Education Notes

Better decoration of schoolroOms is
one of the aims of an association for
national culture recently formed in
Italy.
In European countries children at
tending private schools or being edu-
Gated at home are obliged to pass a
state examination identical with that
prescribed for children in the public
schools at the end of the course.
Nearly one-fourth of the boys and
girls who enter the American public
schools reach the high school. This,
| too. when the work of the high school
! of today is almost as advanced as
that of the college of few years ago.
| Holland like most European coun-
tries, insists upon religious training
! in the public schools, but her system
/ is described as "omnidenominational
! Definite religious instruction is given,
but the children are not allowed to
be separated according to ''confes
| sions." Sectarian schools exist, but
they are essentially private institu-
tions, and make no claim on the state
! for support.
! The international exchange of chill
dren for short periods between France
and neighboring countries steadily in
creases. During the current year there
were IA such exchanges between
France and Germany; Sc between
France and England, and betweed
France and Spain. The total number
of children represented by the ex
changes was 554, of whom 430 were
boys and 124 girls. BY this system
the children of one country are placed
in families of the other for the pur
pose of acquiring practical use of the
foreign language. The exchange is

RuYina Tea In Shanahai.

An American tourist. In pricing tea
in a Chinese store In Shanghai. was
surprised to find that he could puf-
chase five pounds of a certain kind OF
tea for 50. but that II he bought ten
pounds the price would be 81. The
American argued with the China ma n
that such an arrangement was ridicu-
lous. but the proprietor OF the store in
sisted that logic was on his side More

Improvised historical plays form
part of the history lesson in a Lon
don school Children nine and ten
years old act the battle of Hastings,
boys representing William the Con
Quer and King Harold leading parties
of Normans and SaXons, respectively.
Rulers serve as swords, and the ar
mics advance and withdraw realisti-
cally. When the children take their
| seats after the combat the teacher
asks them historical questions about
! the battle and the characters they
portrayed. Among other plays pre-
scented are: The Siege of Calais"
and The Introduction of Printing into
England" In the latter play the king
visits CaXton TO see the printing press
and have the process explained. In
terest is maintained at high pitch,
despite the fact that there is no cos
tuning and no stage setting, the
printing press being represented by a
plain wooden box.
That language and literature in
country schools can be interestingly
and effectively taught through agri-
culture and domestic science is the
| contention of Professor NJ. A. Leiper,
OF the Western Kentucky State Nor
NAL school, in a bulletin just issued
for free distribution by the United
States bureau of education. Mr.. Lei
per believes that the chief purpose of
the rural school, aside from teaching
the traditional rudiments. is to de
velop a deep and reverend apprecia-
ton of nature, and TO give a funda-
mental knowledge of that body of
facts by which man may make nature
yield the greatest possible amount of
food and clothing for sustenance and
comfort" Language work is to deal
as much as possible throughout the
course with the life of the rural com
munity. The memorizing of poems
and literary gems; debates on sub.
iects of farming and country life;
iverse writing; keeping diary; talk
ing from outlines before the whole
school on country life topics; these
are some of the topics suggested in
the plan of teaching language in a
rural school.
