On Teaching Methods

is our opinion that this method is
not conducive to producing the best
results, for If the students read the
assigned material without having
had any explanation beforehand,
they will not be in position to un-
derstand good deal of the ma
terial, and thus, when they come
to the class the next time, they
will not be prepared to deal with
the questions lntelligently.
One thing We must particularly
guard against In teaching at the
Workers School Is the tendency to
convert the class room into lee
ture hall. Certain instructors tend
to talk all the time and monopo-
lie the floor. We find that the
students get tired of listening to the
lecture, become sleepy or drowsy,
and thus a good deal of energy and
time are wasted.
Whether the method proposed
above by us comedies with the ped
agogic principles and regulations
does not matter. The fact is that
from experience we know that this
method works well.
We should also bear in mind that
our students are workers and have
very little time ct their disposal and
therefore We must guard against
assigning too much reading mate
rial

BY A. MARRIOTT

THE method of presentation Of the
subject to the students is a very
important problem in teaching at
the Workers School. There may be
several opinions on this question,
but the method We propose is the
result of actual experience of teach
ing at the school for long time.
The best results can be obtained
If we approach the problem in the
following manner:
Any new topic must be intro
duced by the instructor in the form
of a lecture, interspersed here and
there with questions. This should
take not more than so per cent of
the session. The reading material
to be assigned to the students is to
deal with the problems raised in the
introduction. At the following ses-
sion discussion based on the read
ing assignment is to be conducted in
the class under the guidance of the
instructor for about half of the time
# the session Following this, the
TEXT topic is introduced, proceeding
II the same manner as above.
There are instructors who APP
roach the problem in 2 different
manner. They assign reading ma
erial to the students but do not in
troduce the subject beforehand. It

THE newspaper reporter rose n 60.
He was disappointed. He had
come to interview five Of the Scots
boro Mothers and Ruby Bates and
hoped To get a good story. but
nothing startling had come out. He
asked = few questions Of the
mothers about when they had seen
their boys last and how many chill

Then he turned to Ruby Bates
What was she doing now?
Mostly speaking. She hopes TO

Ruby answers with a quiet dig
nifty, gently, almost as If she didn't
want to rebuke the reporter for his
impertinence.

business, that's not Of public in

The reporter had not got his
story, so he rose to go, disappointed.
But before he reached the door Mrs.
Montgomery, the mother Of DIN,
said: rs that all? 1 thought we
were all going to be asked ques-
tons and could say what's on our

The reporter stopped at the door

Small Town Editor
= BY JOHN WAsHBURN.

There Is no such thing as an
independent press, unless il Is In
the country towns"-John Swim
ton.
CONE experiences which to some
y extent account for the uniform,
dry and ultra reactionary character
of the average small-town neWspa-
per, we're told to me recently by a
one-time editor of weekly in
Dobbs Ferry, N. Y.
Besides filling twelve pages or so
week with halfway fresh news, the
small-town editor is expected to sell
advertising space and solicit job
printing in his spare moments and
on some occasions mail the paper to
subscribers when it comes off the
press. His job is made doubly hard
in most cases by the circulation in
his village of q daily, from some
nearby city, which covers the whole
county.
II he tries to inject an honest
touch in his reportorial and editorial
policy he meets with active obiec-
ton from the manager or owner OF
the paper,
1t is for this very reason that the
strengthening Of the revolutionary
press is of vital importance. There
are thousands of small newspapers
prototypes Of the one here described
printed all over this country in IN
dustrial and agricultural centers
They are practically subsidies of the
controlling political party which
represents the ruling class and it is
quite natural" that anything that
night open the eyes of the workers
would be taboo in their pages, The
sad part of it is, the average reader
takes for granted what he reads in
the newspaper.
1t was surprise to Grant, the
editor of the Hobbs Ferry weekly
that week or so after moving to
town he was criticized for living
over an Italian grocery store. The
owner Of the paper suggested that
Grant get in touch with the man
who had the local monopoly on real
estate. He did so and soon moved
to another apartment. It was in

