cording to Smithers Snow, Jr.,

GROUP STUDIES
NEW CONCEPTS
Smyrna High School English
Dept. Seeks to Establish
New Curriculum
AMO HEADS COMMITTEE
I'D Bal the high school library.

The English Department of
Smyrna High School has been
meeting on a bi-monthly basis to
formulate a neW curriculum of
English. The group, headed by
the chairman of the English De-
partment, Miss Mary B. Amo, has
been meeting every other Wednes-
day to bring a new and orderly
concept to the teaching of this
all important subject in every
high school grade level. The Eng
lish Department felt that they
may have been some overlapping
in the teaching of the subject. The
new course of study, which the
group hopes to complete soon, will
overcome any possibility of such
overlapping in the future. The new
curriculum begins with an order
ly study of the rudiments of the
grammatical structure of the
language and develops into sci
entific study eliminating in what
is hoped will be much fuller
and more complete understanding
of the tongue we use so frequent
ly in all our daily dealings. Lit
erature's place in the new study
program will be more definitely
defined. In this field, many nova
tions in the junior high school are
planned. Full details have not yet
been announced, but changes are
planned on both the junior and
senior high level. Creative writ
ing will also play a much more
prominent part in the students
course of study. The State OF
Delaware is also at work on a
curriculum revision in English.
But Smyrna is not waiting for the
completion of this study before it
acts. The faculty at our school
feels that it must constantly move
ahead, constantly raise the al
ready high standards of learning.
which exists in our schools It is
the duty of a school to provide
the best possible opportunities of
the young to learn. SIN yrn a
Schools fully realize this grave
responsibility, and are acting ac-
cordingly. This is just one more
facet of the Smyrna Special
School Districts Look to the
future" ideas.
