NEW YORK.-"The trouble with
schools and education in general to-
day is that out of $4,000 teachers,
twenty three only are allowed to
think" says Henrietta Rodman, the
teacher who, few years ago, while
teaching at Wadleigh High school,
New York, got herself in the public
eye by taking a stand against the
time-honored opinion that teachers
should not be mothers, also.
"A teacher should have personali-
ty," she continues, liberty to think,
and then go about it in her own way.
A teacher is now both the voice of
God and the stupidest sort of mech
anism. Each teacher should be diff
ferent in herself and himself, and
teach accordingly.
'Then, too, I believe in a great
variety of teachers. Each child

OF habit. Some attain the love of
humanity, but few have the emo
tional mechanism required for the
soventh-religion- oneness with
the UNIVERSE love of all that we
see and cannot see, all that we know
and cannot know.
New Problems in Life
Education is only the struggle to
live beautifully. What are we do
ing about it? Teaching Chinese
ideals and perpetuating the past.
Here am I still teaching the Sir
Rodger de Coverly papers, when
would like to be teaching Herricll
and Conrad and Chekhov-and I've
been doing it for twenty years. When
the schools first took up the De Cow
erly papers the ideal was gentleness
and simplicity-our vital problems
now are both more dynamic and
civic. Yet we are still teaching from
books whose authors were afraid Of
life and the truth"
The most important class, in Miss
Rodman's opinion, should be the
class in politics. All grades should
be taught politics and the duty to
the community. There should be
more moving pictures in class and
less ancient history. Movies could
be used, she believes, for the teach
ing of literature, history, painting,
art of all kinds.
Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1920-10-23

should pass through as many teach
ers' hands as the child has moods.
And no teacher SHOULD stay in the
room all the time, nor should the
teachers word be law"
Miss Rodman believes a teacher
should never solve for a child what
he must know for himself. In her
conception classes should be made
W. of clubs, governed by the chill
dren. A teacher should be called in
only as an expert adviser.
Substituting Word
Teaching in itself is one of the
most beautiful and satisfactory con-
facts we have with the new genera
ton" says Miss Rodman. THE word
school should be soul stirring
word not the dead, gray thing that
it is.
There the seven steps in the de-
velopment of the seven loves should
be taught:
First-Self-love.
Second-Domestic love.
Third-Romantic love.
Fourth-Friendship
Fifth-Patriotism.
Sixth-Love of humanity.
Decentralization.
