The new curriculum is the course of study introduced into the Ontario Public Schools beginning with the school term of September, 1937, 'Why a new curriculum? * In December of 1936 Dr. Simpson, Minister of Education for Ontario, ,"decidéd that the curriculum was ob- solete, that it had outlived its use- fulness. All the children were put through the same mould and no al- lowances were made for differences in children's ability and make-up. How was the new curriculum drawn up? Mr. Thornton Mustard, principal of Toronto Normal Schools, and Mr. Stanley Watson, principal of a To- ronto school, were granted leave of absence and upon the authority of . the Departmént of Education drew up the curriculum. How was this done, and how long did it take? The works of 300 English educa- tional experts were carefully ana- lyzed, the advice of some 3000 teachers was carefully considered; and many helpful suggestions were supplied by the inspectors. The "curritlum is the result of seven months exhaustive work. What in general is the aim or purpose of the. new curriculum? The new curriculum is designed to make the child happy, indus- trious, socially capable, willing, co- operative and healthy. It seeks to provide an individual rather than a uniform type of education. Does the new curriculum affect all the grades of the Public School ? At the present time, no. From Grade I to Grade VI the work is entirely based on the new curri- culum. In Grade VII, the only subject affected is history. Grade VIII remains unchanged. Why has it not been adopted in all Grades? The transition from one type of curriculum to another presents cer- tain problems. It was felt that it would be advisable to make the change in the upper Arades grad- ually. What will my child study in school ? + The Department lists these sub: jects: English about 30 per cent. social studies about 20 per cent.; health, natural science, music, art, and arithmetic, about 10 per cent. -each. What is included in social studies? Social studies embrace geography and history. But it is no longer the type of history and geography that was formerly aught. There will be no more memorization of history and geography notes. This study is to be related to and rowing out of .the experience of the child his interests. What about spelling, reading and writing ? Emphasis is placed on reading. The teacher must see to it that the reading is pleasurable. This im- plies of course that the child will be permitted to make his own sel- ection. Spelling and writing will no longer be taught as separate subjects. 1 thought arithmetic was the moktFimportant of school subjects. Why does the curriculum devote so 'little time to it? : Educators are ated that the old. course in arithmetic was im- portant out of all proportion to its real value, The child spent too much time on problems that had little or nothing to do with real life and futhermore the work was tedious and uninteresting. The new course plans to relate arith- metic to the problems encountered in the daily life of the child and to teach the child the arithmetic pro- cesses, as, and when the child re- quires them. Of course, the child will unconsciously. be learning arithmetic in making projects for social studies, in working out pro- blems in social studies, ete. How will I know how my child is getting on at school? Parents will receive reports as before, but since the new curricu- lum is attempting to rid the system of competition, standings will only be indicated by grades A, B, C. D. No more will you hear the child say "I stood first". It is interest- ing to note that the clever child will be required to do more and better work than the dull one in order to receive the same grading. What about promotions ? Here there is a revolutionary change. Promotion will be based on an estimate of the reading and arithmetic attainments of the child. and ° There will be far fewer failures, and generally speaking the grade a child is in will, in a large measure depend upon the age of the child. A child six years old will be in grade I, a child nine grade 1V, ete, After 1937 there will be no En- trance examination it is "stated, What other Shnges have been made ? That brings us to an interesting point. The old curriculum was very rigid, It held the teacher to a formal procedure and an authorized text.. The néw curriculum has no fixed subject matter, no text for each subject and therefore the pos- sibilities are infinite. The changes introduced by the teachers will be so varied, so diverse that it is im- possible to begin to deal with them. The teacher will be judged not by how she does it, but rather by the results achieved. Under the New Curriculum the teacher assumes a new responsibility and a new free- dom. Here are a few- innovations that IT have not touched upon; no homework; free and easy conversa- tions between pupils and tedcher in school periods; new emphasis on health program, etc. What are some of the difficulties that must be overcome? Thé teachers, on the whole, will find it difticult to adjust them- selves to the demands of the New Curriculum. It will take time for them to forget out-moded periods and practices incidental to the old curriculum, It will require much hard effort and conscious planning 'from them. Those teachers who are not prepared to make new sacrifices of time and energy will find the New Curriculum a very bad thing indeed. } The Department of Education and the local School Boards will have to be prepared to spend more money on education. At the present time schools are sadly handicapped by their lack of books, and books-- all kinds of books--até necessary to the New Curriculum. The parents will have to co- co-operate where possible by work- ing with the schools and sympath- izing with this-attempt to adapt the child to his or her environment. * * x ¥ AN ESSENTIAL IN EDUCATION By Miss L. GG. Stoner In our search for newer and bet- ter methods of instructing youth, and inculeating high principles, are we not in danger of forgetting, or overlooking, some of the old-time virtues that made for stability of character? In former days. it used to be said of --certain outstanding men, "His word is as good as his bond" . . A. good citizen felt responsible for his word or his promise given, and this applied to the most ordinary associations of life. "Father said so" was sufficient assurance that he would remember and keep his most casually made promise. - If he gave any assurance of assent to his fellow-men it meant that he would keep his agreement, meet an ap- pointment, ; remember to. fulfil. Now, too often, he 'forgets'; he 'changes his mind'; he reconsiders and alters his promise--indifferent- Iv and without the slightest com- punction he sets aside his voluntar- ily offered consent, He may have forgotten all about it"; been so busy it "completely slipped his mind" . . As a matter of fact, at the time, it saved a lot of bother to agree, but it néver ever regis- tered on his mind as an obligation. It is such an easy way out and is merely being socially agreeable. Alas! this often. applies to the most charming people in whom we have the highest confidence so far as their real integrity is concerned. It is not inate dishonesty, only a habit that may have, unconsciously, grown out of a desire to smooth the pathway in contacts with men, and, previously said, been the outcome of a wish to be pleasant. ~ Our children are growing up in this atmosphere; they do not phil- osophize they acdep t this as quite a natural attitude; i saves a lot of trouble; it 'saves face'; so they im- mediately adopt this easy evasion. A serious question arises; is it right that honorable Christian men and women look upon this untruth- ful characteristic with complais- ance, or without realizing that it has a tendency to unfaith in our dealings with out fellows ? Children, youth, have an almost uncanny faculty of reading deep-- 1 JIneAnstiatis]ju-the spirit of their elders We speak, with damay, of the unfaith of statesmen; we blame them for not keeping their election- eering promises and most spacious assurances. We speak, with hor- ror, of nations' broken pledges, un- kept obligations, and we wonder what is the matter with world _civil- ization, forgetting that nations are made up of individuals, and if our foRth are not trained in keeping aith at all costs, what is left upon which to rely? » EP -- BEER, me RED & WHITE ston | SHOES FOR COMFORT | Combination fitting shoes for men and marin Let us measure your foot, and fit you correetly. | Ladies'Black Kid Tie Shoes | in B, C, D, E Widths $4.38 Combination Fitting In 1 Cand E Widths $5.75 | MEN'S DONGOLA OXFORDS W.
