Try a Journal Want Ad School seems to fit in nicely with the trend over the co, retry as a whole. It was found that nine out of ten eighth graders actually study on school asmgnments at home. If students are to receive home- work. what study conditions are  necessary before they can actu- ally do a good job at home? The following standards were selected by this Montana school: 1. A definite study location. 2. A desk or table for his use. 3. A study location free from major distractions--if not a sep- arate room at least a quiet area in his home. 4. Freedom from loud noises or talking and other distractions by family members. 5. Freedom from home emotion- al stresses. 6. No distraction from radio or television. 7. A dictionary for his use, 8. Time for his homework and individual interests. 9. A complete understanding of his assignments and processes in. volved so they can be completed without continual assistance from tamily members. A survey of 334 eighth graders attending this Montana school was made using these standards, It was found that tim number of students llomes not meeting each standard ranged from approxi- matel.y one out of every ten to about five out of every ten. The problem is to make both parents and pupils aware of the basic conditions necessary for pro- per home study. A-similar mwvey w mle .of the 180 eighth grade students in the Shelton Junior High School. The results of this survey are quite interesting. The questions were based upon the standards already stated. Following m a list of ques- tions asked and the resnlts: HOW DOES YOUR HOME STUDY PLACE RATE? 1. I have a definite or special place where I do my home- work. Yes (138) No (42) Comment: This question was an- swered in the affirmative even when the place of study was in front of the television or beside the radio.

Yes (68) No (112) Comment: It would appear from experience that it would almost be impossible to do a good job of studying and watch television at the same time, yet nearly 38 per cent of the students stated that this was what they did. 7. I ask my teacher for help when I do not understand my assignments. Yes (144) No (36) Comment: We know that many students are shy ab0t asking fur- ther help. $. I have avathtble time for my homework. Yes (162) No (18) Comment: The number of yes answers was a little surprising in view of the fact that a number of parents have told us that their students have no time available. We feel sure, however, that each student was honest on this ques- tim. It was stated that he might have to miis a favorite television program or stay home for the eve- ning or refrain from using the tel- ephone too much. Be sure to at- tend the P.T.S.O., neeting in the -Junior High School fiuditoi-ium on the evening of February 12, and hear this and the other problems discussed further. The teachers of the Shelton Jun- ior High School feel that students need homework to fix in their minds the new material presented in class; that no two students work at the same speed, i.e., that one can finish his problems in class; that others need more time to complete the assignments; that superior students need more of a challenge than it is possible to give them in the average class- ?onto. Plan to attend the P.T.S.O. meeting February. 12 at 8:00 p.m. in the Junior High School auditor- ium. Two lively playlets will be acted out on the stage. These playlets portray a problem but do not at- t.empt a solution. The lively dis- cusmons to follow should bring 3. My study place is quiet.
