It was pointed out by C a rJ
Hartman that the functions (uses)
of the proposed community cen-.

so that the most functional buil-
ding could be ^constructed to
meet community needs.
Curry, earlier in the meeting
'-| last Thursday, had reported on
contacts made during the -past
six days regarding obtaining a
site for the center. He had, con- unusual for a member of the
tacted representatives of Brook- GOP in the county which includ-.
shire Food Stores in Tyler, es the capital city of Austin. At
regarding the possible purchase present, he is the senior GOP
of the block formerly-occupied
by the “grammar school" that’s
owned by Brookshire’s; but early
Thursday morning he was noti-
fied that the food store chain
definitely planned to construct a
larger building ort the block, and
move to the new location.
Several possible sites, other
than school property along the
northward extension of Country
Club Drive, were mentioned.
Site selection, it was '"noted,
will have a great deal to do with
the final planning of the building.

wide race on the Republican tic-
ket this year, but it wiU’probably
be very close to the filing dead-
line of Feb. 7 before he makes
up his mind on a statewide race
or on re-election to his relatively
safe House seat in Austin.
In his talk to the Mineola
Rotary Club, he pointed.out the:

New Science Teaching Met
Discussed For School Trustees
Knight, will better prepare stu-
dents for physics and chemistry
in high school, and will provide
a basic knowledge of science
needed for everyday Hying for
those students who don’t go to
high school
Mrs. Tarter said that the new
teaching method was
her thanthe old, since students
in a single section might be at
many different stages of comple-
tion of the coursework. Also,
she said, it was very difficult
“to keep my mouth shut, so that
I don’t do the work for the stu-
dents by answering a 11 ques-
tions” The students may work
individually, in pairs, or jp small
groups in performing the requir-
ed experiments. And the meas-
urements in the seventh grade
course are all in metric units —
none in the more familiar feet,
inches, pounds, etc.
Some of the weaker students
are doing much better work than
they would in a conventional
course, and none are doing poor-
er work, she noted. And as for
the students' enjoyment of t h e
coursework, she said it was the
first time she had students who
begged to go to the classroom
during their off .periods!
In other areas at the school
board meeting Monday night, the
trustees were informed that the
Texas Education Agency had
made final its. audit of personnel
and attendance records, and that
there was no financial adjust-
ment to be made in any salaries,
as a result of the audit.
