Mrs. Rose c. Kramer, board
president, said some parents
have objected to the lack of uni.
form and systematic methods of
teaching such basic subjects as
grammar and spelling.
Another subject under fire.
quent fire has been the seventh
grade social studies course,
which includes the controversial
'life adjustment" unit.
To obtain a clear picture of
the public's views on curriculum

The county school board,
in a striking departure from
the policy of past boards, in
tends to exert a strong
future influence over what
is taught in the schools.
Present members unanimously
object to the boards traditional
passive role in curriculum devel-
opment, and want to play a
more active part in the drafting
Of academic requirements and
courses Of study.
Only in this way, they reason,
can the subject-m a alter be
brought more in line with the
wishes Of parents and other tax
payers.
At present, curriculum is for
mulated almost exclusively by
professional members of the
school staff, a state of affairs
that has not been challenged by
the boards predecessors.

Carey's Camp Trustees
May Allow More Tents
May Allow Expansion After Ten
Years OF @Status Quo"

The trustees of Carey's Camp,
near Millsboro, are considering the
idea of permitting the building of
more tents at the camp.
The circle" of tents, which is
actually a quadrangle with the
meeting hall . in The center, has
been complete for at least 10 years
with no chance of expansion
though for the past several years
many families have expressed the
desire either to buy or rent tent
Carey's Camp has been in OPP
Grafton for 20 years and many of
the tents have been in the same
families since the beginning. Dur
ing the past several years, the at
tendance at the To-day series of
services and musical programs has
increased, with a noticeable in
crease in young people.
But they have to come and go
for each service since there are
only AZ tents.
So this year the trustees decided
that they'd make it known as wide
ly as possible that they are ask
ing persons in this immediate COM
munity or surrounding commune
ties who consider this your camp
and want to see it progress and
would like to build new tent for
your use or to rent" and would do
so in 1859 or 1860, to get in touch
with the trustees before the end of
February. The tent building, If
permitted, would be "at rates and
under rules of the association"
The tents, of course, are actual
ly cottages with open fronts, fac
ing the camp meeting tent and
though the occupancy is brief, the
tents are attractively decorated.
improvements at the camp have
provided the chief source of dis
cussiOn for the trustees since last
summers camp, and additional
woodlands which join the camp
property have been purchased and
cleared for parking.
Officers of the Carey Camp asso-
citation are the Rev. c. E. wilkins,
chairman; Roy E.. Jones, vice
chairman; William Oliver Jones,
secretary, and Elmer Word, trea-
surer.
