NATURE STUDY In PARK
4 JOYOUS Task to Primary Pupils IN
Public School I79.

The big public school at 111th street and Lenox
avenue is fortunately situated. Only some open
lots lie between it and the north end of Central
Park the part of the park which is widest and
freest and most like the real woods It is probably
because Of this that Public School 10 has gone IN
for nature study with q vim that few other schools
approach.
Unfortunate schools in the lower part Of the city
have TO conflne their work in this line TO the ex-
animation of flowers and bits of and so forth

TEACHING A CHILD AT HOME.
A Mother Tells Why She Prefers This Method
to That of the School

A mother who writes 20 1.-The Wonan's Home
Companion is not convinced some people
TO be Of the advantages OF that great Ameri-
can institution. the public school. She does not
even recommend private school. It is the home
school that she has chosen for her daughter The
little girl TO school at the usual age and
had the good fortune to be nut in charge Of ar
ideal teacher but the experiment proved so un-
satisfactory that she was withdrawn IN 4 few
weeks and does her lessons at home
There were many children that the teacher
could give rttle individual attention to any Of
them, and as some OF them were not so bright a
others, the time Of the brighter ones had TO he
wasted while the teacher explained things to the
dull ones. When the home school was begun tho
first important discovery made was that an hour
and half every morning and every afternoon was
enough to cover all the work that had been done
at school, with the addition Of two daily lessons
In German. No time was wasted hearing others
recite or waiting for the lesson and the little
girl has strong incentive to concentration be-
cause she knows that when lessons are over she
can play. It Is not question OF putting in n GER
tain number Of hours. She learns her Lesson and
then recites # &c papa mamma wherever they
happen 10 be. and she studies wherever she
chooses. on the porch by the haystack or fat on
her stomach on rug before the fire
The mother admits that 1t has not been easy
and that If she had ten children she could not do
It, but with only one she wouldn't think of giving
up the home school.
Other people urge that "a child needs the contact
with others; that it is the nalienable right of
every American child to go into the world and
rub up against its fellows, and learn to fight its
own battles and make its own way
With boys-perhaps," comedies the mother ct
have not decided about boys ] have only a littIa
girl But when / think Of sending her out at the
defenceless age of six to rub up against the world
TO learn 10 fight her battles and TO make her
own way, somehow il does not coincide with the
ideal have In mind for her" And as for the
incentive of competition. the little girl completes
with her best record She wins over her ma az
best and her victory does not mean the defeat of
her dearest churn."
But these objections do not come from teachers
II is the parents who make them The educators
with whom the mother has talked have said with
out exception, that the home school, with indivi-
dual attention 10 individual needs, and carefully
selected payTnates is better for the child than
the public school and contact with ell scrts of
