New Math Workshop

Father John Leahy, superintendent of Catholic schools, sent the Arithmetic Committee, formed of elementary school teachers, to an all-day workshop at Emory University last Saturday, April 27. This workshop, co-sponsored by Emory University, Atlanta and Science Research Associates, Inc., Chicago was on the new approach to mathematics and attracted over four hundred educators, including teachers and administrators from Georgia and near-by states.

Miss Mulcahy, arithmetic consultant for the Silver-Burdett Company, will also conduct a “new” math workshop may 15, 16, 17 and 18 for the arithmetic committee and those teachers in the pilot schools where the “new” math will be taught in certain classes during this coming September.
