Annual conference
for elementary
teachers is held
The annual pre-planning confer-
ence for elementary teachers was
held''fr&m 8:30 to 11:30 am.,
Tuesday, Aug. 30 it South Ele-
mentary School with Miss Mary
Ann Vaughan of the American
Book Co. serving as consultant for
grades 1, 2, and 3, and Don

Plains College, consultant for
grades 4, 5 and 6. Miss Vaughan

strations while Stroud conducted

conducted by Mrs. J. Ernest Rails-
back, elementary coordinator, and
the following elementary school
principals: T. H. Dobbs, L. F.
Rawson, Rex Hardin, Charlie
Speed and L. G. Griffin.
Miss Vaughan demonstrated dif-
ferent methods by which children
could enjoy music byy singing,
through rhythm and self expres-
sion. She discussed ways in which
music could be correlated with
science, health artithmetic, and
safety. She also discussed ways
that music could be taught to
children by class room teachers in
grades 1, 2, and 3, even though
the teacher has not had much
musical training. Teachers par-
tici8pated in the demonstrations.
Stroud illustrated the basic prin-
ciples of good design and showed
how those same rules are carried
out in painting ceramics and all
arts. He demonstrated technique
for teaching art with materials
thhat are inexpensive and availa-
ble, such as painting with
sponge, brush, cardboard
crumpled paper.
