Children are really doing things at school now. They I beg to stay after four" and refuse to stay at home for a toothache" ` or a ` headache or any of tlie time-worn excuses. They insist on going In fwhcn perhaps their health woul-.1 demand that they stay at home ! E And what is Lhc cause of such a change 2 Simply becau.-"e ihe iteacher and the curriculum recognize that children will learn and be hap- I py by being active--by doing things with the hands. And \vhat a change _ ;is this to the old classroom that` we knew ! There, everyone had to sit lup and be quiet. But chil=;iren do not learn by sitting up and |being quiet. They learn and develop, and grow strong mentally and `physically, by being active and doing things. On this knowledge the _whole new programme of studies is built, and it is arrange:.i by choosing ' those activities which are interesting to the pupils at dilferent ages. l Yes, interest is the key to activity programme. For example, chil- dien of the primary grades are interested chieliy in- the home, and so 3. the teacher undertakes to build a miniature home in the classroom; to 2 "t the different rooms with 1'urniLure ; to represent father, mother, and lmenibers of the family. Here the activity is the medium through which the child learns to write such words as father, mother, s.`ove, etc.; he learns to read and to spell. The teacher uses it as a means of teach- in,_g health, habits, manners, civics and almost any subject on the pro- S`granune, suited to the children s `age. All through this one activity of ``making' a home" the teacher s.L;il1'ully guides the language and expres- sion of the pupils--~and the work is eagerly done because it is based on interest. q.......+.ms.~ uva urn Inr-linnrl to think that children are not interestedl l L i. t The Ominous Silence of the Oldtime School Has Given Way to Cheerfulness and Activity. \u_y xx.

But ii you make him thirsty, he will drink. Both teachers and parents in the past have not used the child s interest as a medium of instruction. This has now been remedied in the new programme of studies, and the skilful teacher, who understands the underlying principles, is in a posi- tion to bring about rapid development that means mental health, initia- tive, the development of personality and the formation of character. lThe amazing thing about classroom activities is that children really !learn to think. Under the old system the teacher did most of the talking and all of the thinking, and if a child had initiative and did in- ' dependent thinking, it usually got him into trouble. Uruder the new ' order, the mischievous boy has abundant outlet for his active mind and those that are less active are stimulated through interest and activity.
