As to the kind Of work you would
expect twelve classes of 30 10 80 chill
dren each TO do, when supervised BY
four teachers IN the auditorium the
best way TO answer that question is TO
tell what they have done.
In one seventh grade class they had
been studying about Morse and the in
vcnt1ou of the telegraph. The history
teacher asked the English teacher TO
have the children write a composition
on Morse. When she proposed II to the
children. one Of them Immediately said II:
"Why not write about the whole de
velopment Of tclcgraphy >" They got
discussing the subject, and finally one
said: why not do more than write
about it, Why not work 10 up and
present IL with samples of the differ
cnt apparatus all the way up 70 wire
less telegraphy? ." The class was eager
70 DO 10. and 10 turned out that some Of
the boys had been studying telegraphy
n physics, and the result was that they
all worked together on it and finally
presented - IN the auditorium 10 the
grcaI delight and interest Of their au-
dicncc
Now. that one piece Of auditorium
work brought 10 history and English
and physics and shop; it trained the
children in explaining what they knew;
it made them ind out what they did
not know, and IL stimulated immensely
the interest Of the other children in
the school in the work that they might
have the chance 10 do when they got
into those classes.
In another auditorium period the
children from third grade nature
study class presented dramatization
of the work which they had been doing
i'm nature study. In another. some
boys from the plumbing shop explained
all about the plumbing OF an ordinary
house and why children should be
careful Of IT, Such presentation from
their contemporaries had much more
effect on the children than anything
their parents could say. and it reused
their interest in plumbing as a trade.
In another auditorium girls in the
cooking class explained about food
values and the kind of food that one
should eat TO get the most nourishment
al the least cost. 4 class OF sixth
grade children became so interested in
the story of Ulysses and Gree that they
dramatized il themselves and presented
it in the auditorium.
