U. of Chicago Lab School Appoints Field Coordinator A field services coordinator has been appointed for the laboratory school of the University of Chicago. This new position was created primarily, it is said, because of the problems involved in arranging field trips for large numbers of students. The major responsibilities of the field services coordinator, according to the university, will include arranging transportation, making contacts at the places to be visited, preparing proper release forms, and securing materials to be used in planning the trip with the students. In some cases the coordinator will meet with the group prior to the trip and discuss the geography or culture of the area to be visited. He will also document the trip photographically if the resulting materials could be of instructional value to the teacher involved. About 80 trips off campus for the lab school were planned for the coming year. This is about three times as many as had occurred prior to this service. A resource file is gradually being developed for use as a reference for the teachers.
