school year"
AT one point the report says:
Every school in the state has
made an effort to enhance the
quality of it's science program. In
every case there has been improve
ment differing only in degree.
Some schools have programs which
rank among the very best. Some
OF the larger schools are falling
below the norm of improvement"
The survey points out that pro
fessional leadership and supervis-
ION or the sciene program is need
ed primarily because of the rapid
change and growth in science Of
ferings these days" This deficien-
cy is now being remedied with the
appointment of a full-time super
visor Of science.
From missionaries presented
TO science teachers and visits
made to all secondary schools, the
survey found the following spe-
cific conditions:
/. Sixty per cent of all students
in grades 9-12 were enrolled in
science courses in 1960-61 as COM
pared with $3.50 in 1957-5S.
2. Science courses are believed
to be improving generally due in
part to the purchase of additional
facilities with federal matching
funds.
3. Many Of the smaller schools,
nom QlQmnnfprU nd cnnnndarV
are too small to offer adequate
science programs for today
4. In the junior high schools
about one-third of the science
classes have no science laboratory
facilities. and about one-fourth of
the science teachers reported a
lack Of science equipment.
5. Relative to certification to
teach science, 10 of 16S, or $50
or the science teachers meet state
icertification requirements.
6. A number of high schools are
onering advanced science courses
at the 18th grade level.
THE survey shows" states DR..
Row, that there are indications
ihdl III at least some OF our high
schools the science work is as
good as any in the country"
One part of the survey gives
some OF the comments made by
science teachers on the question
naire. Many of these teachers
make the same plea: Give us
fewer pupils and more time" Such
statement probably stems from
the fact that science teachers can-
not do an effective job when they
must meet between $50 to 200
pupils per day. This is too many
pupils for the type of program
that is expected of the modern
nigh school," states DR.. Row.
The survey was conducted bv
Virgil B. Wiley. retired supervis-
ing principal from Bridgeville
School District, who last year held
the position of State Supervisor of
Science on a temporary basis.
This study is the first compre-
hensive survey of science educa-
ton in Delaware public schools"
according to DIR. Row, land it will
become a base point for further
evaluation in the future"

CHILDISHLY SIMPLE

MEANWHILE, Pa. up - Many
problems can be solved by simple
solutions. Take for instance 10
year-old Danny Sippy's solution to
the problem Of rescuing a Hedging
robin.
The bird fell into 30-inch
deep hole in the cement block wall
of garage under construction.
The hole was only 4 inches by L "
inches and workmen were stymied
as to how to get the robin out.
Then along came Danny. He
took bucket full of sand and
slowly poured it into the hole SO
that as the hole filled the robin
was elevated. After about an hour
Danny was able to pick the bird
from the hole.

Germantown
By Deborah I'll. LEM, WAverly 6-O692

The elementary schools at
Germantown, Jamestown and
Cedar Grove all report a salts
factory response to their Open
House program last week in OBJ
servance of American Education
Week. A goodly number of
visitors appeared at each school,
particularly on Friday, Novem-
Der 10. Since this was feder-
al holiday because Veterans
Day fell on Saturday, mum.
Der of both fathers and moth
ers were able to visit.
Representing the German
town School at the School Board
Open House on November IA
are Mrs. Joseph Lafleur for the
P-TA and Toni Marshall for the
student body.
Safety Patrol of the Week at
the Jamestown School was
Francis Johnson, elected by the
school patrols.
Fifth graders at Jamestown
have elected Billy Foster as
fift-grade substitute patrol, and
Cathy Smith and Jack Weber
as alternate patrols.
The Fall Gardening Project
is being carried out at the Ger

H. Glenn Bradley, nuclear sci
enlist with Atomic Energy Com
mission, returned November 8
from an overseas assignment in
Beirut, Lebanon, where he as
sisted with the Atoms.at-Work
Exhibit. Mr.. Bradley worked
with the coordinating of the
technical program at the ex-
hibit for local scientists who
participated in the Technical In
stitute, which was part of the
exhibit. A science demonstra-
ton program was a part of the
Technical Institute, and al
though this was intended pri-
marily for secondary teachers,
they in turn brought their
classes.
Since laboratory work is not
so usual in Lebanon as here, the
demonstration proved a most
popular part of the exhibit, and
extra sessions had to be set UP
because of the demand. Report
ing that he learned a lot, and
met a lot of people, Mr.. Bradley
admitted that his schedule in
Beirut was a most intensive and
wearying one. The exhibit lasted
from October 8 to November 8,
but during that time, Mr.. Brad
ley spent one week in Vienna,
Austria, where he attended the
International Conference of the
International Atomic Energy
Agency. He presented a paper
