- Description:
- On this installment of "Your schools" Dr. Willis Dunbar moderates a discussion about "modern and progressive methods of education" with a panel composed of members of the Kalamazoo Junior Chamber of Commerce, a teacher from Kalamazoo Public Schools, and Dr. Loy Norrix, superintendent of Kalamazoo Public Schools. The Junior Chamber of Commerce is concerned that modern, progressive methods of education will make it more difficult for companies to identify potential employees graduating from the Kalamazoo Public School system because graduates will not have met broadly agreed upon goals. Norrix argues that a modern, progressive method of education leads to higher quality students across the board and enables teachers to reach each student through the methods which the students will respond to best.

The educators discuss the the history of school construction in Kalamazoo since World War I. Norrix says that a new junior high on the city's south side must be completed by 1950 to enable the schools to cope with a surge in enrollment and argues that the city should levy a special tax for school construction rather than float school bonds.
