A 5 YEAR REPORT
Prepared by Smyrna Education Association Committee

The Smyrna Education Association presents report
the progress the Smyrna Special School District schools
have made during the past five years This presentation
is made to celebrate American Education Week. the theme
of which is Your Schools: Progress Report" The
EA hopes to make positive contribution toward Great
ing greater interest in American Education Week well

mets of schools in obtaining better education for the
youth of this community recent point of progress

are respected beyond the bord-
ers of the district" | think that
other districts, large and small,
realize that our program is a
good one, and that our schools
are striving to do the best for
their students"
INTERVIEWER: We are
looking at elementary schools
in this issue of our progress
report" What do you think is
the main strength of our ele-
mentary schools?"
DIR. KIRK: Dedicated, hard
working teachers. Teachers are
the backbone of any good school
system. Naturally these teach
ers need to be adequately sup
ported with rooms, equipment,
textbooks, and moral support
by the community. l think it is
strange that so many people
give lip-service to this idea, yet
deny it in a number of other
ways"
INTERVIEWER: "In VIII a
ways?"
DR.. KIRK: well, one of the
more subtle ways is that of
running the teacher down be-
fore children at home. Children
do not give their best to a
teacher they do not respect
Every teacher tries to get the
student to respect his parents
for children will not obey g
parent that they do not respect
Parents should try to get the
pupil to respect the teacher

beginners in 1856 to about 65 at
the present time. Any of these
instrumentalists who have reach
ed the required level of ability
may join the Smyrna Junior
Band. This band has been able
to perform in local and county
concerts during the last two
years.
In order to acquaint the pu-
pil with better known works of
art, excellent reproductions OF
famous masterpieces have been
placed in the Railways.
A much more extensive test
ing program is now under way
to check the progress of each
child in the various subject
fields as we'll as to check the
rating of Smyrna children as
compared to others over the ma
ton who take the same tests.
These tests help the teacher
better understand the needs of
each child.
Finally, the members of the
elementary staff have sought to
improve the many competenc-
les they already have and to
acquire new ones by additional
course work, professional read
ing and educational travel SO
that they can do an even better
lob of educating the children
of the Smyrna Special School
District.
Smyrna times., 1961-11-02

Individual conferences with
parents have been initiated to
give the parent a more complete
picture of the child's school a.
chievement. These evening get
togethers have also brought
about a closer parent-teacher
relationship.
To further insure the good
health of our children, new
equipment such as an eye test
ing chart has been added to
the nurses clinic and more SER
vices are being undertaken by
our registered nurse and the
local physicians of the com
munity. The new cafeteria, with
it's modern equipment provides
wholesome and sanitary lunches
for everyone. A milk break
has been instituted in the first
and second grades to supple
ment the needed energy for the
youngest m e m bers of our
schools.
In the field of music much is
being done to encourage self
expression through two fine
programs presented to the pub
lie at Christmas and springtime
each year. Choruses are now
chosen annually from the 4th,
5th, and 9th grades to partici-
pate in the Elementary Vocal
Festival in Kent County. The
elementary instrumental pro-
gram has grown in size from 20

Thomas D Clayton School Reports

The Thomas D. Clayton Ele-
mentary School has progressed
greatly through the addition of
much needed building space.
One new classroom and one
conference room have been add
ed as well as q new storage
area andl vitality needed nurs-
es' room. the interior of the
entire building has been recent
ly redecorated, including new
bululetin boards and bookcases
for each room. A modernized
time system has also been in
stalled as part of the latest pro-
gram for progress in the school
plant. At the present time an
entirely new building is in the
process of being constructed to
fulfill the need for additional
space caused by the greatly IN
creased enrolment in this dis
trict.
The nurses clinic which T,
d. Clayton now has enables a
nurse to visit the building each
day and carry out the all-im-
portant program of health SER
vices to the pupils. The new
equipment includes a good

