project _in which selected teachers inive school systems participated.These teachers and their pupils used The World Book Encyclopediacontinuously in their classrooms,and for one year kept a running anecdotal record of the various waysin which they found World Book especially helpful.  \nThe teachers taught the subjects and topics which they_would otherwise have taught anyway,andreported the materials they used and how they used them.In addition to individual conferences duringthe year,three meetings of these teachers were held in each of the five school systems to discuss theproject and to formulate co-operatively the basic pattern of these instructional units.Try-out units,weredeveloped,written,analyzed,and criticized.This series of instructional units—The Unit Teaching Plans一is the result.  \nThe following teachers and supervisors in the five school systems co-operated in the project:  \n77  \nSpringfield.Massachusetts,Public Schools  \nGradeMiss Bertha Richardson………………
