SUGGESTIVE PLAN OF ORGANIZATION

A successful Agricultural Week can be had in a 0ne-teacher
eight-grada school, but to divide the work into eight divisions
would make the time for each so short that the result would not
be satisfactory. The following plan of organization has been
found disable:
Organize t as school sa.,h into Cd tar. "a divisions gs, Primary, grades /. os .. two and nd
eight; Thi. viii vary in different schools according to the ability and the
AMPLE, The Il fifth and sixth might s. be placed 'l in the e T Int s.'''' - :

1t is suggested that a part of the work of the Advanced div
ision be divided between the boys and girls to meet their diff
ferent interests, the boys studying the farm and the girls the
farm home. The work in Reading and Arithmetic is arranged
after this plan.
It will appear from this plan that the work of the two morn
ing periods and of the last period of the day are learning per-
iods for the pupil, the third period is the time for him to express
the things he has learned, to show his reaction to the opportun-
tiles that have been presented, to pass his judgments on his OBJ
|servations. During this expression period the pupil will discover
for himself the things he knows and the things he does not know.
Remember that several assignments will need to be made
Friday before Agriculture Week and many will peed to be made
program. It will be well for the teacher to prepare a list of an
reuncements to make to the children each evening before dismiss
al, beginning Friday, April 10.
