This set of thermometers is the summary of several similar sets
which appear in the evaluating committee’s survey. For each therm-
ometer shown here there are many others in the survey which give a
more complete break down for each heading represented on this chart.
This chart shows that Kingston Township High School in compar-
ison with accredited high school is above average in Instruction, Staff,
and Plant (50 on the chart represents the average of accredited schools).
Kingston Township Schools are below the average of accredited schools
in Curriculum, Pupil Activities, Library, Guidance, Outcomes and Ad-
Instruction

ministration.
In spite of all the loose talk on
the part of citizens and newspapers,
facts speak louder than words.
Here are.the facts concerning King-
ston Township High School. Facts
presented by the evaluating com-
mittee for the Cooperative Study of
Secondary Schools on February 24,
25, and 26, 1948.
Kingston Township Schools were
then under the direction of James
A. Martin, supervising principal.
Members of the evaluating com-
mittee who made the survey were:
Joseph S. Neidig, chairman, super-
vising principal, Quakertown High
School, Quakertown, Pa.; James A.
Adams, Dean, Wyoming Seminary,
Kingston; Victor F. Baiz, assistant
principal, G.A.R. = High School,
Wilkes-Barre; Jackson Bird, Head-
master, Wilkes-Barre Day School,
Forty Fort; Thomas E. Bradley,
assistant principal, Coughlin High
School, Wilkes-Barre; L. C. Bu-
beck, principal, Forty Fort High
School; Miss Anna Jones, Guidance,
Forty Fort High School; Miss Ava-
lyn M. Kiser, Home Economics Sup-
ervisor, Williamsport High School;
Miss Myre L. Williams, Librarian,
Kingston High School.
Their report follows:
The school’s statement of phil-
osophy is set forth clearly and
definitely and tends towards con-
servatism. In the objectives listed
the school’s philosophy is carried
out for the college preparatory and
business students but not for those
students whose aptitudes and in-
terests lie in the agricultural and
industrial fields.
Curriculum and Courses of Study
The committee found no courses
of study available or on file at the
school; however, after the arrival
of the committee the faculty hur-
riedly prepared outlines showing
the content of the subject matter
taught.
The Academic program seems to
provide the pupils with the neces-
sary abilities to continue further
education. A combined General and
Commercial course is offered in the
tenth and eleventh year with a
broad differentiation in the senior
year.
Recommendations:
“1, Heads of departments be ap-
pointed to, study curriculums and
courses of study in other compar-
able high schols.
9. The school recognizes and the
committee recommends that addi-
tional units be offered in Ancient
and Modern Languages, Homemak-
ing, Industrial Arts and Business.
3. Provide a place in the curric-
alum for additional instruction in
Vocal Music.
4. The Committee observed an
interest on the part of many stu-
dents in Art. This need is not met
by the present curriculum.
5. Provide a properly certified
Home Economics teacher and a
girls’ Physical Education teacher.
6. Reduce the teacher load so
that teachers have sufficient time
to do their best work in the offer-
ings of the curriculum.
7. Provide vocational courses for
those pupils whose aptitudes and
interests lie in that field.
Pupil Activity Program
Both the faculty and administra-
tion are aware of the need of a
strong activity program. This year
a period has been provided daily at
the end of the day for homeroom,
clubs and other activities. At pre-
sent it seems that the Instrumental
Music department has made the
greatest use of this extra period.
Many of the home room periods
have become study halls. This extra
period of the day has strong possi-
bilities for a good activities pro-
gram. The development of this pro-
gram is hindered by the heavy
teaching load of the sponsors. They
cannot give the necessary time to
confer with and guide student
leaders. Interest on the part of the
students and faculty is good. Pupils
have expressed a strong desire for a
student council, and the committee
recommends it. This could be co-
ordinated with the home room pro-
gram. Representatives of each home
room could report to their respec-
tive rooms the deliberations of the
student council. In turn each home-
room could review each item and
send their representative back to
the student council with their rec-
ommendations and ideas on other
subjects. This would vitalize the
home room program considerably.
The committee recommends that
a wider selection of clubs be made
available to the pupils and that the
school facilities be made available
to the pupils for more social affairs.
Students feel that the Auditorium
is being used by other groups when
they need it. They also recommend
at least one assembly program a
week.
Library
The library is ideally located in
the center of the school with good
illumination; ample shelving is pro-
vided and the dictionaries and en-
cyclopedias are well chosen and up-
to-date. 34
The librarian is not professionally
trained and does not have adequate
time to devote to the library be-
cause she carries a heavy teaching
load. She is carrying on a good
piece of work in view of her limited
training in the library field, time,
supplies and funds.
The committee found the follow-
ing absence of a budget for books
very disturbing and questions ser-
iously the allocation of $250 of
school funds yearly to Back Moun-
tain Memorial Library.
The committee recommends:
1. A full-time, properly certified
librarian.
2. Allocation of funds for the
purchase of books. The committee
was informed that no new library
books had been purchased for the
high school library for the past
few years with the exception of
reference books.
3. Allocation of additional funds
for magazine and library services,
such as the Abridged Readers
Guide, Vertical File Service, Wilson
Library Bulletin, Junior Literary
Guild, etc.
4. To provide, if possible, a work
room for the processing of new
books and the repairing of old
books by the librarian.

