In these articles, written by the su- pervisors and heads of tbe various departmentS the atternpt has been made to give some idea of what is ýbeing done in the public schools of today. It remnains for me, in this closing article, to sumn upthe excel- lent material that bas, been brought before Yeu. It- bas l)een repeatedly said that "the whole cliild. goes to school." The rapid .development *of the scbools 'in, the past décades bas. been an: attempt: to meet tbe demndsthat bave more and- mor- been, thrown upon 'tbe schools. 'W e are .accused of, introducing "fads and frilis" into the schools. As a niatter of fact some of the so.nanîed "fads and frilis" secm to the school ian important thanl the so ilamned, esseni- tials. For example, they seem muc h more important than some of the Arithmetic that 'has .been and, stili is in mari% places a- part of thé school cuirriculumn. Let us sum up then, just w~hat the school is to the child. * In the first place the scbool is the work shop of the child. Moreover, it is a worksfiop in which the producet of bis energy accrues to him indivi- dually% and in proportion to thé ener- gye- erted. In the work shop he nmas- ters the fundamental arts and skills that are necessary. in presenit day ci- vilization. The mastery of these is flot always casy. At times the prob- lerns prove a réal challenge and tbe child inust exert Iîimself to the up- inost ini order to secu re this rnastery. In the second place, the school is a social center for the hild. Here hc learns to live with other people. At t-ines lie is.given.a place of leadership and for a. w hile rnust assume, respon- sil)ility. for an important project oi thle groiup.' At times lie miust folloy; another groül-) leader and *must, suh-, ordinate 'hirnself to the one chosen toi lead. At. ahl times> he'has an oppo tinity tô make bis. contribution ,tci the Nvelfare of the group. He realizesýl like one of old that lie is a citizen ofi no nmean ct"ad the the,1 of the citvý dépends upon 1im it ser-ve rost efficiently the needs of the child. So ini the school the child Iearns to work and play and to take bis place as a member of the social order. In this. day when many of our in- stitutions are being threatened and wveare. wondering if we wiIl be able, to "carry on" we need to adopt as a slogan "The 'schools nmust go, on.". They are the only hope for a better, and brighter day for our children.- j.R. Harper,ý Superintendent of Schools. GET *A META'S HELP!
