Church, Wilmington told members
of the Smyrna Rotary Club at the
10th anniversary meeting of the

Little Things" and he told of the
tremendous part they play in life;
that it is the habit of Americans
to see and do things in a big way
and lose sight of the Importance
of small things. Response was
made by Rev. F. M. Barton and

HIGH SCHOOL
FACULTY MEET
Assignment and Teaching
Techniques Subjects Dis
cussed at Monthly Meet
MRS. .HEILAND CHAIRMAN

At the regular monthly meeting
of the Faculty Club of the John
Bassett Moore School here ON May
6, Mrs. Viola McGill, head of the
Home Economics Department, de-
clared that proper assignments are
the key to success in broadening
the educational experience of each
student. All assignments, said
Mrs. McGill, must seek to tie sub
ject matter closely to the individ-
uaps needs and experiences. Mere
assignment of extra textbook
work" without reference to needs
and experiences is of doubtful ed
ucational value. Coupled with the
proper assignment as an important
technique of teaching is the ability
on the part of the teacher to ques-
ton the student directly, clearly,
and logically to achieve the desired
educational stimulation. Mrs. Julia
Slaughter, in further discussion of
teaching techniques, outlined all
types of testing and evaluated
each. Testing, said Mrs. Slaugh-
ter, is as necessary in teaching as
auditing is in accounting. 1t is a
necessary control, not an end in it
self. Mrs. Pauline Matthews, in
concluding the discussion of tech
niques, stressed the Importance of
planning as a prerequisite of sue
cess in teaching. Plans must en-
visage not only all of the desired
results for the group, but also all
of the additional goals made desir-
able by each individuals differ
ences. Plans should have prede-
termined goals, but should be fiex-
ible enough to take full advantage
of all learning situations which
may arise Independently of the
planning. Mrs. Florence Heiland,
chairman, responded.

FOOD DRIVE
TOOPEN MAY IL
School, Churches And Other
Service Organizations Re-
quested To Aid In Drive
TO END MAY q

Acting directly upon the request
of Mr.. Henry A. Wallace, National
Chairman for Emergency Food
Collection, Mayor S. Creadick En-
mis- and members of Council are
cooperating on this humanitarian
campaign. Letters are being for
warded to the school, churches
and other service organizations in
this town, requesting that they
lend their wholehearted support to
this drive. Each group contacted,
has been requested to formulate
plans for collecting canned foods
and cash for famine relief. Special
emphasis has been given to the
collection of canned milk meats and
fruits. No food packed in glass
can be accepted due to the possi-
BILE damage that may occur in
shipment. Cash contributions will
be received by the various commit
tees appointed from the local or
ganizations. Money contributed
will be turned over to the National
Chairman for Emergency Food
Collection. The total sum received
will be used to buy food at whole
sale prices for the starving popu-
lations of selected areas in both
Europe and Asia. 1t has been
pointed out that cash donations
will procure more food relief for
those in need, since q gift of this
nature does not necessitate addi-
tional expenditures for collecting,
packaging and transporting indi-
vidual cans. 1t is to be hoped
that the citizens of this community
will give their unselfish support to
this drive which will end on May
21st. Each contribution received
will mean so much to those in
need.
