Patrick Henry u736-1799),

before the Second Virginia
Convention, meeting in
March, IT'S, at st. Johns
Episcopal Church in Rich

Virginia militia for the COM
ing struggle for freedom. He
closed his impassioned plea
for action with these words:
"IS life so dear or peace so
sweet as to be purchased at
the price of chains and Slav-
cry? Forbid it, Almighty
God! I know not what
course others may take, but

Junior Highs in Area

investigators probably got
some of their ideas" from Local
schools. "One of them visited
us during the study" he said
"and described our junior
highs as excellent"
Already Come Close
"It's really dramatic how
close we already come to DR.
Conant's ideas of what good
Junior highs should be-" an
other local educator said when
shown the report.
For example:
Without an exception Wash
ington area junior highs do not
indulge in frills. DR.. Conant
said students at that level
should not have marching
bands, majorette corps and
graduation ceremonies. None
here does. DR.. Conant said the
students should spend that
time learning.
The educator also advised
against interscholastic sports.
A number of area jurisdictions
hold intramural events at the
junior high level but only the
District has interscholastic
programs. and then only in
basketball and track.
DR.. Conant said the Junior
high period is the time to re-
quire all boys to take physical
education and industrial arts,
and all girls home economics.
All area jurisdictions do make
those requirements for at least
one of the three junior high
years, and some of them for
two years.
All local school systems also

over or under exposure will
result in colors on film that
are deeper or lighter than
those of nature. Lacking a
meter, shoot a couple of extra
shots on your more important
sceneS-one at a wider lens
opening and another at a
smaller opening than the
first. At least one Of the three
should give you a satisfactory
color shot.
If you plan to take some
color portraits along the way
be sure to avoid having the
subject too close to some
large strongly colored OBJ
ject. Let's see why.
If, for example, you are
posing your wife near a red
barn. her face, as a result of
reflections from the build
ing, would have a reddish
cast. Again. a subject dressed
in a white skirt, and posed
seated on a green lawn might
appear to have a greenish
skirt in the color picture. AS
a matter of precaution, take
a good look at any light
colored garment just to make
sure that it is not being un-
duly influenced, colorwise, by
some nearby color mass.

We are often asked the
question: What grade of
paper should a normal mega
tive be printed on?" This
usually calls for a No. 2 con-
trast paper. However, we
also keep a stock of No. l
and No. 3 contrast papers on
hand for very contrasty and
low contrast negatives, re-
spectively.
Another common query re-
CARDS the comparative value
OF a fast or slow shutter
speed. We feel that both are
important for specific appli-
cations, but in general pic
ture-taking you'll find you'll
be using your slower speeds
many more times than your
faster ones.

CAMERA ANGLES
Color Picture Topics
Plentiful in Fall
BY A. ]. WEDDERBURN
Contributing Writer

With the coming of fall
and its beautiful pastel
shades, a great many turn to
color photography in earnest.
Most any modern camera and
its load Of color film will
furnish us with endless color
slides or negatives for top
quality prints.
Very shortly now there
will begin the annual color
show of nature, both in the
nearby countryside and
right here in the city itself.
Some Of the most colorful
and spectacular garden flow
ers. such as the dahlias and
chrysanthemumS, are avail
able for still-life pictures.
The maple is a tree that
has a wide color range from
light yellows to deep reds.
The fiery gum tree is another
top camera subject.
Avoid Masses
With so much color at
hand there is a tendency on
the part of many to attempt
to jam in as much as possible
in each shot. An occasional
long shot showing a huge
mass Of color is acceptable
but for the more impressive
pictures try to confine COM
position to a single branch.
group Of leaves or flowers.
Seek and keep a center Of
interest for each photograph
that you take. Instead Of
trying to include the entire
countryside. break down the
large area into a number of
smaller compositions and
shoot each one individually.
Locally there are numer-
Gus parks were you can find a
wealth of subjects for your
color camera. Then, too, the
famous Skyline Drive is with
in easy reach Of those who
are looking for a days cam
era trip to the countryside.
Meter Helpful
For color accuracy we sug-
! gest that you take along an
exposure meter. For the best
color rendition each shot
should be metered because

