If teaching resources were stretched by laboratory instruction, physical resources for equipment and supplies were similarly taxed. As V. F. Payne of Transylvania College noted in 1932, “A consideration of the vast outlay of wealth in equipment for individual student experimentation should serve to make us ask whether we are receiving full value for outlay” (“The Lecture-Demonstration: II” 932). Another writer made it clear that it was time for the glory days to be over for college science teaching in the laboratory: “Teaching costs per student credit hour in the college sciences are, in many cases, higher than the average cost of all other subjects combined, including the outlay for apparatus and equipment, thus making science instruction very expensive” (Grier 19).
After seeing Parkhurst’s demonstration classroom, Burk felt that “she was the most skillful teacher he had ever observed” (Lager 22). It was not a surprise that Parkhurst and Burk would be so closely aligned. Burk strongly advocated for “individual” methods of teaching as a contrast to the “lock-step” approach that had dominated American schooling. In 1913, Burk and colleagues published Monograph C, a book set up to look like a legal document, with the subtitle “In Re Everychild, a minor, vs. ” While not exactly litigious, Monograph C was a series of chapters that students could use for self instruction in all subjects, thereby putting students in control of how slowly or quickly to proceed and how much instruction they needed.
The alternative has always been what James presciently described: “The writer believes that it would be wise to have a regular conference of the whole class once a week. This group conference would enable the instructor to call for individual conferences with students who are behind in their contracts or who need special help” (306). Thus, the Dalton Plan was best reserved 19 The Secret Origins of Writing Centers for remediation, for “removing students’ deficiencies in composition” (388) in Robert Moore’s words.
