C.A.C. Comments On Measures Display

A meeting of the Canadian As- sociation of Consumers was held in the Civic Centre on Feb. 29. A large number of members were present and took part in the pro- gram.

A measu es display which has been touring the Maritimes was exhibited. It consisted of a sample of every type of measuring cup and scoop available in Canada and displayed in this way the ladies were given a chance to see pccted to last about a week.

The merchandise displayed was not intended to represent well de- signed merchandise although the project was a joint one of the De- sign Committee of C.A.C. and the National Industrial Design Coun- cil. ,

One purpose of the program was to enable the Consumers to con- sider the good and bad features of measures and another purpose was to provide the manufacturers of

measures with some real informa- -

tion about the uses to which con- sumers put their products. Still another purpose was to find out what ideas consumers have about the "ideal" measure.

The members entered whole-

heartedly into the program and the questionnaires were nscien-

WE AND OUR NEIGHBORS

THE IIOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT One of the minor problems in education 'but I very important one to classroom teachers. PER!!!-5 and the pupils. in the question of homework. Until recently home- work was not only accepted-what ever the quality or quantity-but even insisted on by the Parents- Often the more the pupils were loaded down with homework. the higher the teacher rated in the opinion of the parents. It is diffic- ult even now for parents to give up this traditional attitude and teachers often follow the old home- work patterns disregarding what their supervisors tell them. or the newer ways pointed out in their teacher-training courses.

The following outline may be useful in this brief discussion of the homework p. ” : ,

1. Purpose of the homework as- signment.

A. To reinforce the understanding of the subject gained in the classroom.

3. To aid in developing steady and

independent study habits

11. What type of subject matter is most desirable for homework?

A. New Material?

B. Review Material?

111. How much homework is de- sirable? '

A. In the lower grades?

3. In the upper grades?

If we agree to the aims or pur- poses of homework as above land there are more and different ones in text-books) we can scc that part 11 of our outline is already answered. Obviously only the above average pupils can cope with new material independ- ently and only review material can reinforce what has already been taught in class.

In the first and second grades no homework should be assigned- flrst because children of st); and seven have already had enough formal learning when they come from school----and because every- thing is new to them and parents should not be required or expect- ed to teach beginners--the most difficult branch of teaching. Of course the child who is so en- thusiastic about reading and arith- metic (how soon we quench this ardoril can spend an extra half hour tiplaying school" with mother as teacher. And the child who has trouble with his reading should be watched for signs of defective vis- ion or hearing by his teacher and parents.

As to the amount of homework, should be assigned in the lowest grades and in all other grades, the parents should judge. Does the homework interfere with the child's physical well-being? Or his share of household chores? Or his attendance at desirable organizat- ions such as scouts and cadets? And is the teacher depending on homework rather than teaching in class?

There is so much more to say but parents and teachers can ask themselves how far the aims of homework are achieved: Does the homework strengthen the pupils' grasp of the subject matter taught in the class-room? And are the
