RESPONSE


Education now is made interesting
TO the children and therefore agreea-
fable; but, reasons the victims Of the
old system Of education, nothing that
is interesting and pleasant about educa-
ton is worth while; therefore, modern
education is not efficient because get
lting an education must be stern bus
mess with birchings and beatln >,
and all the other semi-barbaFie pro-
ceedings which the very people who
cry for 'sternness' would be the first
to denounce a teacher OF their children
for doing.
There has been greater progress in
scientific medical practice than in any
other profession, but the physician is
never subjected to editorial criticism
for the use of fads, irills and folderois,
because he has discarded dispr0yed
me lical theories and practices Of a de-
cade or two ago. And yet a lyman
in education, entirely Ignorant OF child
psychology, and, OF the enormous val
ne play ana interest in the education Of
young children, denounces editoriasiy,
ike doleiul Jeremiah, the modern
tendencies in education, with more
confidence in his own judgment Khan
Horace Mann or a John Dewey.
EVERY observant parent ami teach
er has seen a young child spend one,
two. or even three hours or more 10
continuous effort, involving real phys
ical labor and drudgery, to accomplish
an end which he has set up for himself
and which appeals to his childish mind
as worthwhile. Judged by adult
standards-and that is the kind 81
standards that the adult novice in ed
ucation always uses-the end the child
seeks seems trivial, useless, or fool
ish; but to the child il is sine qua
non, a sunlmua bonunt. IL is the puI-
pose of modern education to set up
aims that will appeal to the child for
as many of the school room tasks as
possible, and the more skilled the
teacher, the more she is able to make
real work pleasant; and by the very
nature of child life, work done with
worth while end that the child himself
realizes, is the kind OF work that leaves
the most lasting impression, and there
fore, has the greatest educational val
ne. 10 the young child the end must
be near; as he grows older the end
may be more remote; and In the adult,
the end may be even years ahead, and
vet serve the same purpose. But such
adult ends aud aims cannot be imposed
upon the child; Il is the teachers task
10 break up her own more or less re-
mote but specific aim into series OF
aims that appeal to the child as more
immediately worthwhile from the
viewpoint of the child himself. And
the adult who does not get feeling of
satisfaction or pleasure out OF his
work is but a sorry workman indeed.
1.-THE teaching profession is accused,
In another Evening Sun editorial, OF
over-sensitiveness to criticism; in re-
atty, no other profession welcomes so
whole eatedly, real constructive sug-
gestions. But there is nothing to be
gained by destructive, inane, and ig-
norant fanlt-finding, while there is a
possibility that the public be misled
into the belief that those engaged in
educational work are incompetent, or
lacking in good common sense. +"

DEAREST MApoE /:

DEAREST MADGE:
haven't written for so long that
simply have oceans to tell you. Oh,

ing Literary Romance" In the cast
were Theodore Davis, Tony Chandler,
Jane Gray, Geraldine Albrittain, Elsie
Gray and Emile Rowe. AS usual, Au-
drey played all piano Accomplishments.
Now Madge, If YOU could only have
seen those boys from Hawaiian Hall
in that last act, | am sure you would
revise your opinion of those dashing
young Beau Brummels. What a sight
they we're in "Yawping in the Morning
when the Rising Bell has Rlng, sung
by Alfred Sweeney and the chorus
from Hawaiian Hall. The curtain
fell as our old friend Chandelier Davis
gave the famous crow OF victory.
Madge, am going to write again
soon apd tell you all about tie Hiawa-
than Circus on Washington's Birth
day. You just must come. You re-
member its success last year-well,
this year, bigger and better than ever.
A surprise awaits every one.
Yours until the Rooster crows again;
