SEPTEMBER 21; 1923 NEAR EAST NEED AGAIN1NCREASED Fredgrick E. Kvcry taxpayer in the township will want to know what features will be en*- phas i zed by the new administration. Al- most every boy and girl under eighteen years of age will be vitally affected by the ideas and methods operating in New Trier High school. Briefly, Mr. Clerk*s ideas are incorpor- ated in the following excerpt from the article in Colliers' Weekly.: ft -*-'- The Rules ' Teactf^hlIiIreft*i*Brtead iyi^iso&kst^f^'rf-^ Teach life instead of facts. Teach thinking instead of mere mem- orizing. TFactrexpresstofrnisteail' of t epTessroTT or oppression. Teach only subjects that have im- mediate interest and value, instead of merely some vague future worth. Teach the habit of grappling indepen- dently with all problems instead of look- ing for some one else's opinion as an answer. Make every problem a challenge to be met, not a worry to be shirked. Remember that you can lead children to love workâ€"if you drive them, tney will hate it. #; READ THE WANT-ADS children in Corfu, three hundred o£ them in an orphanage and industrial training school in the ancient unarmed fortress that suffered from Italian gun fire, according to the latest sta- tistics received at National head- quarters form overseas.
