The pres- ent suggested plans are based upon their findings and upon suggestions offered by other members of the com- mittee. The School of Education is now con- ducting a pre-school unit in conjunc- tion, with the Merrill-Palmer schoo of Detroit, in a building back of Hill auditorium. The new unit will take the place of the present one and will be entirely -under, control of the Uni- versity. As the field of study con- cerning the pre-school child is very little cultivated and explored, the stu- dents and faculty will have wide scope in their new field of research. 'itis. intendednthat the small child- rnin this special unit, who range rom one and one-half years to five years of age, will come to school about nine o'clock in the morning. They will not come in contact with the older children, being taken up to their floor on a special elevator. The children will probably spend the morning, doing simple lessons and playing in one of the work-and-play rooms. At dinnertime, they will set theirtown table, eat their noon meal, anfd theni, pcra v tr he table. Th-isa~t~UkU.A L. work is a part of the elementary in- struction which the department in- tends to give. After dinner, they will go to one of the two cot-rooms which are provided, and take their after- nobn nap. School will close for them at about three o'clock in the after- noon. To Observe Children Closely While in the school, nearly every minute of their time will be under ex- pert observation. A dietitian will be in charge of their food, a doctor will be in attendance, and trained teachers will be in charge to aid the small stu- dents in forming good health habits and in learning to work with chil- dren of their own age. In addition to the work with the children, it is planned that confer- ences will be held with the parents of the children, and instruction given by doctors, dietitian, and teachers. While these plans as submitted to the com'mittee now are not final, it is expected that no radical changes will be made and that the final draw- ings may be made and completed within a month's time.
