Sun Patterns By JEAN FRONEBERGER "Children don't change much through the years," asserts Mrs.

Chowning O'Dell, her blue eyes twinkling as she watches her fourth graders at Burnet elementary school depart for home on the afternoon buses. Mrs. O'Dell, who has taught in Saytown schools longer than anyone else on the faculty, is in a safe position to make such a statement. She began her career in 1918, when Wooster had only a one-room school and grades 1-6 were taught by one teacher. Remembering this first school, 'Irs.

O'Dell remarks that although children have remained much the schools and classrooms have since then, end for the setter. Baytown's classrooms are less today, giving the teacher more time for the individual child, explains. With small classes, the teacher becomes acquainted vith each child, and becomes familiar with his background and Hutson Tells of School Board Problems School board member J. discussed "Problems Facing School Board in Providing Proper Facilities for Schools in This j-rowing Community" at a meeting Thursday of Ashbel Smith Parent- association in the school uditorium. The P-TA voted to buy new for the school.

The Troup will also give $5 to the P-TA council. Mrs. Earl Mize, publications chairman, announced that the P-TA is eligible for membership in the Bluebonnet club, having more than the required 25 subscriptions to the state Parent- Teacher magazine. Mrs. Earl thrift chairman, asked members to contribute a total of 70 bags to the Good- fellows.

The bags must be 21 by 25 inches, be equipped with drawstrings. A play, "The Pied Piper," was presented "oy the fourth grade room. Attendance prizes were won by Mrs. Mildred Brawn's fourth grade room and Mrs. Erma Leslie's first grade room.

anil Mrs. W. Kirkland, 108 East Fnylo. Grandparents Mr. and Mrs.

Fred C. Hopper of Wooster Mr. and Mrs. Earl Kirkland 'I Huntingdon, Tex. Her classroom is typical of those in Baytown elementary schools, with desks flexibly arranged around three walls facing 'the teacher's desk.

The children turn their desks around to get better light for studying, or to face different a contrast to the rigid straight rows of yesterday's schoolroom! Growing plants in the window provide a closer look at nature, and around the walls pictures drawn by the children in art class give evidence of emphasis placed on individual creative ability. Today's child also has less homework to do, Mrs. O'Dell adds with a smile. When all grades were taught in one room, children were given more homework because a teacher was hard-pressed to cover all the classwork school hours. With the present system, time is utilized so the children can do their work in class after the teacher has explained it to them.

This gives a child the advantage of having proper supervision to help him over the rough spots, whereas at home he often has to rely on guesswork to tell him if he is on the right track. Homework now usually consists of taking the work home to "proofread" it, with the child looking for errors to correct or improving his work if he wants to. Another improvement Mrs. O'Dell finds in the modern school is the use of the "group system." Her class is divided into three groups, with the children in each group given work according to their capabilities. Some students in the fourth grade, she says, have reached fifth grade reading level, while others are still on the grade level.

Under the group system, the student is given texts on the level of his ability. Thus teachers are enabled to promote a child from one grade to another along his age group, and are not forced to retard him merely because he is weak in one phase of the subject matter. The group system gives him a chance to catch up on the areas where his work is not up to par. In regard to teaching techniques, Mrs. O'Dell thinks methods of teaching come in cycles.

The use of phoenetics, once generally discarded, has returned again in many schools as an aid to teaching reading. The unit system is also being used again. This involves using one subject, usually geography, as the core subject around which, everything else is studied. The country studied in geography is used as the subject of English themes, spelling words arc taken from words used in discussion of the country, and sometimes arithmetic problems are are also constructed to tie in with the unit. However, Mm.

O'Dell says, teachers today don't usually go quite that far. Toi Hustrate how recently Class Votes To Meet On First Thursday Mrs. A. J. Odom had charge of a business session Thursday at a meeting of the Reapers class at Second Baptist church.

Mrs. Morrow spoke to the group on holiday decorations. used the system, She explained that the class was studying Swizerland in geography. The study of glaciers and waterfalls in this country fitted in perfectly with a study of electric power in the science course. Mrs.

O'Dell says that schools are provided with better facilities for the child's welfare. A teacher is proviided for handicapped children, and another teacher gives special training to children with speech defects. Schools co-operate with civic groups in testing children's eyes, and trained counselors are on hand to help the teacher understand causes behind a Child's behavior and attitudes. Mrs. O'Dell thinks the modern child has more opportunities for learning outside the schoolroom.

Travel, T-V, and special reading materials broaden his educational horizon and provide a valuble supplement to his classroom knowledge. Mrs. O'Dell, who says she "just drifted" into the teaching profes- gion, now has both her and master's degrees, and says she; wouldn't change jobs with anyonaj else in the world. Pausing for a moment, she "You know, if I think children get better every year. only regret is that when spring; comes and you become attached 1 a group of children, they have be promoted to the fifth grade!"
