CONGRESS OPENS
SHORT SESSION
Farm Leaders to Seek to De-
LAY Relief Action Until
After March 4.

Washington-The second and final
session of the SEVENTEEN congress
buckled down to business Monday in
an atmosphere surcharged with specu-
lation with regard to the purposes
and policies of the new administration
that will come into power on March 4.
There is now, and probably will con-
tinue to be a great delay of talk about
farm relief legislation, but few leaders
believe that anything will be accom-
plished in this direction in the short
session of congress that will mark the
passing Of President Coolidge to pri-
vate life
Most Of the spokesman of the farm
bloc are opposed to the consideration
of any general agricultural measure,
preferring to defer action on this ques-
tion until the induction of Mr.. Hoover
into office. They made no bones Of
saying that they are predisposed to
treat on this subject with President
Hoover rather than President Coolidge,
who twice vetoed the McNary-Haugen
formula. 1t is accepted as foregone
conclusion that the way will be paved
this winter for general revision of
the tariff at a special session that most
leaders believe will be called at some
time during the coming year to be de-
termined by Mr.. Hoover.

PROGRESSIVE IDEAS MAKE SCHOOL
LOVED BY CHILDREN.

By Mrs. Gladys Huntington Bevans.
Did you ever stop and, think what an
arbitrary and forced thing school is in
the life Vi achiId?
His desire is to grow, to be outdoors, 10
be free and 10 follow his interest where
and for as long as it leads him Our
course for him takes this out of his hands,
confines him and imposes the regime of
school upon him. Education as it is com.
monty practised today is really an artificial
phase of a child's life.
Now that we have come to rea-
, 1928-08-27

lie this we are beginning to try to
make school more natural to and more
truly harmonious with the growth of
young things.
Last summer in Germany there was
a great gathering Of educators and
teachers the former to give the fruits
Of their thought and eXperience-the lat
ter to listen and accept or reject the find
ings of the leaders.
And why did so many men and women
give up their own personal desires and
spend their hard earned money to
travel to this conference of progressive
education? Because they realized that
education needs new viewpoints. new
ideas, and new technique to overcome
the artiticialIty Of schools as they are to-
day-and because they were looking for
light.
If our SCHOOLS are to improve radically
the change cannot be effected entirely by
the educators. Parents must realize
the neeu of advanced ideas of education
before they will urge their introduction
into the schools. They must understand
the aims Of progressive education before
they can cooperate with the teachers.
Here are some OF the fundamental
ideals that lie back Of progressive educa
ton today.
School is to be made for the children,
not children made to fit the school.
Trust and not fear is the foundation of
discipline
The teacher is not a superior being "a
mentO-but a friendly guide.
Children are led to think and Judge
for themselves, not merely to learn facts.
Scientific but also sympathetic under
standing of the individual differences be-
tween children is to be striveh for.
The ideal condition is to have in The
schoolrOom a freedom similar to that pre-
vailing in a we'll ordered home.
The chief aim of progressive education
is not the question OF subject matter, but
health OF body, mind and spirIt.-N Y.
