tlonary stage Of the child.
That one ot the most important au'
ties of ed ducutors is to form by expert
ence In the child's mind in the earliest
stage Of its development rs wide range
as possible of apperoeptlve centers' OF
feeling and thought in order that the
feelings and thoughts communicated
during the period of conscious develop
mont may have vitality and meaning
The outer can never be made clear
unless there Is in the inner at least
germ to which the outer may be relat-
! ed.
That new knowledge becomes part OF
our permanent mental equipment and
/ element In character Ouly when tho
corresponding inner feeling and kno"l-
| edge are aroused sufficiently to lead to
perfect union between the old and
new.
!. The increase Of knowledge should be
by amalgamation, not by more accumu'
| latiOn.
That the activity of the self-hood OF
the child is the only certain way OF
making the mind actively and agrees
lively apperCeptive; the only way by
which interest can become persistently
investigative and truly stimulative.
That the child's center of interests Is
the true guide IN the correlation or con-
centration OF studies.
That nature is the most attractive,
the most suggestive, the most enlight-
ening and tho most productive correla-
ting centre for childhood.
That the history of mans achieve
ments are the revelations OF the best
ideals OF civilization and coordination
of the uplifting forces OF society are
the central rivers to which all educa-
tional streams should be tributary
above the primary school including the
work in colleges and universities.
That the physical, intellectual and
spiritual natures should be trained as
unity, and that the weakest depart
ments of power should receive most
careful culture.
That informal training is more pro-
auctive than formal training in all de-
partments of human power.
That children love productive work
better than idleness.
They may not like the work we
choose for them. 1t would indicate de-
torioration If they did. They like
more developing work than hours.
The power to Choose wisely, to de-
eide correctly, add to control ones own
power in achieving good purposes is
even moae important than tho power OF
accomplishment which becomes mere
ly mechanical II divorced from origin
ality of conception.
Tnat it is not necessary to destroy a
child's power in order to change its di'

Most Of what has been called discip-
line in schools has crippled in order To

That coercion is always destructive OF
