Wishing You All a Happy New Yeat

people Of Albuquerque and New Mexico about the policy

with the public dueing 1915 and that win guide those relations
during 1915.
We have assembled here under our ore roof some forty de-
partmentsi each one complete in itself and for It's own particu.
lar line; thoroughly stocked with reliable merchandise; a store
in itself. Our policy has been to make this a real department
store, not only in name, but in the actual reality Of the service
II IL prepared TO extend. In this we know we have succeeded.
by close comparison and merciiess, critical observation Of our
own equipment VIC know that we have reached the point where
this store will stand comparison with the best department stores
OF the country. Where the methods Of other department stores
have become standard or have proven effective we have not hes
itated TO copy those methods. Where our own ideas and methods
have seemed most practical we have not hesisated 20 depart

ment. We have tried consistently and will continue 10 fry
constantly to make this store one Of the utmost efficiency; one
of close adaptation to local needs and conditions; q store for all
the people; a store for service.

the present school year is scheduled
to include 1877 days of actual school
work, the prospect is that we shall
run we'll over 10000 for 19l4-15.
The average increase for the three
years 1925 over preceding figures
is close to 10000. The significance
of these figures is considerable. The
increase is due largely, | believe, to
persistent enforcement of the tru-
ancy law and particularly of that
section which makes parents respon-
sible for a child's absence. The
chief consequence is of course the
moral effect on the children them
selves. A secondary result is in
creased income to the city. The
amount of that part of State appro-
priation based upon attendance has
averaged in the last three years in
this county to about four cents per
pupil per day. The city has profted
financially, therefore. to the extent
of some $4,000 year as a result
of the campaign directed against
parents who are accessories to tru-
ancy.
A table of comparative figures for
the half-year ending Feb. l, 1915
and the half-year ending Feb. l,
1914 is given below. There is a
notable decrease of absent and tardy
cases and notable increase in per

Perhaps the irstargumentagainst
home study that would occur to the
teacher is that where pupil has all
his work to do in school his study
periods are fully occupied and he
has no time to get into disorder or
mischief, and is therefore less
troublesome to the teacher. Laying
aside this argument, however, as
perhaps unworthy. since our first
concern is the pupil, not the teacher,
let us consider effects on the pupil
alone, remembering, nevertheless.
that effect on a teacher is to con-
siderable extent reflected in the pro-
gress of her pupils.
Let me classify rather broadly the
reasons against home study as physi-
cal. mental and moral physical as
regards the child's health, mental
as regards his powers of attention,
concentration, etc.. and moral as
regards his honesty.
THE growing child needs to play.
Play is as important to his proper
development as food or sleep.
He needs to be out in the sun and
the wind, yes, even in the dirt, and
to be free largely to follow the
promptings of his own nature much
of the time without the necessity of
getting lessons continually follow
ing him around and interfering with
his happiness. So many of US are
so unwilling that child should be
happy Some of US have even got
ourselves into state of mind such
that we think there is something
wrong in it! And if we do grudg-
ingly admit that the afternoon exer-
else is necessary for the little body
we will at least not permit the nat
ural reaction of the tired functions,
but after conscientiously feeding the
youngster a big supper, clap him
down under an artificial light and
make him study? To me the per-
formance is little short of monstrous.
But we say we must improve his
mind Now, does home study i'm
prove his mind? The prime function
of the public school is not to impart
large mass of information, most
of which can be of no possible use
to the student in after life. 1t is to
teach a child HOW TO DO things and
among other things how to study.
Can he learn how to study better
under the unskilled tutoring of his
parents or the skilled instruction of
his teacher? The truth is that nine
out of ten children who study at
home 'dawdle' about it, and the
process not only does not do them
any good, it does them actual harm.
Speed may not be as important as
accuracy but speed is important.
Where the child does his work in
school he is doing it the right way
and he is doing it rapidly, far more
important things for him than the
mere accumulation of information.
What does covering the ground
of a grade, amount to if student
does not acquire habits of work which
enable him to cover the ground
of the next grade? And as matter
of fact he does cover the ground

just as well without home study as
with it, if the ground is OF proper
dimensions.
At the risk of parents taking
umbrage at what / say, l feel l
ought not to let the opportunity
! pass to protest against fathers and
mothers helping children with
their lessons. 1t is unfair to the
teacher, it is unfair to the rest of
the pupils in the class, but most of
all it is unfair to the child himself.
The habit of mental dependence
thus permitted grows on him, and
sooner or later he develops a weak
ness that it is going to take heart
breaking struggle to overcome. But
even more deplorable to my mind is
the effect on the child's character
of taking to school and presenting to
the teacher, with the tacit approval
OF his parents, work which is not
his own. Many am afraid, most
parents who help their children
with their school work are helping
them in the wrong direction"
Ii, as is generally believed,
eight hours day is enough work
for a man, is it any more than de-
cent to assume that five hours is
enough for child
Inquiry discloses that of the II
teachers in the elementary grades 16
are in favor of continuing the pres
ent system. One teacher favors
modifying the plan to permit the
pupil who wishes to do so to take a
book home to study. 1t seems to
me however that a little reflection
would show those familiar with child
nature and the requirements of child
hygiene that under such an optional
plan the pupils who would avail
themselves of the opportunity are
the very ones who ought to be re-
strained. 1t is the high-strung, con-
scientious child who would do the
extra work and particularly the one
who has been absent because of i'll
ness and wishes to make up for
lost time" 1t may appear that we
are doing such a child an injustice
in not permitting him TO make up"
his work. But here again we are
talking about an,assing knowledge.
The child's health is after all the
first consideration, and no injustice
is done him since promotions are
not at all based on the amount of
acquired information but solely on
the pupils ability to do the work of
the next grade.
| The high school principal, who is
perhaps in the best position to Judge,
is of the opinion that the last two
| classes that have entered the High
School are certainly as aoeu pre-
pared as any that came before them,
and that their attitude toward their
work, so far as regards interest and
ability to concentrate. is much better
than that of their predecessors.
