KEEPS ABREAST OF CLASS BY MODERN METHOD: Daniel Martin of 45 Avon Street, Taunton, is home-bound, but yet he manages to keep progress with his fourth grade classmates at the Immacu,late Conception parish school by means of a telephone system. At the right Catherine Gazda and Sister John David stand close to the speaker, located in the classroom, which' carries. the class work to Daniel at his home. Daniel can . also speak with Sister at the Taunton school.
ods of complete bed rest. The "school-to-home" service makes it possible for the home bound youngster to listen in to all the classroom instruction and recitations, and to respond and participate in the greater part of the activities in the classroom he would ordinarily occupy. The mechanics of the system are simple-an intercommunica tion unit engineered for use with telephone equipment is placed near the teacher's desk facing the students. This unit is wired to an amplifier and then the sound goes out over a regular private telephone line to another unit beside the shut-in youngster. He can hear every ,thing that goes on in the class
room. The flip of a switch turns
his receiver into a microphone,
so that he can recite in turn and
take part in the classroom exer . cises as the teacher directs. This relatively new telephone teaching method gives a sense of belonging to the home-bound youngster. He is able to identify himself with a group, and to sustain daily social contact with his class. All the mental and physical therapy, and most of all, the spiritual therapy that instills the' will to live and fight which are so vital to eventual recovery are present in this ingenious "school - to - home" teaching.
