HALLOWEEN PARTY A SUCCESS

The Halloween social held at Scat
fold Cane School on Saturday night
was quite a success. The largest
crowd that has ever gathered for an
indoor party met at the school be-
tween six and six-thirty, altho the
social was scheduled for seven
o'clock. Ghosts, witches and jack-o-
lanterns were present enough to
cause the children to squeal and
scream. After a short program,
consisting of some excellent singing
by the school children, a cracker-eat-
ing and whistling contest,--in which
the older men won over boys and wo-
men-a goblin story by the ghost, and
Little Orphant Annie" by one of
the Berea College girls; the time was
spent in games and contests. Pinnig
the tail on the donkey caused a great
deal Of laughter because several
times the wrong donkey was given
the addition.
The social ended by community
singing and a short talk by Mr.
Strong. All left expressing them
selves as having enjoyed the fun
thoroly. The social was managed by
members of the class in Recreational
Leadership of Berea College. The
people of the community entered
heartily into the games and invited
the class to come again. There were
about hundred and twenty or thirty
people present.

In n teachers meeting n member
said, "a girl who was doing poorly
came to me and asked me {, give her
some questions on the next lesson.
I have done so since and she is do
irg better. Was that the right thing
to do ?"
That request reveals how dark the
wav NAV seem 20 the slow or poorly
prepared learner Such reed n
guiding hand for a time. They lose
their way otherwise in the expanse OF
unfamiliar terms and thought. Like
the marirer, they must he given
courses, points TO make IL they reach
the port Of knowledge.
The teacher was right, but that
request awakened another thought in
the mind Of tine leader Of the meet
ing, a believer in cooperative tab
ing. Why should not some member
Of the class furnish that girl TIE
needed questions? There are those
IN every class who find their way
clearly, who are not working up to
a third of their ability. Why should
not they be called in TO help out in
the teaching? The furnishing the
questions might well be accounted as
that students preparation Of the les
son.
This incident led to asking still
further. "Is il the role Of the teacher
TO ask questions, give topics, and the
role Of the pupil 10 answer. To re-
cite? That seems to have become
the procedure. the air In class
rooms. The teacher sees in the days

ment, at the expense of the thought

Ways Of Cooperative Teaching
May there not be safer, saner wavs
Of making the pupil the teacher, the
teacher the learner? Anyone Of the
following courses works toward such
cooperation in the common task Of
learning:
%. The teacher may, and should,
say at the beginning Of the recita-
ton, What questions have you on
today's lesson?' As the questions
come, other pupils may be called on
to answer, or the teacher may do so.
Later, il the pupil says that he did
not understand that point in his study
of it, he may be asked why he did
not say so at the opportunity given ?
He and the others may thus learn

work on the next lesson, to write out
from five TO ten questions covering

This cooperative teaching IL one Of

evils Of our class system Of ins,ruc-
ton, for the best can do from three
TO four times what the poorest can
do. and twice what the average pupil
can do. Ability, whoever has IL.
should be put to use for the good of
the whole. Give youth responsibil-
ity. IL saves them as democracy
does n people.
But, better still. this cooperative
effort is one Of the best ways of
bringing up the poorest third. II
provides individual helpers. A class
mate is often better helper than the
teacher. knows more quickly what the
matter is. II Is more stimulating,
for this helper Is Of his own class,
not q teacher.
There may be other ways Of this
cooperation than those suggested.
The teacher who thinks, plans for il,
can find some way Of eomradcship
with the learner in the pursuit Of
learning. II is not so much what the
teacher does with the taught that
counts, as what the taught do with
the teacher. Then the school is no
longer a company made up Of one
captain and many privates, but il is
an organization so functioning that
any may teach and any may learn as
best serves the one common purpose
Of all, learning. II is this change of
spiritual atmosphere that our class
rooms most needed. This Is no new
need, nor are class-rooms with the
air Of all working together unknown.
Any one can call up some teacher that
gave TO the effort for learning such
nobility.
