For who dare ing the old until the new is fin- say ishedl A prevailing note among fac our Island teachers is that some sort greater recognition should be giv- ured en to our basic industries of Agri- purpose of our system should he culture and fishing. For, they to say. and rightly so, four-fifths of s out people are engaged ln these basic industries as well as in the major industries, and still no par- s may be held regarding the mean- ing of education, there can be no I great difference of opinion regard- I ing the purpose of it up to the age I of eleven or twelve years. The child must gain mastery of the tools of learning. He must be tnuglit to read and write ,to acquire the elc- f ments of arithmetic, and to secure I enough of the rudiinents of coin- mon knowledge to serve as points of reference for later leariiiiigsi Incldentally_ he must learn to live I and work with a group bigger than his own family, Thus we come to the consideration of the curri- In a broad sense we niav say regarding curricula. One of these, the traditional one ,is that the school is the creature of the state, i and therefore the curriculum orl- ginates with the authority that establishes the school. The course of study is worked out according to certain definite objectives which are sought after by the usual pro- cesses of memorization ,iibsoi'ption_ andthe acquiring of skills and abilities in the time specified. The other philosophy begins with the child-centered school. The curri- culum is designed to allow each child an opportunity to develop his or her own particular talents. and to recognize adequately his acquisi- tion of_ and improvement in, those skills as will enable him to take his proper place in society as a comparatively happy and wcll- adjusted adult. That the curriculum in use at present is of the former oi~derI there can be no doubt.
