"EduCatiOn Moves Ahead"
Says P.T.A. Speaker

MO not be disturbed because education moves onn
was the advice given by Mrs. c. Mabel Smith, Green
belt School curriculum consu1tant to Greenbe1t par
ents at the Parent-Teacher Association meeting in
the school Auditorium Monday evening.
Mrs. Smith who for eight years was a member Of
the staff Of Teachers College, Columbia University,
reminded parents who become worried about the cur
rdcu1m used in modern schools that this as usually
because it is far different from that of their
own school days. "Educationa1 methods change and
develop just do Methods Of house hui lding and
transportation" she said. "Those same parents
would be very dissatisfied today with the amtomo-
bile in use at the time they in school,"
The Greenbelt School program for the primary
children--the first three grades-is concentrating
on study Of clothing. For the first few years Of
child's life the parents do everything for him,
things they must learn to do for themselves. Two
years the primary children studied food and eat
ing, Last year recreation. In studying clothes the
children will learn where materials cone from. how
garments made and how they should be cared for.
They may make few things for themselves.
The intermediate grades are studying community
living. This is Of great Importance in training
children for adult citizenship. The concept that
community Is an organism; changing and developing in
relation to the assumption Of responsibility by
those who live there is being taught to children and
not left to chance.

VOLUME 3 NUMBER -


most noteworthy example of comnuui ty service
was the work done by the Greenbe1t church women in
providing the two suppers for the Cooperative Isti
tute. They not only contributed to the Golfers of
their respective churches more than that they DEM
onstrated how smoothly, how abmdantly, how attrac-
lively comri ty suppers may be provided-given the
coordination Of effort; that is to say it was
practical demonsta ton of what practical coopera
ton is. Quite different from the enthusiastic.
flag-waving, irresponsible and nninte1ligent, let
sort of activity that often
brings disrepute to ccn ty suppers in parti cular
and cooperation in general.
These suppers were we'll planned. The long white,
candle-lit, ivy-1ined tables most attractive.
The food was good. The service, although not fast
was good;a given 18th right good will by smiling
young ladies. Nothing pretentious, everything
