The true function of the schcol. and indeed its reason for ex- isting, is forgotten. The pupil ch- tcrs school and soon uncritically ac- cepts its archaic procedure and, its medieval standards. Only in his ex- tra-curricular life, and in the know- ledge that his schooling must sooner cr later come to an end, does he find an outlet and asafety valve which prevents him from being emotion- ally deranged by the artificiality of the environment. For the sake of clearness let us consider Just one example of failure on our‘ part to meet the changing to drink conditions of life with corresponding misan- changes in curricula. Our arithmetic ole time- texts of today still contain and our courses of study still prescribe such problems as those dealing with Apo- thecaries and Troy weights, the sum and difference of two rates, allega- tion. etc. Now we have no quarrel with such topics from the standpoint anthem of mental gymnastics, but the ques- brought up to date in the subtitle m)“ w biimnsidemd '57 of a recnet American motion pict- the space i" “u” iexbbmks ‘ind m‘? .precious time and effort of our ipupils in deallngwith these anti- quated problems while there is so rnuch that is new and alive and per- tinent to the present day world left untouched? ‘and problems were probably quite in order when many of our texts were written. It does not follow. however, that they are today any more than that the business methods and farm- ing methods of twenty years ago are sufficient for present day needs. We who teach are not without blame in this matter either. the resistance to change on the part of the vested interests within itself. the school ,progress. The teacher, always train- ed in a. school of an earlier genera- tion, tends to perpetuate the know- ledges and skills thathc was-taught. He opposes, quite naturally, any lin- portarit change in either method of presentation or struction. Such a change is perni-| '- cicus because it interferes with his routine and even destroys a part of his working capital. Wherever so- ciety establishes aii institution, it creates a structure change, it gives a hostage to things as they are; and while this institu- tion. at the time oi‘ its inception, may represent an advance over the post. it may also be an obstacle to future achievement. must be ready i0 grow and change with the world in which he lives. for l sa\v nifew lines in this connection the other day which, although they may appear extreme to us are nevertheless; thought pro- follows:-- pupils. the master said: ‘What would you learn of 1110'?‘ and the reply came:- How shall we care for our bodies?