Local Elementary
School Reports

During the last five years
many impr ov m en- S in the
Smyrna Elementary School have
come about, both large and
small.
The services of additional
staff members have been pro-
cured such as: art and gym
teachers, full time nurse, and
an elementary school librarian.
Also a program of intermural
athletic competition has been
initiated.
The district now has and is
constantly improving its new
elementary school library. Be-
sides reference works and lit
erature suitable for elementary
school children, it also contains
many resources to aid the teach
er in her instruction, such as:
a film library, picture library,
and a professional library so the
teacher may keep abreast with
the most recent developments
in the educational field.
The teacher also has new
equipment at her disposal that
may be used to improve the
educational opportunities of the
child right in his own class
room. The best and most re-
cent encyclopedias suitable for
the intermediate grades have
been purchased and are in each
room. A portable science lab
oratory provides for demonstra-
tion of many scientific expert
ments right in the classroom.
Also, newly developed reading
laboratories enable the teacher
to diagnose and correct each
child's reading difficulty on an
individual basis. This provides
for individualized instruction in
a group setting. New filmstrips,
a protector and screen have
been procured for enrichment
in many subjects.
Special provisions have also
been made for a wide range of
individual differences. The dis
trict has provided remedial in
struction for willing students
during the summer vacation as
we'll as during every school day
for those who need special help
in the reading field. Reading
groups are maintained on sew
eral levels in every classroom
to provide for individual needs.

An Interview With Our
Superintendent

On American Education Week
it seemed fitting to talk to some
of the persons responsible for
education in the Smyrna Dis.
trict. The organizers of this
page, therefore, have interview
ed DR.. George v. Kirk, Super
intendent of the Smyrna Spec
ial School District since July
1856.
INTERVIEWER: "Dr. Kirk,
what do you think of Smyrna
and its schools?"
DR.. KIRK: 81 am very happy
with Smyrna and its schools.
Before | came to Smyrna in
1856, l took a long hard look
at the community. After all, ]
had a good position in Seaford,
and / thought that they had fine
schools. l want my own chill
dren to go to good schools. ]
thought then that Smyrna had
good schools, and a community
that could continue to support
good schools"
INTERVIEWER: Then you
feel that other communities
think that Smyrna has good
schools, too?"
DR.. KIRK: Eyes, l do. The
Smyrna Board of Education has
recently had survey made by
a team of consultants from Ed
ucational Research Service oi
Pennsylvania State College. Thi.
entire survey will be released
to the press in the very neal
future. One line can be quoted

ing purposes and audiometric
equipment for hearing tests.
Physical examinations are now
given to all pupils in grades l.
4, and 7 by physicians as well
as needed immunizations and
dental examinations.
The faculty of Thomas D.
Clayton has sought to enrich
their teaching programs by TAX
ing the pupils on many field
trips which tie in with the cur
riculum areas of study. A broad
casting station, bakery, dairy
farm, fire house, the Franklin
Institute, Philadelphia Zoo and
Planetarium as well as spots of
historical interest were among
the places recently visited.
Other items of interest and
progress may also be mention
ed such as yearly Christmas and
May Day operettas, mid-after-
noon milk breaks for the first
and second grades, newly re-
vised report cards which are
used throughout the district and
at the present time all teachers
are working to write a curri-
culum guide intended to inn
prove teaching efforts in all
grades.

Pussy Willow
Pest Explained

Many gardeners having pussy
willow trees are undoubtedly
wondering what the large silver
scale-like things are that, in
some cases, almost cover the
leaves. 1t is the willow blister
gall.
Prof. Wallace C. Harding, jr.,
Of the Department of Ento-
mology of the University Of
Maryland identified the pest.
He advises that their appear
ance in this area is periodic
and that they may be greatly
reduced in numbers next sea-
son. However, he suggests that
heavily infested leaves might
be removed and burned but
this does not mean that the
tree should be defoliated. To
remove most or all of the leaves
would greatly weaken the tree.
Next spring when the leaves
begin to expand they should be
sprayed with DOT to control
these pests. To be effective
they must be killed before they
sting the leaf cells and produce
the canker like houses in which
they live through the summer,
safely out of the reach of any
spray or dust. w. H. Y.
