WILLIAM HELLER NE 9-3871 Parents, Relax! Let Junior Do His Own Homework Study Panel Advises “Don’t do Junior's home-work for him,” was the plea to parents made at Wednesday evening's meet- ing of Citizens Committee For Bet- ter Schools. It doesn’t do Junior any good, and it deprives him of a sense of achievement which is necessary to his mental growth. Times have changed in teaching, and the approach to mathematics is different from the approach of even ten years ago. So-called “help” may in fact hinder, because it is confusing. Combined with the panel discus- sion program moderated by Dr. Irvin Jacobs, and comprised of Mrs. Louise Prothero and Robert Somer- ville from Dallas Senior High School; - Frederick Case, Mrs. Lena Moore, William Morgan, and Miss Esther Saxe from the Junior High School; plus William A.

The subject is English. During the panel discussion and the question period following, the new approach to mathematics was explained. Enrichment work on all levels was described as a challenge, more complex problems developing greater depth of understanding. Material in this type of work is being used to some degree by ele- mentary = school teachers, with every effort made to up-date in- struction, and testing for spot-weak- ness. Junior High mathematics in the seventh grade is a review of basic material with emphasis on practical ; application, and encouragement to- ward discovery of intriguing things about numbers. It bridges the gap between arithmatic and algebra, a required subject for college prepara- tion. “Pure mathematics” is taught in an entirely different manner. Possibility of accelerated courses in math was discussed. Dr. Robert A. Mellman said it hinged on the number of students capable of handling such advanced work.

Prompt aid by state police and turnpike employees “were at- tributed as saving the lives of both motorists. “We have no idea how many driv- ers are involved in accidents be- i cause of leaky exhausts,” Roberts said. Turnpike reports show .that more than half of the accidents so far this year involved but one ve- hicle. So Roberts said that motorists should have exhaust systems checked prior to winter months and at-all times drive with an open window. = Officer-collectors at the 38 inter- changes on the turnpike have béeh directed to urge motorists to check for exhaust leaks to prevent carbon | monoxide poisoning. es Ci State police will step up their routine checks of parked cars to determine whether sleeping. motor- ists have proper ventilation.
