These other important learnâ€" ings and attitudes do not show in examâ€" ination marks. The really jimportart matters have to do with the developâ€" ment of the pupil‘s attitude as shown in his industry, his honesty, sincerity, alertness and such. These are all matâ€" ters that do not show on the examinaâ€" tion pape:. "Studying a book may not be studyâ€" ing at all. It may be a mere memorizâ€" ing of words that mean next to noâ€" thing. This course emphasizes that studving of books should mean underâ€" standing the contents. Facts are imâ€" portant but much imcre important is the way the facts are learned. If a child himself connects the facsts with his past experience, he learred, and only to the extent that he thinks about the facts does he truly learn factr. Of far greater importance than the amount he knows is the way he underâ€" stands what he has learned. A few reâ€" lationships fully understood and reâ€" lated to life are much more valuable than much book learning unrelated to life.

Overâ€"anxiety about the progress of children is one of the greatest mistakes in education. Teachers, through parâ€" erts‘ complaints, frequently resort to forced feeding and then often give up with the pronouncement that the child is dumb. He is not dumb. The chances are that his success lies in some other field and not in the academic lire. "ELach child should be giyen an portunity to develop his abilitiese to their highest capacity.

Although it is impossible for us to know all of the children in this detailed way, it is possible for us to be aware of the endless combiration of forces acting upon the growing personality, to be alert to signs of emotional conflicts, and to understand where to look for further information when needed. It is important that the teacher be on the alert for danger signals, for overt misâ€" behaviour is not the cnly way by which children may react to their difficulâ€" ties. Even those things in the child‘s conduct that persons approve or comâ€" mend may be conditions that will lead to serious maladjustment. The good child is not always the wellâ€"adjusted child, and parents should take all necessary measures to assist the child to overcome maladjustment}> The best of parents cannot be as objective in their educational efforts as are good teachers. It is the nature of the parent to be emotionally involved where their children are ecncerned, thus not disâ€" cerning maladjustments that are seen by a good teacher. Teachers cannot have the same interest in their chilâ€" dren as their respective parents, preâ€" cisely because the two are different. Parents and teachers can make their educational contributions in distinct yet complementary ways." In summarizing the difference in aim between the present and former plans of education, Mr. Transom said the New School aimed to change:â€" from an emphasis upon only a few types of training to an education that includes every possible type; from an almost complete neglect of the physical type of training, to a great concern with education for physical fitness and health: ‘from a curriculum that is limâ€" ited to factual knowledge and mental activities to one that includes physical, social and moral activities also; from a curriculum that is made up of traâ€" ditional material to one more related to the present life; from a course that ignores individual differences to one that ascertains the differences and thus attempts to develop each child‘s abiliâ€" ties to their highest yel; from a meâ€" thod that is concerned chiefly with ard treatment. We have learned that in the schoolroom we teach not averâ€" age children but to particular boys and girls It is necessary for us to keep constantly in mind the fact that the individual‘s child classroom â€" adjustâ€" ments or behaviour are often influenced by factors that never appear in conâ€" versation or in lessons. We know that children vary as to their intelligence, their special interests, capacities and thcir temperament. But they also vary them through discipline and authority. The school is being changed from a passive learring school which cultivated verbatism and memorization into an active school in which the pupil is an active participant in the learning proâ€" cess. The new tendsncies are dominant in every couritry. ‘"Mental and sccial maladijustments cause tremendous waste and suffering . Since childhocod offers the greatest cpportunity for personality guidance it tehooves the school to study the prclâ€" lems of child adjustment and to do its share in a programme of prevention "The present course stresses the value of independent thinking on the part of the child, and relating the knowledge to the child‘s past experiences. Knowâ€" ledage should be meaningful, so we are instructed to make the school situation resemble the situations that are to be met in later life in all possible ways. In general, the more closely school reâ€" sembles actual life conditions, the more likely it will be that valuable school habits will become a part of the child. attempts to develop each child‘s abiliâ€" ties to their highest from a meâ€" thod that is concerned chiefly with making the mind a storehouse of meanâ€" ingless facts to one that develops wellâ€" integrated individuals prepared to meet problems in a rapidly changing world; "Here is a 96â€"inch dog being wagged by a fourâ€"inch tail"â€"so President Roosevelt illustrated his Jackson Day dinner address in Washington reâ€" cently when he attacked a minority which he charged intends to make a struggle "to the last ditch to retain autocratic control" over the counâ€" trv‘s economy. lFme Game of Hockey at |\~ Iroquois Falls Sdtmddy | _ _Night.

