CHILDREN NOT EMPTY.

The pseudO-science of education
under which most of use were
brought up assumed that children
were empty vessels to be filled by
knowledge. Teachers and parents
still feel that TO cut down an arith-
metic hour 10 As minutes is TO de-
prive the child Of a fourth Of his
education But children are not
empty vessels. nor are they auto
matte machines which can be wound
up and set running on a track by the
teacher. They are pushing Wills and
desires and curiosities. They are
living. growing things, and they need
nothing so much as a place where
they can grow. They live as wholes
far more than older people do. and
they cannot be made TO become
minds and minds alone for four or
five hours "A day-that is. without

We are only accidentally intellectual
that our other impulses are far more
imperious. Because a teacher can
secure outward order. it does not
mean that she has harmonized the
childs personality. She has not the

sion that may be going on inside

sergeant. but she must not think
that she has thereby become an ed
