The Gary schools; a general account . Reading 3:00—3:30 Reading 11:30—11:45 Language 3:30—3:45 Spelling 11:45— 1:00 Luncheon 3:45—4:00 Language The plant of the 24th Avenue school consists of fiveportables and an old one room rural school are two kindergarten and five first and secondgrade classes. Yet these primary classes go to threedifferent teachers and have three separate types of work:(i) the usual primary academic instruction; (2) specialwork, including Hterature, music, drawing, nature study;and (3) play. A moments consideration of the fourth grade pro-gram above given will indicate the problem and almostinevitably suggest the manner in which it has beensolved. The class in question has an hour of academic workwith a regular grade teacher the first thing in the morn-ing in, let us say, room 29. The next hour the class hasspecial work, let us say nature study, in the nature studylaboratory, for which purpose the class obviously vacatesroom 29 and leaves the grade teacher with whom it spent. ORGANIZATION 33 the previous hour; the third hour is given to academicwork of other kinds, for which it goes to another gradeteacher in, let us say, room 20; after luncheon it continuesits academic work, for which purpose it may go to room29 or to room 20—in either case, using only one of thetwo rooms it has occupied in previous academic work—this time presumably in a shop—carriesthe class somewhere else in the following period; physicaltraining leads next hour to gymnasium or playground;and the final hour is spent in the auditorium. In thecourse of the day, the class will almost necessarily haveoccupied two, perhaps three, different academic class-rooms, a laboratory, a shop, the gymnasium, and theauditorium. It is clear that if room 29 and room 20 and the teachersoccupying them are required by this class only two orthree hours in the day, some other uses must be foundfor both rooms and teachers during the rest of the day;tha
