The decision of the.

The Homework Question -

(Toronto Globe)

. The school homework problem is not confined to a few other Canadian municipalities . It is being discussed in gland as a vital question, and the e, as here, of course, not by the pupils them- selves. Possibly a great lack of un- animity would be found among pu- Piis as their elders if it were sub- mitted t0 them for, as the Head- master of the Wakefield Grasnmer School writes in the Yorkshire Post. "a general abolition of home IC€OH would only mean that the in ifferent and lazy would be nuca-e indifferent and lazy, while there would be no stopping the in- dustrious and ambitious.’

The problem is not a simple one, states the schoolmaster, pointing to the aken idea that, ‘in schools of Great Britain anyway, the whole of the school day is spent‘ in academic study. "'I‘ho as- sertion is sometimes made," it‘ eon- tlnlles. "that if school-time is prop- erly employed there would b; no need for the work to be done at home. To say this is to overlook the fact that homework has a dis- tinct value of its‘ own, l1ot as a makeweight for any possible dgflg- lencles in time allocation in school, but as a time of activity calling into play certain-moral and intel- lectual qualities not otherwise easily cNcfOlSlblB. "Vllhen children are thrown upon their own re- sources and the resources of such books and persons as may be with- in their reach at home. and when they cann depend upon an acade- mic enviroment for aid in the so- lution of problems or the acquis- ition of knowledge, they my“; 4e. vciop- their powers of independent lllquiry and research and individual thought and reflection; in the rc- sult their mental powers are exer- ciilled andstiengthened, and the qualities of self-reliance, initiative and filial} ndence are fostered."
