Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. sPROwLs.
Character Education.

THE newest thing in education Is
character education, despite the
fact that education and character
have always been recognized as COM
panions. During the present century
psychology has discovered many new
facts concerning the nature Of human
beings. and these discoveries have
revolutioni1ed educational aims and
methods.
Psychologists and educators agree
that character traits are inherited in
large degree. Human beings are born
with certain general impulses. Some
of these inherited impulses are weak
others are strong. Out Of them weak
or strong set Of character traits may
develop. The business Of the newer
education Is to try to reform these
dispositions by encouraging some i'm
pulses and discouraging others. So
the educational program stresses So
cial training.
Look at the original human set|ur
from another angle: Some persons
are born bright; others dull. The de-
grees of brightness or dullness can be
determined fairly rather early in life
This information suggests differences
In types Of school work.
So 1t comes that character educa.
ton turns out to be graded and con-
trolled experiences. Little by little
disposition Is established. This dis.
position, whatever 1t turns out to be
Is popularity known as ones character

How 1t Started

ia 06hAN ANHV AOANs
Dear sir: In more years than ]
can remember, the origin Of the
term %. K" has been . tradition
in our family-a tradition I have
never seen in print. To me all the
printed origins are far-fetched and
unlikely.
My grandfather first told me the
origin and he was born in 1905 and
his father, believe, told it to him,
and the latter graduated abroad in
time to reach st. Louis by the year
1900.
According to these authorities,
the term comes from oak" of which
the English ships some $50 years
ago were built, ard it might have
been Drake who first gave the order
to close in on the Spaniard with the
added assurance that his ships were
all oak. What more natural, then
than for the sailors to shout, Let
her up; she Is all oak"?
Anything that was good was %. k
to them and became term used In
shipping to signify the goods were
o. K. At any rate, so it has beer
handed down to me from . period
covering more than . century and
so have handed 1t down to my
grandson.
Even so years ago ok" meant
1t was good" and In no case did II
mean II agree" This Is o recent use
of the expression.
Yours, sincerely,
JOHN Z. FIELD.
