CHANGE MANUAL'Ne;v Instructors Who Are Commg to Juneau 8 Teoch in Gradl e or High School for First Time | mNEAu ScHum_s " TRAINING WORK AT JUNEAU K. 8. Smith - Hugl; Vocational System to Replace Old Plan This Fall Manual training in the Juneau' High School this term will undergo a complete and thorough change.| The old system used in the past is to be discarded and the new system known as the Smith-Hughes work is to be substituted. This requires. considerable change in| methods of teaching and in making | up the schedule. The Smith-Hughes work is con-| ducted jointly by the City of Ju- neau and the Federal (‘ovemmem” Educational Policy. The teacher| relected had to meet the require-| ments of the Federal Government| rnd had to be approved by him.| Half of the expense of operaung} this style of manual training "isi borne by the Federal Government | and hence their desire to help de-’ termine the selection of the man as well as the planning of the sub- Ject matter to be taught. In the past students would take| one or two periods per day of man-| ual training and would work on various phases of cabinet making. | Some would make row boats, can-| oes, tables, taborets, efc. Under the | new Smith Hughes system a stu- dent desiring to take manual train-| ing must sign up for four hours per day. The shop period begins at| 8 a. m. and runs until 5 p. m.| This will allow two four-hour class-| es each day. Three hours will be! used daily in actual work and one‘ hour will be used in theory or ex-| planation or blue print reading, etc. How Selections Made | Students selecting manual train-| ing will select not more than two other high school subjects. For in- | stance, if a student selects manual training in the morning from 8 to! 12 then he might select English and | algebra for the afternoon. This| would still leave him but one free period, so naturally at least one subject would have, to be prepared at heme. Or if he seleets manual| training for the afternoon session | (due to 5 p. m.) then he should select not to exceed two other courses from the morning session. Credits will be allowed for man—‘ ual training work the same as in| the past with the exception that it will require two periods of shop‘ work to earn one credit. Hense four hours of manual training for one semester will earn the student two credits. Or if the student takes manual training four periods | daily for the entire year (two sem- | esters) he will earn four credits| per year. There is nothing to pre- | vent a student from spending the entire day in shop work and there- (Continued on Page Seven) \ CYNTHIA BATTSON: Home town, Wayzata, Minpn, attended Wayzata high school, Carlton Col- lege (one year), University of Minn. | (one year), and graduated from | Miss Woods Kindergarten and Pri-| mary School.
