a better way would seem TO be
for the teacher to keep in touch
the pupils and hear them recite once
or twice a week, not in school
rooms. but in the homes Of various
me- bers of the class. While it
wound be difficult TO find any room
outside the school where an entire
class Of 40 pupils could be gathered,
this could be remedied by splitting
the class up into groups of 10 TO 10.
for whom accommodation could
easily be found, especially for those
in the earlier grades, and the teach
er could visit a different group each
day. Being in smaller groups more
individual attention could be paid
each child and very little more in
tensive work on the part of both
children and teacher would go far
to make up for any time theoretical

altogether, il would not be such a
terrible catastrophe if for once.
they passed automatically and with
out examinations into the next
higher grade. Let children grow
through school as they grow
through life.
The suggestion has also been
made that the various medical
schools of the country continue
without interruption during the
summer. so as to turn out their
graduates just that much earlier.
The intentions are excellent for, in
the normal course OF events, it
takes several years TO train a doc
tor. and we will undoubtedly need
them in large numbers If the war
continues very much longer. How
ever. there is reason TO doubt
whether this method would be the
ideal one. or whether il would speed
things up so very much. Factory
owners have found out that while
a man can obviously do more in
two hours than in one, it is doubt
full if he can do more in II hours
than he can in 10; or in 10 than in
eight. so there seems room for
doubt as 10 whether a student. al
ready hard worked. can do so very
much more in i months than he
would in nine.
Then il comes to children. whose
speedy promotion is not Of urgent
value to their country. and who
could well afford TO miss such a
small amount of study. the ques-
ton ought scarcely to be raised. 70
say nothing OF trying TO carry such
a scheme into effect Let them

suggested in some quarters that
since many schools have been
forced TO close this winter on &C
count of the coal shortage. they
should run through June and July
and then begin earlier than usual
in the fall in order TO make up"
the number of hours unavoidably
lost during the winter which are
supposed TO represent just exactly
so much lost learning.
The unfairness of this program,
especially to the children who are
in no way TO blame for their invol-
untary vacation, is obvious. as well
as the way in which it will wreck

The vast majority of folk seem TO

so many weeks a year, or IL VIII be

thing at all. Such a thing as just
