ABSTRACT
In a developing experiment such as that of the school, the work of the oldest children is of necessity highly exploratory and tentative in character. The oldest members of the united group were given special tutoring and review courses in preparation for their College Board examinations, which were complicating the program. The chapter discusses the Work of the fall quarter, winter quarter and spring quarter. The Fall Quarter aims to preserve the spirit of individual investigation and rediscovery that had characterized the children's scientific work from the beginning. In the winter quarter the pupils used Will's Essentials of Geometry as the basis of their work and were able to work more rapidly than when they had had to make constructions as well as work out demonstrations from dictated exercises. In the spring quarter work consists of a critical analysis of the class papers prepared in science. The subjects of these papers were volcanoes, glaciers, and other physiographical features.
