HIGH SCHOOL INSPECTOR
RECOMMENDS TEACHING
.0F GOOD CITIZEN SHIP

Norman, Okla, May l4-Radical re-
vision of Oklahoma high school courses
along many lines is recommended py
the committee on reorganization or the
high school course of study, which was
appointed one year ago at the annual
Oklahoma high school conference held
hero
The report has been submitted to
the conference by A z Parsons, hiSh'
school inspector, who was chairman
In the line of specific recommended
tons one year of general science Is
recommended for every high school
1t was pointed out that physics is most
generally offered now, that the lab
oratory teachers limited, and the work
generally unsatisfactory. 1t is recon-
mended that general science, agricul'
ture, domestic science, hygiene and
sanitation, and applied biology should
replace physics and chemistry in small
high schools.
In the teaching of English the
committee recommends that u distlnc-
ton should be made between Eng
lish as an instrument for use, and
us u leisure occupation. For the
former the instruction should be to
correct all mistakes. In the latter
the reading should be of such char
acter that high school pupils would ac'
quire u taste for reading. The com
mittee believes that many students leave
high school now with an actual dlstaste
| for reading.
Should Improve Citizenship
Social studies in high school, the
committee recommends, should be de-
signed to improve citizenship. Com.
munity education, family income- pov-
| erty and care of the poor, crime and
reform, savings bank and life insur-
ance, mob actions, and human rights
versus property rights are recomipend-
ed as subjects which should be studied
in civics rather than how laws may be
passed over the presidents veto or a
dissection of the constitution of the
United States. More emphasis on Am
orleans and modern history also are
recommended.
The committee finds that Latin as a
high school is ground that steps Should
be taken to counteract this by expert
mental teaching, correlation of Latin
with English, and careful attention to
the practical phases of Latin. The
committee believes the present popular
ity of Spanish and French is only tenn
porary as it believes they are not prac'
teal subjects for small high schools
Vocational efficiency is recommended
as the major purpose of courses in man
ual arts. Definite and complete infor-
nation should be available in every
library on every vocation. Commercial
courses are recommended also to give
practical training for students expecting
to enter business careers.
