Many and varied were the types of units worked out in the two Jefferson Schools. It was interesting to note the interest that various classes showed in this work.

Early in the fall, the Principal, Mrs. C.B. Duke, named the unit, and expressed the desire that each teacher work her unit on some phase of a Century of Progress. Then, those who were taking the course in Curriculum Revision, under Mrs. Rose Butler Brown, Directress of the Department of Extension, began an intensive study of unit work.

There were various types of units, for example: The Senior Class concentrated on "A Century of Progress in Negro Education in Charlottesville". The pupils collected pictures and data from venerable residents of the city. They wrote themes and made posters to that effect.

The Junior Class worked out a unit entitled, "A Century of Progress in Democracy." Their activities included a visit to the City Hall for statistics dealing with population and the evolution of the voter's interest.

The Sophmore Class had a unit in History and one in English. In History the pupils showed a Century of Progress in War. Their scope covered the Civil War and the World War. To this end they built a sand table upon which they reconstructed a scene of both Wars. They also made posters. For their English class, their unit was "A Century of Progress in Newspaper making". The members of the class collected news papers dating from 1834 to 1934. Then they formed two editorial staffs, and edited two newspapers, one called the Jefferson Chronicle and the other, The Jefferson Gazette.

The First Year Classes have been studying investiments, so their unit centered around "Miss Freshman's Boudoir", emphasizing the fact that one should not buy beyond his means.

The Science Class concentrated on "A Century of Progress in the Conservation of life". The students made posters and wrote themes to this effect.

In the Seventh Grade, they worked out a very interesting unit on Communication and the Sixth Grade on Transportation. They used sand tables, themes, and posters to emphasize this.

In the Fifth Grade, the "Heart of Virginia, the Historical center of the Nation" was worked out.

In the Fourth Grade, the unit centered around "How the Indians Lived", and in the third "Holland and the Dutch People". The second year worked on a health house and took for their theme the Preservation of Health.

Mrs. Dorcia B. Johnson's unit was centered around sewing and industrial arts.
