Do We Think For Ourselves?

Queer how many things in our life
are inherited from the past and are,
accepted without a thought. We arr
afraid of storms. the dark and thOu-
sand and one other things because our
ancestors, who knew nothing of sci
ence, feared them.
We went to school and did our tasks
in the good old fashioned way be-
cause that was the way our parents
got their education. In thousands o.
schools scattered all over this enlight-
ened country we are int1icting the
same thing upon our children because
of our habit of thought. Isn't it time
for us to begin to view the child as
something more than a receptacle for
the three RS? Isn't school something
bigger and better than we are trying
to make the average country school:
Doesn't real, pulsing life demand more.
infinitely more, than it did 100 years
ago? Doesn't life exist in the fields
where crops are growing: Doesn't Il
problem exist except between the COY
ers of a book? Is the geography OF
Africa as vital or as full of meanin
as the brook that tumbles over rocks
and messy roots 100 yards from the
schoolhouse door? Does any one real
ly believe that the lock step studies
without break mean an education il
its best and broadcast sense?
No problem is solved in this little
chat Only a few questions are asked
that most of us grownups don't think
about. Put yourself in your child's
place for a moment and see if your
school building, the studies and the
viewpoint are in step with all the ad
vances that the world has made in the
other activities of our varied life.

Queer Predicament,

On the OLD Rosebud Reserva-
tion in South Dakota they still
laugh over the peculiar predica-
ment into which a new Indian
agent got himself.
The agent. and unqualified
''tenderfoot." Was inspecting
an Indian school. Noticing that
as soon as he entered the room
every girl present brought her
hair forward over her face, he
asked the teacher to tell them
to throw it back so that he might
see their faces. But this they
refused to do, until, after much
urging, one girl did finally I'M
cover her face.
After school was over the
agent wondered at the strange
actions of the girl who had shown
him her face. She followed him
to his house, entered after him,
and set about getting his dinner.
AS he spoke no Sioux, and she
no English, he could get no ex-
PLANTATION from her.
Finally, to his relief, the teach
er rode up. Shaking with
laughter, he asked the agent
how he liked his new wife.
Then the latter understood what
| he had done. In certain tribes
of the Sioux Indians all a man
needs to do in order to get a
wife is to induce a girl to un-
cover her face. The agent had
proposed in the usual way-and
been accepted.
In vain did the agent plead
that he already had wife in the
East; there was only one way to
get out of it. 1t cost him the
equivalent of fourteen ponies to
persuade the Indian girls father
to take her back egain.

RURAL TEACHERS
BODY OF TRAMPS
Or. CIaxton Says They Change
Districts Too Often.
RESULTS IN POOR TEACHING

Problem Must Be Solved If Real Strong
Work Is to Be Done In Country Dis
triets-Is Hurting Children's Chances.
Just a Question or Two.
In a recent address at Louisville, KY,
DR.. P. P. Claxton, commissioner of ed
ucation for the United States, stated
that the rural teachers constituted the
greatest body of tramps known. Over
80 per cent Of them move to a new dis
trict each school year.
Don't take DR.. Claxton's word for it.
Think Of all the rural districts you
know and see how close his assertion
comes to fitting your own and your
neighbours situation on the teacher
question. The main reason for so
much poor teaching in the country dis
tricts is that the teacher does not stay
long enough in any one locality to
know either the children or their par
ents. If it is as difficult as it is for
you to manage your child after having
it with you every day during it's whole
life, how can the average teacher do
even creditable work when she abso-
lutely does not know your children!
She merely has got a nodding acquaint-
ance with them; she can call them by
name.
This is every mans problem as well
as the teachers problem. 1t must be
solved if We are to have real strong
work done. What will you do with it
1t is what is hurting your child's chance
for an education that is worth while.
