On Science
Hr. Clifton ('. Ooak, head of

s< ience students from high schools
across the state at 8:30 a.m. <let
26.
The program, sponsored by the

titled "Ti xhs Curriculum Studies ’’
"The program should assist the
schools in correcting a belated
and inadequate u-e of intellectual
resource* which aie now available
‘to them." Iloak said.
Hoak plans to a-k the panel si*
questions:
1. How would it be possible for
thi schools to establish a science
curriculum such that the sequence
would lie natural, free of serious
gaps and capped with opportunit
ies for advanced electives?
2. Do you fe*l that public
money should be -pent for a few
hcademit allv talented students?
3. Should the high school*
move fa-ter and demand more of
the students’’
4 Do you feel that the school
program alone is enough to chal
lenge and make full use of the
energies of the better equipped
student-
5. How can the stimulus of
competition he used to motivate
school work without bringing
damaging pressure* to bear on
children who consistently lose out
in competition ’’
V\ hat steps could the schools
take to stimulate originality and
j creativity in students?
