APPLY RESEARCH ... "The results of educational reâ€" search in the fields of learning, methods, subject matter, and curâ€" riculum â€" and such research is now considerable â€" should and can be applied to a planned, seâ€" quential course of study," Dr. Dahle said. * "These knowledges, skills, and attitudes must be intelligently, inâ€" corporated into a planned and seâ€" quential course of . study which will meet not only the immediate needs of the child, but also his ulâ€" timate needs as a successful, conâ€" tributing member of society," he continued. _ a I asked Dr. Dahle his concept of an effective educational program. This was his reply : "I believe in a soundly progresâ€" sive educational program," he beâ€" gan. _ "Such an educational proâ€" gram in my judgment is one which makes possible efficient achieveâ€" ment of the knowledges, skills and attitudes which are admittedly necâ€" essary for successful; happy, and rich living. hests Elaborating, he said every gramâ€" mar school graduate should be firmly grounded in the fundamenâ€" tals of reading, writing, and arithâ€" metic. At the same time he should be instructed in a highly persuasâ€" ive and unobtrusive way how to. appreciate even more his home;â€"his family, his town,â€"his‘state, and his country, J I met a smiling, cordial gentleâ€" man who made me feel at home at once. I met a man who is friendâ€" ly, easy to talk to, and a progresâ€" sive educator; a man to whom stuâ€" dents can come without fear; a man who will encourage and inâ€" spire; a man who ‘believes in the Yesâ€"toâ€"Life approach ; a man whose foremost interest is to educate the youngsters of Highland Park in the best manner possible . STATES HIS CONCEPT OF EDUCATION .. . A KINDLY GENTLEMAN . . . "I believe the youths of America should learn more about the great. ness of our nation. They should read more about our national heâ€" ros. They should know a great deal more about our industry, our agriculture, and the countless othâ€" er things that make America great, distinctive, wonderful," he said. I mpgn it was the adult longâ€" ing for those good old school days that took me to the pleasant office of Dr. Casper Dahle, new head of school district 107. If only youth could appreciate more fully his school years â€" usâ€" ually the happiest time of all . . . I wanted to meet the man who, with the aid of many fine teachers, will mold the youths of Highland Park. * Page 2 Summer is gone. Vacation time has passed. Leaves are changâ€" ing color.

W HILT T N.â€"SCHULT Z Let‘s Take a Look DUFFY & DUFFY Cleaners (Bpecial to The Highland Park Press) A Chat with an Educator FURNITURE By â€" "Judging by what has been done in Highland Park schools, I can say the children have had â€" and will continue to have â€" every opportunity ~to use and develop their creative ability, to underâ€" stand that only a constructive life is a complete orie; to realize the happy man is he who is striving to make a better world; to learn the little things in life are so imâ€" portant; and to know that to creâ€" lute goes hand in hand with a full ife." According to Dr. Dahle, primary teachers play‘ an extremely imâ€" portant ‘role in the training of children. . Kindergarten teachers, and teachers in the very early years, do more to moldâ€"a child‘s thinking ~â€" than â€" individual high school or college professors. WORSHIP AND INSPIRATION . . . "Children frequently come to school and worship their teachers. If the teacher is a good one, this great admiration can be used to inspire a child, to make him want to learn, to make him eager to unâ€" derstand what is inside and what is outside textbooks," .Dr. Dahle explained. > I asked Dr. Dahle his opinion on what I call the "creative apâ€" proach" to learning and teaching. That is, showing the student in any number of ways how important it is to meet life in a positive manâ€" ner, _ Or, how important it is to teach the youths of America to create, to build, and to improve. THE CREATIVE "I‘m a strong believer in teachâ€" ing children the value of a creaâ€" tive life," Dr. Dahle said. â€" : INDIVIDUALIZED INSTRUCTION ... Highland Park‘s children are forâ€" tunate in that they are taught in bright, cheerful classrooms, seat, ing an average of 25 students, This size lends itself to individâ€" ualized instruction. .It encourages discussion, responsibility, and acâ€" tive participation. _ It makes the student closer to the school, and to the teacher, and, in turn, the teacher is closer to the student. By better understanding the othâ€" er people of the world, peace can be maintained, it is believed. _ SEE WORLD PICTURE, TOO . .. ~ At the same time, he emphasized, it is vitally necessary for the youths of ‘America to see the world picture, and America‘s place in it. f It is, according to the nation‘s leading educators, the ideal way to Jearn. BEST WISHES, SIR ... I believe the boys and girls of Hlfimd Park are going to enjoy working <with Dr. Dahle and his r # # t n“es staff of excellent teachers. May the PRESS wish the new superintendent the best of luck in his duty of making Highland Park‘s Highland Park is losing two of its most popular citizens with the departure of Reverend and Mrs. children even finer youngsters.
