4 Junior High School Plan

Belfast, Me-, Dec. 4.-(SpeciaI.)-
The third session Of the Belfast
Searsport Teachers Institute was
held at the High school building
with a large attendance, 80 teachers
besides many visitors listening tc
the demonstrations and talk.
Prof. NJ. f. Chase. musical director
OF the public schools, gave a most
instructive and entertaining normal
music hour and this was followed
by a demonstration Of the Paine,
Method of business writing by Miss
esther Evans, teacher of pennanshit
in the p. H. S. Zenas D. Hartshorn
master of the Belfast Grammai
school gave talk on Minimum Es-
sentials in Arithmetic.
The Place Of the Junior Hizli Or
ganization in our School System
was the subject of most interest
ing discourse by Supt. Z. E. Roderick
of the Belfast Searsport Union. He
said in part:
For several years a Junior High
school has been planned for Belfast
but inadequate room and lack OF
equipment have prevented. We could
nave changed. the organization in
name but we wished to do it in
reality with special courses for pre-
vocational work. languages, etc. The
hrst step we have taken was to do
away with the semi annual promo
tons. The completion of tho new
building will be the next step.
This will enable the school to have
courses in manual training, aglicul-
ture. Domestic Science, etc. Pre-
vocationals work should be offered
and we are encouraged by the Fed
eral government and the State who
will pay two-thirds of the cost of
instruction.
Our plan is the $50 plan, So
called which means six years in the
elementary schools, three in the
Junior High and three in the SEN
Tor High The new building for
Belfast will be planned for six
years work.
Tor and Senior High in the same
building it would necessitate .wo
equipments for the prevocational
work. one for the grades and one
for the High. The Federal govern
ment recommends that prevocationaI
work began shall start in the 18th
year.
Results to be expected: 1st.-
Closer correlation Of work of upper
grades and high school; 2nd.-De-
partmental teaching, specializing in
each. subject. with each teacher
working out the same program
right through the course. This oceans
that each teacher will have the same
classes right through the course. For
instance. teacher will have Latin.

and carrying the student along until

graduation. In this way q teacher
can make out a program for the six
years or the number of years sub
ject is to be taken, thus becoming
much more efficient.
Promotions will be by subject in
stead of by grades. This means that
if student passes in all but one
he can 60 on. by taking that subject
over during the next year. The e-3-s
plan simplifies matters by making
one administration sufficient to
govern both school. 1t enables both
schools to use one physical train-
ing equipment, thus increasing the
equipment and building 100 per cent.
The auditorium. library, gym, la
sbratory, heating, janitor service. etc.
can be used by both schools. It makes
possible an assembly hall large
enough to accommodate either or
both schools. II
