It is a growing thought in the theory of the “New Education.” With the child in mind, we must adapt our teaching and curriculum to pupils’ interests and attitudes and teach concepts that become meaningful to them. Let us then try to build our procedures so our pupils can take their places in the changing social order in which they find themselves, and so they can practice effective living in such an order at any later period. We shall have to change our aims and objectives from ‘acquiring of mere knowledge and a few fundamental facts” to creative self-expression, growth in capacity for wise use of leisure, improvement in social helpfulness, and development in the ability to plan and make choices. To help us fulfill some of these ambitions and to show us the way, we have turned to two outstanding people in’ the fields of Pupil Guidance and Social Studies, Miss Elizabeth Mechem of Ann Arbor and Mr. Lloyd A. Cook of Ohio State University. Miss Mechem comes to us from the University Elementary School of Ann Arbor. Quoting from Dr. Willard Olson, Director of Re- search in Child Development, he states, ‘Miss Mechem is the Psychometrician in the University Elementary School and in addition to mental examining has done case interviewing so that she has a real appreciation for the individual feeling side of the guidance program. She will do an excellent piece of work around the general theme of “Guidance for the Elementary Pupil.” Mr. Cook has been concentrating for the past three years on Social Studies, and has acted as consultant for both the Progressive Education Association and the Commission on Teacher Educa- tion of the General Education Board. At Ohio State University, as an associate professor in the Department of Sociology, he teaches courses in the College of Education which are largely concerned with this problem in schools of all levels.