Summary of Evaluation Criteria, Kingston Twp. High School
FEBRUARY 24, 25, 26, 1948
Outcomes Staff Plant Administration
This does not mean that Kingston Township Schools are below the
average of unaccredited schools in general.
In fact Kingston Township Schools are approved by the State De-
partment of Public Instruction and have been for years. The purpose
of having them accredited by the Middle States Rating Association of
Secondary Schools and Colleges is that their graduates may enter with-
out examination those colleges which accept accredited school graduates,
without examination. A rating also shows the progress made in the
schools over a period of years and a good rating marks them as above
average for the country.
Students interested in art have
little opportunity to exhibit the
results of their work.
It is doubtful that many bene-
ficial results will come from the
present Physical Education pro-
gram. More attention should be
given to ‘the development of the
necessary leisure recreations for
participation in life-long physical
activities as well as correcting rem-
edial defects. The Physical Educa-
tion Program for girls should be
under the supervision of a certified
lady teacher.
The committee feels that the pre-
sent teacher load makes it difficult
for ‘the faculty to meet standards
of outcomes usually met in com-
parable schools.
CONTINUED NEXT WEEK
Guidance
There is no organized guidance
program, Incidental guidance is
given by some teachers and by the
high school principal.
The committee strongly recom-
mends the employment of a prop-
erly certified guidance counsellor
who would have sufficient time for
individual and group guidance. The
home room program would be an
ideal means of bringing the faculty
into the guidance program in a
practical way.
The field of testing is not broad
enough to support an adequate
guidance. program, Through the
pupil activity program ‘it would be
possible to give guidance in worthy
use of leisure time. A record sys-
tem of pupil data has been started.

It should be expanded so that in
addition to scholastic attainment
it would contain records on per-
sonality traits, ratings by different
teachers, records of standard tests,
health records, etc. In other words,
a complete picture of each pupil
would be in one folder. Teachers
should be urged to use these rec-
ords.
Instruction
In many classrooms pupils were
generally permitted free discussions
and took an active part in the reci-
tation. Textboks and supplies were
adequate in most departments.
The committee makes the fol-
lowing recommendations:
1. We feel that the instructional
program will be strengthened by
increased integration of the sub-
ject matter and methods within
departments and also closer arti-
culation with other teaching fields.
A departmental organization is
needed.
2. There is evidence that too
much of the instructional program
is based on a single text without
the inclusion of supplementary ref-
erences, research and numerous
other subject matter resources.
3. There is need of the employ-
ment of a wider variety of teach-
ing techniques in the stimulation
of pupil learning and activity. There
is some evidence to show that there
is apt to be too great a reliance on
a single method of presentation
and we feel that the use of more
varied techniques would be desir-
able. :
4, We strongly recommend the
much wider use of sensory aids in
the instructional program. Auditory
and visual aids should supplement
the other instructional materials
being used to a much greater de-
gree.
Outcomes
Records show that twenty-five
per cent of last year’s graduating
class entered college without
further preparation. This indicates
sufficient preparation for those tak-
ing the college preparatory course.
Another twenty per cent were ad-
mited to nurses training schools
and other schools below college
level. This is a good record.
There is a great deal of interest
in industrial arts.
The results of instruction can be
improved with more adequate li-
brary service. There is a lack of
voluntary reading through the en-
tire program. -
There is need for development in
creative and aesthetic outcomes in ration
the language arts through drama- transpoiichto
tics, panel discusisons, creative
writing, etc. y
There should be more opportun-
ities for both boys and girls to re-
ceive instruction in other phases
of music than band.
