The association is now operating out of temporary offices in the Congregational Universalist church in Woodstock, but is inquiring into the availability of its own office space in Crystal Lake, McHenry or Woodstock. Persons receiving aid from the association are only required to pay for services according to their ability to pay. This leaves a large deficit that must be met through fund-raising events, such ds the planned dinner - dance.

FLOWERWOOD ' is Blooming With Annuals and Perennials LEAVE WILD IN WILD The greatest favor a human being can do for any baby wild animal found is to leave it in the woods where it belongs, say Illinois Department of Conservation officials. The department frequently receives requests for information on how to care for seemingly abandoned wild baby animals during this time of year. Wild animal mothers do not intentionally abandon their young and the conservationists urged persons not to disturb nesting or roaming young animals. The mother is nearby and will feed and care for her offsprings according to wild and natural habit, the spokesmen said. Most wild animals don't live long in captivity. **** ITEM: Store untensils only one row deep on shelves so items are easy to see and reach. Big Change In West Campus Is Scheduled The McHenry school recently attempted to state the new high school philosophy and the history behind it. Now principals describe the way they hope to bring this set of beliefs to life at West Campus. The most obvious change is the schedule of classes. Traditionally, high schools have been organized around a six, seven or eight period day. Each'day's schedule was the same as the preceding day's schedule. Students participated in five'or six classes which met every day at the same time, with the same group of thirty youngsters for fifty or fifty-five mintues. "And nearly every student spent part v of this day in a study hall. Two of the major objectives stemming from the new. school, philosophy are the individualization of instruction and the aim to develop each individual's capacity to assume more responsibility for his own education. In attempting to implement the changes in the school that would come closer to meeting those objectives, the faculty found that one of its main barriers was the School schedule. After considerable research the staff found that there were many schools attempting to make the servant rather than the master of their school day. One method being employed by approximately 150 high schools waB the Stanford university school scheduling service or S4, as it is more commonly known. This is the type of schedule that will exist at west campus this fall. The program is being jnade a- ^ vailabe to west by the Measurment Research center of the University of Iowa, and basically it operates as follows. The traditional fifty-minute class meeting five times a week with its limitations on individulization of instruction, has been replaced by the more flexible concept of-twenty-five minutes units, or modules, which can be used singly or in multiples of two, three or even four. A student's schedule repeats each week, but each day is different. The structure of each of his courses is determined by the teacher. A schedule for a student or a group may be modified at any time without changing the overall structure of the school program. LECTURE TIME A portion of each student's time will be spent receiving instruction in large groups ( 50 to 200 in number). Here he may hear a lecture produced by one of the teaching teams or delivered by a guest speaker. Another portion of this time will be spent in small groups of six to fourteen students. Here students will interact with each other, discussing how the information they are acquiring is inter-related - discussing issues, dealing with ideas and evaluating their work. Since learning does not occur only in lectures, classes, or seminars, about 25 to 30 percent of each student's time will be unscheduled. This is referred to as independent study time. It replaced the study-hall and allows the students to exercise self-direction in the choices he has to make concerning the use of his time. This independent study time lies at the heart of the individual's activities at west. The amount of this time varies daily for each student and among students. At west, next year, students may, during their independent study time, 1 - Visit the library, student resource centers, teacher office or guidance counselor. 2 - Attend short courses dealing withvarious interests, examples might be slide rule, current affairs, holiday decorations and the film as an art form. 3 - Sit in on lectures or demonstrations in classes other than those they are enrolled In, or 4. Attend any of the laboratories that are open, to complete work or to satisfy a particular interest. Other spaces available for use during independent study time include exerciss room, music practice rooms0 the art roomc home economics rooms, health office and student commons. This commons is open throughout the day, not only for relaxation but for study and group discussions in an informal atmosphere. Many of the teach - student conferences will take place here. Principals are reasonably sure that all of the students at west will not be able to do a satisfactory job of using independent study time. If a student indicates that he cannot do satisfactory job, he will be placed in a supervised study hall. The schedule, then, is the most obvious change at west. However, it must be kept in its proper perspective. The schedule is a vehicle. It will allow something different in the school's educational program. With the flexible schedule the schools feel they may consider more of the alternatives in solving education problems.

INSURANC LOCKER PLANT INSPECTION Beginning July 1, two types of locker plants will come under jurisdiction of the Illinois Department of Agriculture. They are the custom plants dealing in farm - slaughtered livestock and the other plants that deal entirely with inspected meat, except the uninspected products properly wrapped prior to entering the plant for storage only. Operators of the custom plants cannot sell meat products. Inspection and sanitation requirements will be identical for both types of plants. The new regulations follow recommendations of the "National Advisory committee on Meat Inspection. Farmers may continue home slaughtering and taking the meat to a custom locker plant for processing for the farmer's personal use. The present your son wain its least...
