Alaska Education
 Program Discussed Al p:TA Meeiinq

Revision of the course of study for the territorial schools was dis cussed by members of the Terri torial Department of Education at Parent Teachers Association meeting last night.
 pr. Dorothy Novatney, deputy commissioner of education, explain cd that the course of study was first written in the early 1920s and that the course was changed in the 1930's and again in 1941. A clarnication was needed in 1947 with the actual work just begun, she said.
 There arc to be four handbooks in the course of study she said. There are to be handbooks for the primary, intermediate and upper grades and one for the teachers, making a total of four books"
 Kenneth s. Clem, education SUD- orvisor, discussed the course of study revision for the upper grades.
 
 Concern Whole child
 "Education is concerned with the whole child" he said. Develop ment of the whole child is more im- portant than just one or two phases for the child. More is expected of the more able and less of the less able students. We are concerned with children and their develop rent."
 Clem stressed that reading and writing have been changed to prac- tical use and that arithmetic is no icnser an abstract thing but will be taught from he.practical use view rcint. Spelling is now more closely associated with actual use in as- sociated subjects. This practical viewpoint will be carried through out the balance of the subjects taught in the upper grades. Miss Lois Mercy, education sup ervisor in the department of ed- ucation, is working on the revision of the course of study for the ele- mentary grades.
 Changes in Course
 Changes in the course of study arc based On observations and re- search carried on for a period of years on the mental and social de- velopment of the child, she said. Each child must take his own speed in development and provis- ion must he made for this in the revision of the course of study , The revision must meet the needs of all localities in Alaska so that the same revision can be used in places such as Anchorage or Marys 1gloo.
 A short discussion of interna- tional relations through the stu dent exchange was given by Miss -tPatffcia Oakes. She asked that for eign exchange students on the cam puscs be given a chance to see mere Of America than just on the eanlpuses.
 Max Lewis, art teacher for the Juneau public schools, announced that the Colonial Art Exhibit will be open Wednesday evening from T to 8:30 o'clock in the grade school gymnasium. An admission of 25 cents a person will be used to pur- chase more pictures for the schools.
 Group singing of Christmas car- els and Q violin solo by Mrs. Cor line Kenway opened the meeting.

Grape Spray
Controls Disease

When grapes are nearly mature,
put on the last spray needed to
control insects and black rot di-
sease.
J. M. Amos, insect and disease
control specialist, says spray Of
bordeaux mixture (4-6-100) or
fermate will cotnrol brown rot;
but if early sprays have not been
applied before this time to pre-
vent the disease, control will be
difficult. Follow directions on the
container, and do not apply later
than three weeks before harvest.
Methoxychlor may be added to the
spray if insects are troublesome.
If spray residue is a problem,
Amos suggests dipping the grapes
in a solution of one part vinegar
to five parts water, then rinslng
well with clear water.

Heavy Egg Consumption
Predicted for Year

Each American civilian likely
will eat an average of 406 eggh
in 1851, IL more than last years
record consumption, and over 100
more than during the five years
before World War II.
D. L. Livermore, poultry mark

even in the third quarter Of 1851
when retail prices are expected
to be we'll above the relatively low
level of year ago. In the last

the same as a year earlier.
