In the second, they learned to vivify a variety of subject matter by graphic representation which included the making of charts, graphs, diagrams, and even cartoons, and to assemble pictorial and illustrative material to stimulate quick and accurate learning. In the third, they learned to choose, use, and evaluate visual and audio-visual aids and to make some visual aids of their choice. Whether the Business Education Workshop is a 45-hour workshop on the campus or a 10-hour county institute workshop, its purpose is to acquaint teachers with new trends and problems, curriculum changes, course revisions, etc., and to enlist their aid in the planning and carrying out of postwar programs in their communities. However good the post-war plans of various groups of business educators, state committees, and national organizations may be, their complete success depends on the work of individual classroom teachers.

GEORGE Associate Professor San Jose State College First, we must do better everything worthwhile that we have been trying to do. This involves selecting who is to be taught what and how, and finding out whether the teaching resulted in learning. In other words, we must do a better job of educational and vocational guidance—the selection of who is to be taught. We must forever try to improve the curriculum—the selection of what is to be taught. We must find more effective methods of teaching what is to be learned. Visual aids and cooperative training hold great possibilities. I have seen some recent new textbook materials which appear to lengthen the time required for learning—to break the subject matter into even smaller bits. Secondly, however, we must prepare to meet changing conditions. There is one general trend which I think we can safely project into the future: We are in the midst of a technological revolution. Automatic devices are only in their infancy. Fewer workers will be able to produce more goods and services. It has been predicted that industrial efficiency will increase as much as sixty per cent in the decade following V-Day. I think we shall face relatively declining employment in some of the occupations for which we have been training; I think we shall have to plan to train a greater proportion of young people...
