South Dakota and Oklahoma have adopted this plan; other states are planning to adopt it. The Rotation Plan teaches real things not just words, words, words. The Rotation Plan rotates the subjects does not teach the same things year after year; does not skim, leaving nothing crisp and new for the next year. If you want to know how the Rotation Plan vitalizes schools and communities-what school directors, superintendents, teachers, parents and children say about it-how superintendents can introduce it into their schools-how teachers are vitalizing arithmetic, spelling, reading, writing, language, and every other subject, the following booklets will be sent you free upon application, but don't write for them unless you really want to do something worth while for your state, your county, your school and your community.
