' by advocating a department of`par-- , enthood and nursery for study in public schools along the lines agreed . upon by physicians,-psychologists-and soci,ologists., Facing such a monu- mental puzzle, is it any wonder the pupil hides `his books under the walk ' and takes tothe more philosophical course of shin ? Schemes advo- cated at the convention seem to be divided between a frilled process and areal desire to give the pupil a` know- ledge of the fundamentals that will serve him for practical purposes. Mr. Carefoot declared that, students leaving school are not, in this day, practical; they lack judgment and sense of responsiblity, and are un- able? to apply themselves steadily to work. Is it not self evident, if that is true, that the student has failed to absorb, in sense of feeling, those fun- damentals that should lead him to honest ambition in the active real- ities of life`! More fundamentals _and less process is the practical rem- edy. FBI... 1:..I- 1..`4_.-_-.. I__vus-- ,_ __x A, ,
