tk home is fte jeeessaiy we have knonn for a song tune that i home was ceasing to be any good for most of the purposes for which it used to be considered important and useful we are horn in hospitals we are educated in schools our social life is carried on in iioicls am clubs we die in hospitals again and we are buried from an undertakers establish ment thus are scattered most of the activities which formerly made the home important and kept it busy the lastest blow 10 that time honored in stitution has been delivered by the british parliament which has decid ed that the home is not the proper place for doing homework when ever practicable preparation on the school premises should he substituted for homework says the resolution which was adopted hy the british leg islators recently their decision has beeti greeted by three cheers by ev ery school hoy and every school girl in al parts of the british empire but there seems t us to he some mis understanding about it all nothing is said about reducing the hours of the school day now devoted to actual teaching if any preparation is to he done at all therefore it will evi dently have to be in timo additional to the lime already spent in the school building is it intended that the chil dren shall come 10 school earlier or that they shall stay there longer or thai i hey shall come back again in the evening it the legislators had had the courage to say something about this in their resolution instead ot saying noshing about anything except the abolition if homework they would have evoked fur less enthusiasm among the voters of the future but it is the habit of legislators always to be very definite about the things that will make them popular is15 a month for example and completely indefinite or completely silent about anything which will have the oppos ite effect we ilo not believe that tne school children of today are seriously over worked either in tlreat britain or in canada we do not believe that they can acquire anything oven resembling an education with a reasonable am ount of preparation and we do not see why the taxpayers should have to pay a large body of public servants not merely to teach and examine the children during their instruction hours but also to invigilate them during the preparation period however we rea lize that the average modern home with three bridge tables in the front parlor a radio in the nack parlor a motor car in the garage and two mov ing pictures just around the corner is a place in which the preparing ot lessons is becoming increasingly dif ficult besides ihere is the distress ing fact that children themselves do not like preparation they no longer object to school itself modern meth ods have made it a place of agreeable entertainment rather than of difficult work but preparation consists of ac tually learning things or writing things or figuring things it cannot he done without work and ihe child ren do not like it they will not like it any better when it is carried on at the school premises so the next step will prosuniabbly be to abolish it al together toronto saturday night illtis iiants like japanese farm house foi our restaurant of
