The valedictory, Modern Methods In
Education" was delivered by julius
Freeman Of Wilson, N. 9. He said In
part:
Until a comparatively recent date our
educational system had no particular end.
1t was thought that general knowledge
would enable person to be a successful
artisan or professional man. With this
idea in mind the studies had little or no
connection with reality. Arithmetic was
taught with no application to real SUBJ
stances. Children were told that sixteen
ounces equaled one pound, and yet they
had no conception Of pound or even how
to operate scales. Other systems Of
weights and measures were taught in this
same abstract manner, and problems
based upon this theoretical knowledge,
were solved to the utter satisfaction Of
the pupil and teacher. Likewise grammar
had no connection with ordinary speech.
The kindergarten carries the modern
idea Of teaching through play. No in
struction is given from the book. The
children are taught to weave and make
simple designs through the spirit Of play.
In short, the kindergarten is home train
ing under more nearly perfect conditions
