. Biennial report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction of the State of Montana . workshops, books, visualaids and improved texts are avail-able for improved teaching. Just as it is of great importancefor scientists and related workersto keep abreast of new discov-eries, so leaders in education seethe inescapable need for teachersat all levels to be informed aboutthe new unfoldings concerningchildren and how they learn; also,to be able to make such informa-tion practical. This accents thereasons why teachers now musthave added educational qualifica-tions; for instance, we now knowthat phonetic understanding is ofgreat importance, but that to someequally alert people it has littlemeaning. We also know that many more than was originally anticipated learned to read andspell through the finger tips just as the blind learn braille; that purposeful experiences are of greatimportance, and so on. Our schools are therefore, even with a shortage of teachers, doing more for more childrenthan could possibly have been done 50 years ago had all of the children stayed in Junior Class Play Cast—Shepherd -34- The population in our schools today has changed considerably in that we now find nearly allof the boys and girls of school age in Montana attending elementary and secondary schools. Thismeans that it has been necessary to change the courses formerly offered to provide for broad-ened curriculums in order to take care of the needs of this greater and more varied school popu-lation. Courses in commercial work and various other types of vocational education have be-come almost a standard part of the curriculum of most high schools and upper elementary of these courses are terminal at the end of high school while for others it is necessary tocontinue for several years more on the college level. In other words, the curriculums of schoolstoday have of necessity been revised to meet the changing needs of state and nation.
