SCHOOLS WITHOUT REGULATIONS

The school of the future, described by
educator in charge of a group of city junior high
schools will be furnished with tables and chairs The
pupils will sit at tables studying and the teacher will
go from liable to table for few minutes of personal
attention to each child, stopping particularly with
those who don't understand the lesson who are
stuck some knotty problem.
The present style of recitations will disappear
They waste the time of pupils who know the lesson It
is not helpful to the bright pupils to hear the dull
stumbling and faltering in a recitation. Nor is it
helpful to the dull pupils who don't yet understand
the lesson to hear the bright through it.
# classes could be small enough that recitation
would be general discussion, bringing out and in
teresting points and coordinang the different points
in the lesson recitng would be of more value than
when it is confined to repeating nemorized facts.
The school room Of today is different in good
many respects from the school room of our parents
childhood The schoo of the future undoubtedly
will be different in its turn. The true purpose of edu
cation probably be served by many methods The
best method is the adapted to the conditions and
temper of the time.

SYMPATHY FOR JAPAN

Again the sympathy of the world goes out to Japan
stricken once more by earthquake. While forum
ae neither the loss of life property is as great as
that occasoned by the gigantic disaster of 1928 1t is
sufficiently serious to bring sorrow and hardship to
thousands of the japanese people.
Terrible the tragedy is, it will not daunt the Jap
anese In previous times they have showed their
courage and forttude in refusing to be overwhelmed
by calanities of this Sort and it will be the same in
this instance
Already relief is pouring into the devastated areas,
the japanese government demonstrating to the world
remarkable efficiency and organization in taking
mand of the situation.
Natives of japan throughout the world will aid in
the relief work ties of knshp to the mother country
being always strong, and particularly in time of
trouble
AS it has dore in the past the United States in adj
dton to extending formal sympathy to the Japanese,
has inquired if it be of any assistance from the
outside world, it will find America foremost among
the nations desiring to aid.
This Willingness aid is indicative of the true
spirit of the American people, fact we'll recognized
in Japan, where deaf ear is turned to the few who
would have the aparese people consider the Amerl
can nation in different light. The friendship be-
tween the two countries has been founded strong
basis and has been strengthened many occasions by
exchanges of mutual admiration and sympathy.
