, /temporary situation.

WE AND OUR NEIGHBORS

Failure May Mean Ability ’

Lies In Other

Directions

Ruhamah S. Frank

This has been a month of mu- sic festivals, drama festivals — and entrance examinations bringing joy and triumph to many young peo-ple (and their parents); sadness and defeat to others. Not .many years ago I had hoped that competition at least a m o n g school children might be played down if not en- tirely eliminated. I was all in fa- vor of the modern idea (“pro- gressive education,” if you will) that children, certainly at ele- mentary school level if not high- er, should compete with them- selves rather than their class- mates. I felt it was better in ev- ery way — for character building as well as mental and physical health — for Johnny to try and improve his own record in read.- ing or arithmetic rather than “beat” or even equal Harry or Mary’s record — often beyond Johnny’s capaci-ty and resulting in bitterness and resentment and neglect'of those capacities and qualities Johnny did possess.

COMPETITIVE WORLD

Now I am in doubt. In the end perhaps it can be as damaging to the young person to" try and prepare him to live in a kinder, less insecure world than it in stern reality is—or promises to be for a long time to come — as to make him face up to that real- iiy as early as possible.

In the case of failure to pass the entrance examinations, how- ever, I hope no word of censure or reproach from parents or tea- chers is added to the humiliation and disappointment of the fail- ure itself. To blame is unjust. In a large majority of failures the candidate did not have the mental ability or (and) the per- sonality needed for that particu- lar task — compared to those who passed. It is true that some schools prepared students better than others and individuals here and there might have passed un- der improved instruction. But re-

peating the course can remedy .

t11e.basic reason for failure. CHECK UP

We can check up on this if we think back over our own ‘failures and successes at every period of our lives. By and large weren't we most successful where things came to us “naturally” without terrific effort? Effort there was — and plenty of drudgery to ov- ercome, but not that strain and gloom that lay heavy upon us while we struggled with projects that usually ended in failure. Ge- nerally speaking the abilities of those who did not pass their en- trance examinations lie in differ- ent directions.

VOCATIONAL 11.8.

The time will come soon, I hope when there will be separ- ate high schools for the less aca- demic- minded of our young peo- ple. These high schools will stress vocational training. Basic English, literature, arithmetic. science, ‘geography, history, art and music will figure largely in these schools with opportunities for -advlanced study for those who mature later and show they are ready. Modern aptitude tests and interest 'tests~.a:s well as in- telligence tests will give a clue to the sort of work these young folks are best fit.ted for — and
