Revised Course
OF Study Sent
Out to Schools

Teachers in the elementary
schools throughout Oregon will be
in receipt of copies of the revised
state course Of study within the
next few days, according to J. A.
Churchill, state superintendent of
public instruction. The books are
being mailed out now from the Of
flee of the state printer. CHE
courses in civil government, geo.
graphy and language have been re-
written while the courses in all the
other essential subjects have been
revised, Churchill explains.
Commenting on the revised
course Of study Churchill declared !:
THAT the future citizens may
love his country and serve 1t in
telligently civics is very definitely
outlined by grades beginning with
the home in the first grade and
passing by easy gradation in the
other grades through the students
relations to the neighborhood, the
city, the state, and the nation.
Since the adopted texts in geo.
graphy in 1919 contained objection
al subject matter and maps gSvkns
incorrect boundaries of European
countries. the old text was used
last year. The two book series OF
the Tarr & McMurray has been re-
vised and will be used in the schools
this year. The task of the pupil
in the first four years of the course
in geography is largely one of ac-
'quiring facts and general informa-
tion, such as will be used for back
ground purposes in the upper
grades. The fifth, sixth and sew
enth grades study specific rather
than general things, under a plan
involving the project method.
1.-THE course in language is
based on the recommendations of
the Council of English and Inland
Empire association and aims to de-
velop correct oral and written ex-
preston. For the purpose Of arous-
ing interest, there has been placed
following each subject, list of es-
sentia1 library reference books for
pupils and teachers. The books are
especially important for the sub
jects taught without textbooks. and
afford stimulating and interesting
supplementary work for all sub
jects."