Patzer, the invincible goalie for the Monarchs, stopped many beautiful shots by the Ekimos, and kept the score down considerably. _ A. Abramson kept the Monarchs busy watching all the time, and he plays both beautiful defence and a forward game. The two Gauthâ€" ier lads for the Eskimos were excellens, as was Gagnon, Hume and Catteralo for the Monarchs. In closing, Mr. Transom said:â€""The present course is a preliminary tryout and will be thoroughly revised before next September. Education is in a stage of transition, full of uncertainâ€" ties and groping for new expression. Over 95 per cent. 0# the world‘s leadâ€" ing educators are dissatisfied with the traditioral methods, but are uncertain as to the best methods to meet conâ€" ditions in a rapidly changing world. All are agreed that a child must be educated as a member of scciety. He must be prepared to meet new situaâ€" tions, trained to think and feel, and conscious of his responsibilities as a member of society. Ability to meet new situations and good citizenship are the chief ends of education, and I think the present course is a change in the right direction." from a course concerned chiefly with traditional knowledge to one that emâ€" phasizes in addition current events and local problems:; from a course that treats children as if they were sponges whose most important function is to accept unquestionally, to one that disâ€" cusses controversial questions, giving children a chance to express themâ€" selves freely, thus preparing children for a democratic society; from educaâ€" tion based on subject matter, to eduâ€" caticn based on child development and growth; from education that is limitâ€" ed to adult interests, to education that takes into consideration the interests of the child; from a narrow education limited to book knowledge, to one that prepares for a liberal education, as music, manual training, literary appreâ€" ciation, thus creating a desire to read widely; from education that considers behaviour as an act determined by the child, to one that treats behaviour as a result of past experiences and malâ€" adjustment; from education that preâ€" pares entirely for examinations to one that always considers "what is best for the child." The game was a fine display of hocâ€" key, and the boys can boasit of a no penalty game to their credit. Passing on both.teams was very good, as was the checking. Team work was demonâ€" first period started out with beth teams playing defensive, but at anâ€"early interval Gagnon broke through the Falls defence to score on Walsh at 4 minutes play. This livened things up considerably, and both teams were goâ€" ing after it. Cameron, R. Gignac and Kenny played rice team work, but on trying to score failed to pass Patzor. Hume and Catterello were gcod on team work, but were unable to get the puck past the Eskimo blue line in this periâ€" od. Olavson, going down with Beaâ€" han, managed to score a beauty at 9 minutes play. Hume netted another for the Monarchs at 15 minutes play. when Walsh having stopped two close ccnsecutive shots, let the third in. E. Gauthier, breaking away from centre ice went down and placed the puck past Patzer for a second coutat 16 minutes play. Hume made the Monâ€" archs one up when he repeated the play, drawing Walsh out, who again had stopped two shots to let the third in. work in this period, and passing to Patterson often, kept all on their toes. Patterson and Gagnon going down toâ€" gsether, managed to score a beauty, Gagnon scoring with an assist from Patterson at 6 minutes. Patterson was right there in a scramble in front of the Falls net, and slipped it in at 8 minutes gone, for a count of 5. This playing by the Morarchs made the Eskies more aggressive, and Cameron was able to score, with an assist from Abramson at 9 minutes. Montgomery scored on a long shot from the Eskimo blue line, at 11 minutes. The two Gauthiers with Olavson, working their wellâ€"timed passâ€" ing, made two nrear scores, but Patzer was in the way as usual. Beahan tried on a lone run, but the puck glanced clear on the goal post. Thomas for the Monarchs scored at 17 minutes, when he and Catterello greased past the Palls defence.

Particularly detrimental are the exâ€" hibition games in the Mines League in which Hollinger Juniors and Dome Seniors take part. The games have no bearing on the league standing and fans and players alike are conscious of the fact. Crowds at these affairs are rapidly reaching the vanishing point which is a clear indication that the public is turning sour.. Striking eviâ€" dence of this claim is the fact that in South Porcupine on Wednesday night Dome Seniors and Buffaloâ€"Ankerite Inâ€" termediates playved an exhibition Mines League game before a house of 47 paid admissions.. The argument has been that if Dome are dropped from the Mines League South Porcupine will be lacking in hockey but 47 paid admisâ€" sions indicates that enthusiasm for exâ€" hibition gaimes is in reverse gear in South End. On the other hand when Dome play a scheduled game with any team in their Senior N.O.H.A. group, the rink is a sellâ€"out. "Al" Huggins, manager of Dome Seniors, admitted to The Advance that the exhibition games his team plays in the Mines League are "just a workout." That the clubs are not taking exhibition The third period was a no score periâ€" od, and all players working to the last. The Monarchs were still fast in this period, and made many near scores, when they broke away. The Eskimos kept the puck pretty well up around the Monarchs net this period, and Patzer had to be good to stop the shots pepâ€" pered at him. E. Gauthier, G. Gauthâ€" ier and P.

Mackenzie King had named the two Ontario Senators to take the place of two passing away. The two new Senators are Hon. Duncan Marshall, recently Minister of Agriculâ€" ture in the Hepburn Cabinet, and Mr. Norman Lambert, president of the Naâ€" tional Liberal Association. Hon. Mr. Marshall has been an active Liberal for a lifetime. It was proposed by some of his friends that he be made Lieutâ€" enantâ€"Governor of Ontario, but this proposal roused so wide a chorus of disâ€" approval that the idea was dropped. It was necessary, however, to give Mr. Marshall something in view of the work he had done for the Liberal party. Hence his appointment to the Senate. Senator Norman Lambert, the other appointee to the Senate, has also been a specially valuable member of the Liberal party. Although living in recent years at Ottawa, he is a native son of Mount Forest, Ont. He is at least the second Maunt Forest man to be given a place in the Senate. The other Mount Forest representative in the Senate was Hon. James McMullen. Sengtor Lamâ€" bert is a wellâ€"known newspaperman. His father, the late J. A. Lambsert, was for many years the editor and proprieâ€" tor of The Mount Forest Representative.

Someone must be getting the short end of the deal. The Mines League etecutive should be conscious of the fact that exhibition games have turned out to be a flop. Before the whole league does a nose dive it would be well to rewrite the schedule and eliminate Hollinger and Dome from future competition in this league. The public are not going to be kidded into paying good money to see exhibition games that produce everything but hockey.