require that Junior high stu
dents be provided with guid-
ance counselors, again in ac-
cordance with DR.. Conant's
newly released recommended
tions. A few do not provide as
many as the educator calls for,
but DR.. Conant said that coun-
selling from year to year is not
too advisable, anyway.
DR.. Conant urged $ASt Jun
ior high students be tauge.ee'
a foreign language, but never
for one year only. He called
for at least two years of train
ing. Many Junior highs here
offer more.
He also called for emphasis
at the junior high level on
English. science and history.
Without exception, the area
schools already do so-many
of them Offering extensive re-
medal work, particularly in
reading and English compost
ton. Most area students also
are required to take at least
one year of music and/or art,
just as DR.. Conant recon-
mended.
Only in one major regard do
the areas junior highs fall
short of the Conant recon-
mendations. The educator
called for the junior high day
to be seven periods long, so
minutes per period. Most jun
ior highs here have six 50-min-
ute periods a day. The excep-
ton is the District, which has
the seven recommended in the
report.
Particularly striking was the
fact that most area school
systems offer such advanced
subjects as algebra at the jun
ior high level, but only to the
brighter students. The Conant
report says algebra should
definitely be offered, but only
to students who want it and
can handle it,"

Needs of Junior Highs
Spelled Out by Conont
doing below-grade-level work
in reading and arithmetic.

doing below-grade-level work
in reading and arithmetic.
Days Are too Short
The school day should in
clude seven 50-minute periods,
or nearly seven hours (many
educators prefer a six-period,
six-hour day.. This is not an
excessive amount of time in
most communities. Some school
days are entirely too short"
The daily class schedule should
be flexible enough so that the
pupils don't have to choose be-
tween, for example, science and
foreign language.
Grouping pupils into sep
.arate classes according to their
ability is a controversial prac-
tice but, said DR.. Conant, "to
my mind, to mix in an English
class boys and girls reading
three years below grade level
with those reading three years
above grade level is to do
everyone concerned an injus-
tice."
"Meaningful homework is
profitable in grades seven, eight
and 8; drudgery, however, is
not meaningful homework" A
progression from one hour Of
homework in grade seven to
two hours in grade nine is not
excessive. But the assignments
must be co-ordinated so that
no one teacher uSurps too much
time.
Bare minimum facilities in
Grades z and 8 are: A WELL
stocked library. gymnasium
with locker rooms and showers,
specially equipped home eco
nomics rooms for girls and in
duStrial arts rooms for boys,
auditorium or assembly space
for at least half the student
body, and cafeteria space foP
at least one-third of the
student body. Also desirable
are special rooms for art,
music and science.
Coordination Stressed
There should be careful CO.
ordination in each of the sub
ject areas from kindergarten
through the 18th grade. There
is no sense in starting algebra
in grade 8 if appropriate
courses in sequence are not
available in grades 9 through
IL.
! There should be a minimum
of 80 professionals for each
1000 pupils and "housework
duties of all teachers should
be minimized. No other duty
takes precedence over class
room instruction"
DR.. Conant noted that there
are many variations of the
Junior high school: Sometimes
it is a separate two-year school,
sometimes a three-year school,
sometimes grades. Z and 8 are
tackled on to the top of the
grade school or at the bottom
of the high school.
However, the important
thing, he said, is not how it
is organized but the program
it offers.
He urged school boards not
to interfere in matters which
he said should be left to the
schools administrative staff,
particularly in three areas:
The appointment of teachers,
judging the quality Of teach
ing, and details of course con-
tent and the choice Of text
books.
The report is being sent to
school superintendentS for dis
tribution to the school boards.
