ganic Education"
IF education is life, then educa-
ticn must be a life2giving process,
said Mrs. Johnson. 1T is impossible
to have life with sixty children in
one room"
She pointed out that the present
system of education does not follow
the organic development of the child.
but tends to force mental processes
before the child is physically pre-
pared for them. This, she deplored,
is a calamity, not an educational ne
cessity. She told of a system Of
education following the development
and the desires of a child which she
is now trying with success. In it
there is no attempt to push the child
forward. but simply to keep pace
with his developing interests AS
these interests change the work
given him undergoes a corresponding
change.
For" concluded Mrs. johnson, "all
education is organic. 1t is the prop
err response of soul, mind and body"
