tion and the Delaware Citizens AS
sociation to visit the Towson DEM
onstrating School, returned home on
Monday evening. The Towson School
is one of the model schools of the
East. All the methods are scientific
and progressive. Teachers who have
studied abroad are in charge of this
school.
There is no formal discipline and
the unit of work system is used
The teaching is actual and practical
as the pupils are taken from an ELI
gible list from the immediate vicin-
ity and are not pupils chosen espe-
cially for demonstration. This work
is observed every day by the student
teachers of the Maryland Normal
School.
In their dramatization of history
the pupils were taken to glen near

on Arbor Day. A committee was ap-
pointed from among the children to I
go to Baltimore and interview men, |
bers of the State Forestry Commis- J
sion, and another committee was
appointed to visit the local nursery

grade room decided to plant pussy |
willow trees, because they had a |
number of them rooted in their ex-
perimental boxes.
The sixth grade in astronomy had |
made a chart of the heavens on |
which were represented the sun, !
moon, stars and planets.
The second grade was studying |
elementary science.
The visit to the cafeteria was very
interesting and instructive as the |
teachers accompany their pupils in |
to the lunch room and see that each
child orders the proper food neces-
sary to give the desired number of
calories and vitamines.

The purpose of the visit of the

some of the teachers familiar with
the methods of the work done in the
school.
