. 4 - PLAINDEALER - FRL, JULY 26, 1968 USING THE PHOTOGRAPHY LESSON, A four-week session in Outdoor Education funded through 'Title 1 (Elementary Secondary Education Act of 1965) by District 15 was completed recently. The program, a pilot study, 'differed from the conventional learning situation in that the whole !.of the outdoors became a classroom. No formal textbooks, no 'daily homework, no written assignments and no tests met with the approval of the students enrolled. The class chose photography as the media to show evidence *>f their involvement. Numerous rolls of film were exposed, developed and printed by the studeiits to provide a permanent record *of their accomplishments. All students learned the elements of ^photography and assisted each other in accumulating photos ^covering all phases of their class activities. * Topics relating to science, social science and mathematics Mvere chosen by the group. These included plants and soil, water COLLECTING ROCK SPECIMENS AT WAUKEGAN. CROSSING DAM AT KETTLE MORAINE STATE PARK and related organisms, rocks and minerals, glaciated and unglaciated topography, soil, water, trees and wildlife conservation, map and field contouring, measurement of lines, volumes, and parallels, and the hydroponics activity. The group enjoyed the following trips: to the local gravel pit for the visual evidence of layered materials deposited by running water; to the Illinois State Parks and Morton's Arboretum for plant and wild life studies; to Kettle Moraine State Park, Wisconsin, for types of glacial moraines with the kettles or sumps caused by the melting of buried glacial ice; to the Apple River Canyon State Park, Illinois, for a study of unglaciated regions with their exposed limestone deposits and the viewing of the site of Millsville, a town washed away by uncontrolled water erosion; to Governor Dodge State Park, Wisconsin, for the study of hardwood forests mixed with evergreens and the sandstone deposits; to Tower Hill State Park, Wisconsin, to view one of the early industries of this region as well as the site of Helepa, a town abandoned when local miners were no longer to to paid in gold; to Galena to see the home and furnishings Of President Grant; to Waukegan pier to see the pier's effect on wave action as well as the effect on beach pebbles; and a trip to see water, soil, tree and wildlife management sites in McHenry county. In addition to the trips, studies in the classroom laboratory and on the school grounds were conducted. Students brought to the laboratory soil and plant samples, lake, river and spring water, rocks collected on trips and their exposed film to work with. They also set up a soil/hydroponics lighted table to compare the plants' growth under various conditions. Several experiences with the transit, sighting rods and steel tape gave valuable skills and knowledge about surveying and field contouring. These lessons were especially valuable to the group's trip with Mr. Clayton Bruce ^nd his collegues from the Soil and Water Conservation office of McHenry County. Hiis project was part of the summer school program offered by School District No. 15 under the direction of James Spencer, Junior high principal. The procurement of funds and general supervision was effectively handled by George Haasi, Director of Special Projects for District No. 15 and No. 156. The instructors were Eugene Maris and Carl Wagner. MENTAL HEALTH tPROGRAM SETBACK ZOF $12,000 TOLD (Continued from page 1) education program is being de- I" veloped through the services of I: a staff person employed for this > purpose with county funds. ? ' • MORE CALLS * While the center has been v able to increase staff time at vailable for patient services by about 50 percent with bounty mental health monies, additional staff -- two full-time psychiatric social workers cannot be employed at this time. With the public awareness of the mental health program becoming more well known, more calls have been received for services than ever before. While 603 calls were received in 1967, already in the first six months of 1968, there have been 398 calls to the center for services. While the additional staff is needed to handle the increasing number of referrals, new staff is also needed to take care of the current waiting list of more than 100 persons at the center and to develop new programs for providing mental health services to the county. The center staff and board of directors is presently engaged in studying ways to meet the increasing demands for services despite the cutback in funds. Meetings with state consultants in mental health programs in the county. It is almost certain that a curtailment in direct services to residents by Mental Health center staff will take place. However, persons in need of mental health services will be served through other sources in the community by referral and consultation. Crisis intervention by the center staff will continue and no one will be turned away without appropriate services.
