About three years ago the system of individual instruction was introduced in the Winnetka schools by our superintendent, Dr. Carleton Washburne. This naturally had to be done gradually for after establishing definite goals for the work which must be accomplished in each grade, the material had to be prepared very carefully so that it would be as nearly self instructive as possible and the children could use it with a minimum amount of help from the teacher. Under this system a child progresses at his own rate of speed, neither being held back by slower pupils nor forced to go forward too rapidly for thorough understanding.
