mostly from springs.
Item II. The water under the

should be at least three feet deep
and free from visible suspended
material.
Observation: The water un-

harvesting is from IL to Is

THE PHILOSOPHY OF PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION
Why GreenOe1t children rather than grade hem
We could not do otherwise than group if admin
istrative practices in education to keep pace
with current knowledge of child development
must modify and refine grade promotion idea
if to the lock-step system.
Hence organization into larger units group
one chill dren Without previous school experience,
group two, group three and group four respectively
which allows the retention of the group Of
children two year period wi thout the pressure
of promotion and failure decisions be made annual
~. This plan also provides the added desired 6ea
of having the children remain vi tn the
longer for the purpose of becoming thoroughly
quatnted, and of directing continuous growth.
This plan lessons the tension the part of
pupils, grade goal is set for attainment educa-
ton deals with the indivi dual each child be-
ing given educational opportunity for growth and
the emhases is removed from the small differences
existing between successive grades.
This latter plan. negatively stated, which is
unfair to the child is best understood by the people
who have moved into several states in the Union and
found each state considering grade standard from
different aspect.
Let's give the present grouping plan a fair trial
and all work intell1 gently to improve this plan.
There factors to be considered in classifi
cations. This topic. alone. would provide year's
program of study for any Parent-Teacher Group.
