This, too, is as it should he. If the curriculum is properly drawn it should so fit the capacities and interests of children that they will find in the experiences and activities of the classroom a good and sufficient motive for "learning, ' without the unwholesome pressure of | a "promotion" examination. The "teacher will test his children at fre- quent intervals to determine whether "they are acquiring' the necessary "skills, and on the evidence of such "tests modify, if necgssary, his teaching "or plan remedial training for certain individual childrens But anything in the nature of a final examination to spiritual growth of children is not only unnecessary but is prejudicial to such growth, The abandonment of external exam- inations as the sole basis of "promo- tion" will make it unnecessary to de- vote the month of June to tedious drill on factual material, In June as in September the children should be en- Jjoying new experiences and engaging in new activities instead of merely re- viewing old "facts" for the sole pur- pose 'of reproducing them on an ex- amination. Information that is inter- esting and useful is retained in virtue of its having been "crammed" for an examination--a fact of which we are all witnesses, = What is necessary, then, if we wish children to retain cer- tain "facts" is not to require that they be memorized for an examination, but to clothe those facts with interest and provide opportunities for their use-- this, we think, teachers can and will do if given the necessary freedom. 'The flexibility of the curriculum abandonment of uniform examinations in the elementary grades will oblige teachers to give serious consideration to the problem of appraising the re- sults of their efforts to develop in their pupils "useful abilities and. desirable attitudes." The problem-is, of course, an individual one and the teacher's appraisal must in many particulars be based on facts specific. to his situation. factors that may enter into any such appraisal. First of all, the teacher should be sure that his pupils are living in clean, cheerful surroundings, are cultivating desirable health habits as evidenced in-their clean, alert, hap- py appearance, and are developing proper attitudes toward health as shown by their interest in all the activities relating to_ personal and community health. Secondly, the teacher should satisfy himself that his pupils are acquiring the necessary skills. Do they read ordinary prose and poetry at sight with ease and com- prehension? Can they read orally, a play so that their auditors grasp the author's ideas and emotions? Do they express their own thoughts easily and accurately in speaking and in writing? Is their hand-writing neat and legible and.done with fair speed? Have they reasonable facility in the use of num- 'bers for ordinary purposes? Do they sing with good tone and evident en- terest To Parents be concerned with the attitude his pupils are developing in their work ana play. ested in the reading they are doing, and in the activities connected with the social studies and natural science? Are they thus acquiring interest in an ever widening world and in the fuller understanding of it? - Does this inter- est manfiest itself in independent reading, in voluntary language exer- cises, in various forms of art and handwork, and in worthwhile enter- prises? In such enterprises are they learning co-operation, courtesy, thor- oughness, singleness of purpose, self- control-and *the joy of the working?" 'the following paragraphs from Cir- apply with new force and significance to schools using the cirriculum herein presented. "The Minister urges the Inspectors to discourage, even more than they quirements in the matter of homework for pupils in the elementary school These children are at a period when vital energies are largely consumed in physical development, and consequent- ly they must have time for rest and recreation, The school has no excuse for infringing upon the right of the children to sufficient' time for sleep and play, and the right of the home to direct their activities outside of school hours. There can be no doubt that both of these rights are seriously en- croached upon by the prescription of homework, ill-chosen in character and excessive in quantity. For pupils in Grades I to VI there is ample time during the school day to cover the course satisfactorily without burden- ing them with additional school work to be done at home." ) ' "Supervised work in the classroom may well be substituted for many of the exercises that pupils are at present required to do at home, "In order that the pupils may have adequate oppor- 'tunity for seat-work, including in- dependent study, the revised Regula- tions require that the teacher's time- table shall be so arranged that each child may have at least one 'and a half hours each day for this purpose, One of the charges frequently brought against the elementary school is- that the pupil is not trained to study in- dependently or to work out things for himself. The ungraded rural school, and the school with at least two grades in a classroom should not be open to this charge, for in such schools, be- cause of the nature of the organiza- tion, opportunity must be given to classes to study by themselves. If such study periods are porperly direct- ed, there should be no question of the pupil's developing habits of indepen- dent study. It is in the case of graded schools in which there is only one class in a room that difficulty in this connection is likely to occur. . Here the teacher often considers it his duty to teach his class continuously throughout the school day. Such a practice gives little opportunity to -develop initiative, independence, or self-reliance. This deficiency may- be removed either by organizing the school in such a way that each class- room will have two-different grades-- a plan that is favoured by many In- spectors--or by dividing the class into two sections for certain of the school subjects. While one section is being taught, the other section may be en- gaged in seat exercises or study. There alternation of teaching lessons and joyment? Are they gaining in power art?
