~I think a shorter day is better for
boys and girls I'm the first and second
grades and possibly in the third After
that. they can go all day. To send
them early in the morning and keep
them there all day when they are
seven and eight years old, endangers
their health. To keep them at play
as is now done under the socalled
Gary system. TO my mind, takes away
from them an originality Of thought
just at a time when they need 10
develop it, If a seven year old boy
turns a somersault, that ls his own
idea 10 is original The originality
should be developed believe he
should play as he wants TO play
Believes In Supervised Play.
81 am in favor OF supervised play IN
the schools. but 7 do not believe the
sort Of play the younger pupils are
now taught is best for them. / think
ones and play as they please. with
teachers as supervisors only TO see
that they do not fight or impose on
smaller children. is the solution Of
the school question.
For boys and girls In the higher
grades. I am thoroughly I'm favor OF
the specialized teaching now in force
The boys and girls are big enough
then 20 apply themselves and believe
a teacher, specializing In his or hor
work. IS the proper thing for these
higher grades But i'm the lower
grades. I am in favor Of but one
teacher handling the class and I favor
shorter sessions only for these tots.
7 believe it viii be much better for the
school system and for the chldren's
health.
For the Little Tots.
Little tots are timid and do not
learn as well when switched about
from one teacher TO another. They do
much better when put under one
teacher They become used to her;
they feel confidence in her. they be-
come fond OF her and look TO her as a
friend and protector. Under the So
called Gary system. they are switched
from one teacher 10 another; they
are told just how TO play and are
given no chance for original thought
or expression.
