THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO Home Is Responsible The modemn trend in education an aftempt f0 compensafe for mre of the deficiencies of the ome of to-day.t The criticism of the school hasc 'en that it did not fit the pupilsa cmeet life as if is. Thaf crificism1 vas just; but if was a criticismî .at might equally be levelled at1 .e home.1 There should be co-operafiveE efort between the home and the chool. If is the business of the chool f0 insfruct. If is the busi- iss of the home to do what ist ,ssible f0 apply that instruction oactual life. Af the moment the project nethod of education is arousing ceen interest. If has many admnir- ible qualifies, and some dangers. The good qualifies of projecfs ire easily seen. The boy or girl xho makes a reai collection of xeeds, insects, or woods, and is abe f0 name fhem correcfly, is weii on the way fa making prac- cal use of thaf knowledge in leaner farms and gardens, and wiser use of timber. But, (and this is the danger) rojects can become s0 absorbing riat instruction receives minar zonsiderat ion. What is greatiy needed is that there shahl be reform in the aver- ge home. The first and greatest reform is in conversation. At home we talk freely of our in- trests-the "*Tin Lizzie'. the pic- ture show, local gossip. etc. Al these matters have their place but surely fhey need naf occupy the whole time, nor be discussed in language that violafes most of the rules that the school is frying ta tach as ta correct speech. Good speech, goad books, good mîusic and art - these should be apart of home life in so f ar as finances permit. If is ahl a matter f habit. If is quife as easy fo speak correcfiy, ta talk of good books, lafest inventions, worid af- fairs. and the accomplishmenfs of mien and women of character, as iis f0 be on the edge of famiiy riction, gossip, and such other riatters as fao frequentiy occupy our attention. If the home is seeking the best in life and is willing f0 make sac- rifices for thaf best, the schoai can give proper instruction ta pupils wha can make good use of that nstruct ion.1 .When if cornes f0 the matter of projects the home can and shouid be af real assistance. Somewhere in every home there shauld be oom for constructive self -ex- pression. If John L. Baird can invent elevision in an aftic in Soho, Loandon, why-is if nof passible for any home f0 find some spot sacred t0 the business of fînding ouf or making somefhing? True, that corner may became unfidy; but out of if character will grow - perhaps even weaifh. The main point ta remember is that the schoal is nof relieving the home of its respansibility for de- ,oelopment of individuals: The -iatural tendency of the school is :0 standardize life. The home ;hould see thaf individual charac- ter has an apportunity ta grow. Humanity is destroying nature's finest giff when personality is ;uppressed f0 suif same fheory of gavernment or some mechanical demand of industry. Chamber- ain, Lincoln, Shaftsbury saved the world much misery because personal character had received proper attention and had been given proper oppartunity for de- 'e lopment. The home is still responsible for ts children. Trail To Happiness Charles Eagle Plume, an Indian lecturer, tells of an aid Indian wha was enterfained in one of aur .arge cifies. He was taken ta the best night clubs, heard the swing biands and was shown how white men have their fun. He saf fhro' a number of mavies. He was fev- .i-ishly rushed from place ta place and given a faste of modemn life in ail ifs phases. What did the old Indian have ao say about if ail? Just this: "White man must be unhappy- w'ork sa hard for have good fime -No have good time af ail." This old Indian found more satisfaction in wafching the sun go dawn every evening as his ancestors iad done, than in rushing here and there as the white man does. There is much peace and hap- piness in quiet fhings. Moonlighl on rippling wafer. The glowing embers of an open fire. Pinè frees whispering fogether on a hili top. A SONG 0F .10V Haw I wish same sweet singer would sing for me now A sang that is cheerful and bright; A sang that will fill me with giadness and joy, From early morn down ta the night. A sang that is full o! the spirit a! lave, 0f kindness and gentleness, f00; A song thaf has harmany ail fhrough each strain, With neyer a note that is blue.
