based upon the true principle
that the values of life are ends that are
good for every one and that the sole
cue to value is experience. With it
the beginning point of all instruction
is the experience of the learner.
In order to avoid congested pro-
gram and to be able to give more time
TO 4 careful consideration of the chap
ters assigned for professional reading,
fewer topics than usual are scheduled
tor each meeting"
