"H0ME WORK. IS SUICIDAL

There are many who believe that the
practice of the schools at the present
time in expecting and demanding the
scholar to put in many hours outside
of school on his work, is erroneous.
Whether this is due to the multiplicity
Of subjects that do not give the
:: student a direct benefit on leaving
school is another question. As to this,
however, an apparent change is taking
place. AS to the home study idea an
article from the Ladies' Home Journal,
is as follows:
eff every parent Of a schoolchild
who brings lessons home to be studied
! would put his or her foot down upon
the practice and send the child back to
school the next day with the lessons
undone, and with polite but firm ex-
PLANTATION to the teacher, one Of the
most salutary impressions would he
made upon Que modern school system.
That the whole system Of home study
is wrong admits of no question. The
teachers who insist upon it know it,
but they are powerless to act. Nothing
| would please them better than for the
parents to act, but only the absolute
prohibition Of the practice at the
HdHuo VI CHc paIcALS C6A Wdhc any luA-
preston. No practice ever instituted
leads so surely to deception. Where
there are two or three boys and girls
they get together and work their prob
lens, each working few, and then
combine results. Instead Of getting one
hundred per cent of the work each
child gets about twenty-five per cent,
but next day he is credited with per-
feet grade.
"Where the parents take hand in
, the problems the result is even more
disastrous. Every parent knows that he
or she is sometimes staggered at the
problems that the child brings home.
, A boy in the seventh grade not long
! ago took home seventy problems to be
worked and handed in the next day.
1t took the combined efforts Of the boy
and three adults to accomplish the task.
The next day the boy had a perfect
grade. Where the boy must work out
his own problems the result is even
more unfortunate. His mind is not fresh
and vitality is low, and whatever he
gets out of his lessons-if he really gets
anything-is got at the expense Of
mental vigor and loss of sleep.
! "Home study, under any conditions,
, defeats the very end it is designed to
bring out, and it should be absolutely
forbidden by parents. Then it will be
abolished; the school curriculum will
be changed, and our children will be
the gamers both mentally and physical
ly. But the conviction must first be
sure, and then the stand must be firm
and resolute.'
