CONGRESS ON HOME EDUCATION

In recent years there has been an un-
fortunate tendency among parents and
guardians OF children to assume that the
entire educational function in the develop
ment OF children should be taken over by
the school. To emphasize the need OF
proper home education and the relation of
the school TO the home will be the main
object OF the fourth meeting OF the Inter
national Congress on Home Education to
convene in Philadelphia in September.
This will be one of the most important
educational conferences ever held and Will
bring together educators and representa-
,wes OF organizations interested In hons
training and the welfare OF childhood from
all over the world. Delegates from nearly
every European country have already been
appointed Governors OF over half of the
states OF this country have so far APP
pointed delegations and representatives
from all the large cities of this country
are expected
The first meeting of the congress. held
at Liege in 1905 under the patronage of
the Belgian Government. was attended by
/. 200 delegates, representing twenty ma
lions. In 1906 the second conference was
held In Milan. Italy. and the third In
Brussels in 1910. when over 5000 men,
bers attended. representing twenty-five
different nations. The fourth congress
will be held In Philadelphia in the week
beginning September %.

The large number OF pupils who now
voluntarily attend vacation schools in our
large cities suggests the conclusion that
many students would welcome such an
extension of the school year.
ITO summarize this discussion bricav.
Waste in our elementary and secondary
education IL due chiefly to: Cd IA lack of
coordination between the separate parts
OF our school organization; (2) to the
lack OF training OF teachers, and (3) to
the short tenure of position OF teachers
remedy may be sought in: G) a re-
adjustment OF our school organization I;
CD In the elimination Of unnecessary re-
Views and repetltions; (3) In improved
methods OF instruction: 90 by furnish
ing substantial incentive to better work
on the part OF the pupils: B) and by
lengthening the amount OF time given to
instruction during the school year.
ANY effective treatment OF the problem
will depend upon the recognition of the
fact that we are dealing with a UNIFIED
process extending through the entire pc
riod OF elementary and secondary educa-
