A Suggested Program for Brotherhood Week: (continued from pace 16) cover if it could be correlated with their special subjects. After the showing the teachers were asked to submit suggestions for use in their fields of instruction. A few of the many suggestions that came from them are here listed. Suggested Uses in the Social Studies, Civics, Current Events: Topics for discussion, research, and reports re- lated to units of study: 1. Migrations from Europe in colo- nial times and 19th century. 2. Contributions of immigrants to the development of America. 3. Present immigration policy. 4.

Make a chart of words of foreign origin. 6. Describe the universal truths of poetry which have no national boun- daries. 7.

Organize lessons to show that the composition of the blood is the same for all races, that body structure and bone structure are the same, that variations are due to geographic con- trols. Suggested Uses in Art and Music: 1. Show how art and music are uni- versal mediums that help the peo- This American History group hot b«en accepted by leading state Dim llbrartet.

Assembly programs featuring speakers of different national origins. 2. An inter-cultural festival, exhibit, bazaar. 3. Dramatic presentations, choral speaking, on the theme of "Unity." 4. Other visual aids to reinforce the ideas found in One People. The possibilities for developing a unit on "Brotherhood" are endless. Each school must work out its own program in the light of its own needs. The teacher who picks up her morning paper and reads the caption, "Major Race Riot Seen," won't need much more motivation than this for a lesson on inter-cultur- al relations, if she happens to live in that city. But more specifically— let's look to ourselves. A classroom incident may reveal the need for a change in attitudes — unfortunate happenings in the neighborhood or community may be the signal to launch the serious classroom or school-wide consideration of these problems. If we are alert to all the concom- itants of learning, all the character development that accompanies the acquisition of subject matter, then we cannot overlook visual aids which have been developed for this special purpose. • * « Coronet Issues Digest for Visual Education Field ♦ An excellent digest-type publica- tion CoRONEWs is being issued by Coronet Instructional Films, 65 E.
