10th Anniversary
Marked By State
JayCee Chapter

The tenth anniversary of the
Delaware State Junior Chamber
of Commerce will be observed
during Jaycee Week which start
ed on January l8. The annual
observance has been proclaim
ed by Governor ]. Caleb Boggs,
one of the organizers and char
ter member of the first Jaycee
Chapter, in Dover. Governor
Boggs was also instrumental in
organizing the Wilm in G o n
Chapter. Jaycee Week celebrat-
es the founding of the Junior
Chamber of Commerce in 1915
in st. Louis, the brainchild of
Henry Giessembier, Jr., who
called together members of a
st. Louis dancing club to form
the Young Mems Progressive
Civic Association. The name
later was changed to the Junior
Citizens, starting the abbrevia-
ton, "J.C." In 1918, the st.
Louis Chamber of Commerce in
vited the Junior Citizens to be-
come affiliated as the Junior
Chamber of Commerce. The af-
filiation was so popular that the
"St. Louis Plan" soon spread
to many cities in the nation.
The Jaycees, however, are no
longer an arm of the Chamber
Iof Commerce. Though the sim
ilarity in name remains, only
the aim of civic betterment is
similar. The movement spread
so fast that within a year the
United States Junior Chamber
of Commerce was formed with
"a cities represented. The organ
ization has reached such pro-
portions that today there are
more than 3,700 chapters in the
National Jaycees, with a quar-
ter million members. The Jay
Gee movement has also reached
to SIS nations and territories
with over 350,000 members in
more than 4,500 chapters. Jun
ior Chamber International, the
worlds third largest interna-
tional club, maintains headquar-
ters in Miami Beach. The United
States Jaycee headquarters is in
Tulsa, Oklahoma. Gov. Boggs
is celebrating his twentieth an
niversary as a Jaycee and was
presented a Jaycee Senatorship,
a lifetime honorary membership
in Junior Chamber of Commerce
International awarded to out
standing men who have contri-
buted to the Jaycee movement.

In.Service Study
Is Again Offered
Smyrna Teachers

On Monday of last wee k
teachers of the Smyrna Special
School District began another
in-service training course. The
course is entitled Proper Usage
of Audio-Visual Materials in the
Educative Process" 1t will deal
with the many thousands OF
such materials available to
Smyrna teachers and how the
teachers may 60 about obtain
ing them. Today, with so many
new items becoming available
every week, the job of selecting
what to use and what not to use
becomes ever a more difficult
one. One of the aims of this
course is to aid teachers in their
selection.
During the semester devoted
to the VA workshop all those
interested will be given the op-
portunity to learn to operate
numerous machines available to
them in the school district. Sew
eral machines have been added
in the past three years. Some
new A-V material was added
this year. With a teachers busy
schedule it is hard to keep up
with all advances in any one
specialized field. This course
will try to remedy that situa-
ton. All machines of the district
will be brought into the class,
and their operation and main
tenance studied. An important
part featured in this phase OF
the group work will be devoted
to emergency situations. Some
of this machinery is rather COM
plicated With an idea of how
to repair small things which
may go wrong during use, the
teacher will be able to continue
using the machine involved
without loss of class time to
himself and the students.
Outside speakers will join the
group to explain the newest
possibilities for teaching. Edu-
cational TV will come in fol-
Smyrna times., 1959-10-08

close examination too. Films to
help explain new techniques
and methods will also form part
of the course work.
1t should be noted that teach
ers taking the course do so on
their own time. They freely vol
unteer to take these in-service
courses to help improve their
own work. Smyrna teachers are
vitality interested in their pupils
and are glad to give up their
free time to make themselves
better able to serve the child
rem of the community. 1t is just
one of the many extras offered
in the Smyrna Special Schools.

notify parents to come for
children where roads are
blocked and give them the To-
cation of the bus to the near
est open road. Guards a n d
other children should be used
to deliver little ones w h e n
necessary. Drivers are not to
leave the bus with children
on it. Students will be given
an acceptable excuse when
side roads are actually block
ed so they cannot get to
school.
After gathering all infor =