Suggestion on
Teaching Method

The director of the Brownsville
Workers School sends a letter on
the question Of concentration of
teaching in the Workers Schools.
He says in part: LET us take the
point Of concentration Of capital
and production under imperialism.
If we approach the problem
from the local industries and then
lead up to Morgan, the worker
student will find a real meaning in
monopoly capital We should start
with the Brooklyn Union Gas Co.,
Brooklyn Edison Co. the Brooklyn
Manhattan Transit Co, the Inter
borough Rapid Transit Co., the
Borden Milk Co, etc. All of the
students in the Brownsville Workers
School are consumers of electricity,
gas, milk and subway transporta-
ton, The Brooklyn Edison Co.
is an excellent local illustration and
starting point for a study of con-
centration of capital and produc-
ton. Percy A. Rockefeller is di-
rector of the Brooklyn Edison Co.,
which is an affiliate of the Console
dated Gas Co. of New York. Con-
solidated in turn, has among its
directors, Percy A. Rockefeller,
George Whitney, Charles E. Mitch
ell, George F. Baker. Consolidated
is tied up with National City Bank
and ]. P. Morgan When this APP
proach is made, the conclusion is
that the Brooklyn Edison Co, which
the workers student uses every day,
is owned by Morgan, who collects
tribute every time the worker turns
on the electric light"
Y. J. Jerome will conclude his
critical analysis of the Program
of the American Workers Party at
the next general conference of the
instructors of the Workers School
in New York, Saturday, May rs, at
$3.50 pm.

much worse condition than that of
the Italian grocerynan, but II was
in respectable" building.
The population of the village was
largely Italian. but little news of
their social and other activities was
allowed to get into the paper.
Writing a feature story on
small arsenal Of ancient weapons in
the American Legion hall, Grant
referred 10 the guns as relics Of
mans ingenuity at slaughtering his
fellow-man," and was called down
by several Of the legionnaires.
Backing up the village Board of
Aldermen on the question of fire
works on the Fourth Of July, Grant
wrote an editorial objecting to them
on the grounds that they promoted
war games in children. The owner
of the paper, however, didn't like
that angle and the editorial wasn't
printed.
Grant was criticized severely by
the Mayor and other officers Of the
village administration, as well as
the papers owner, for printing q
story on the unemployment situa-
tion in the village.
He reported the meeting Of the
board as it took place, quoting the
Mayor as saying that there was a
tough winter ahead and little hope
for any relief for the unemployed,
The Mayor told Of his futile at
tempts at obtaining work relief
projects from the government and
county and said that things looked
very disheartening, but he objected
to seeing this in print. The reporter
for the nearby city daily, present at
the meeting, had sense" enough
not to use the story.
The coming of the NR.A., with
its false promises and reams Of pub
licity, easily localized, from Wash
ington made Grants tasks little
lighter. 1t helped to fill the paper
and thousands of others like it.
Grant recognized the fascist color
of the Blue Eagle but knew that it
was useless to try to influence the
owner of the paper, who immedi-
stely saw advertising possibilities
He straightaway set Grant TO work
drawing up a full page layout to
sell to the merchants who signed
the code.
Grants paper along with thou
sands of others printed columns Of
hallyhoo about Mr.. Roosevelt
wonderful plan to rebuild industry
and bring back prosperity for the
ruling class at the expense Of the
workers.
Grant was fired without notice OF
pay advance for refusing to CO.
operate" and sell lot of advertis-
ing, although as he pointed out Ia
his boss he had been hired as a
reporter.
In an issue gotten out by his sue
cessor, which Grant brought away
with him, the president of the locs'
Chamber of Commerce advocated
that work and home relief be giver
only to those who signed the MIRA
consumers pledge. This issue also
contained the sensational bit o.
front page news that the only mer.
chant who remained outside tht
folds Of the Blue Eagles wings wa.
