Educatior Must Be Adapted to System of Government ..f "It might be assumed that by studyâ€" ling the educational systems of other | countries we coulg take from them sucâ€" 3 iceswful experiences and adapt them to -‘o'our system.

This is more true at the present time when educational systems are founded on a national baâ€" sis.

National Forms of Education "How elss:, for example, can the difâ€" ‘ferent educational procedures in such countries as France, England, Italy, Russia, be explained. Educational sysâ€" tems are based on such important quesâ€" tions as the r2lation of the individual |to the state and to society. Ultimately, t however, qgifferences between national |systems of education consist, not so are not rational even about welfare, Education is the basis of all science and ind cation is the passing on of heritage, that is, of all knCc quired in the past. In | through education that continues. What nutrition cation is to sociai life. It has shown that advancemont in cul and social welfare parallel advance educatioral systems. In so far as terest in education slacks, to that : extent does that extent does that nation move in a systems of education consist, not so much in the courses of study as in seâ€" lection of the content of each subject and thke use to which it is put. History as a subject of instruction, for example, may in itself be quite neutral, and ‘be taught as we in Ontario are supposed to teach it, with the aim of developing an understanding of modern instituâ€" tions. On the other hand, it may ‘be used, as it is used, in Italy and Gerâ€" many, to develop bigotry and prejudice. Each national educational system tends to reflect the objectives, traditions and characteristics of the nation that it serves. Therefore the devices, methods and organization which make up an educational system cannot be transâ€" ferred from one country to another, but it would ‘be possible to adapt cerâ€" tain principles and practices to our system.

Accordâ€" ing to this point of view education is both a creative experience and coâ€" cperative social enterprise. Life is a process of continuous interaction of the individual and his environment. Eduâ€" cation is not learning about the remote past in order to prepare for the future. It is the constant devélopment â€" of meaningful present experience. ruere sxists an obligation on the part of the school to create and promote right soâ€" cial attitudes. The value of such social studies as history and geography is the promotion of social consciousness; but to bring this about, it is possible that the manner of presentation of thess subjects may require modification. Hisâ€" tory is essentially a study in the record of citizenship, of the behaviour of indiâ€" viduals as members of social groups. Mere knowledge shoulg not be misâ€" taken for education. Teachers who are alive to their responsibilities can n> longer be satisfied if their classes havâ€" ing mastered a suoject can give it back in recitation and examination. They must become more and more concerned with the behaviour of their pupils. The attitudes cf the children which the school develops are more important than tke facts learned. "The Department of Education is atâ€" tempting to integrate subject matter so as to provide a more integrated curviâ€" culum, that how a pupil °exâ€" perierces or learns is of equal impotrâ€" tance with what he learns. "In an educative procsss, say a geoâ€" eraphy lesson, the child learns not merely the subject matter, but a numâ€" ber of other matters of equal is no‘! greater importance., He is acquiring like or dislike for the subject, a like or dislike for the school, a desire for further study or otherwise. How he chall regard geography, whether as ar interesting study or no; whether to form opinions for himself ang to weigt arguments; whether to be a better citiâ€" zen or no. This depends in a greia: measure on how the teacher treats the measure on n children, and matter.
