WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1919 ; i 4 Superintendent Explains Winnetka School System to Teachers at Lee County Session ISSUING AN "EXTRA" IN BANO The editor of the Bano Daily News (Africa) does not have to trouble over such matters as circulation or the high cost of paper. When he gets a piece of news, he smooths off some slabs of wood, writes up the story in his best editorial style, and then gives the slabs to his office boy, who runs off with them and hangs them in yf conspicuous places so that he who i runs may read. Superintendent C. W. Washburne last week gave a series of lectures on educational subjects to the teach- ers of Lee County at their annual Institute at Dixon, Illinois. In the first of these he, at the request of the County Superintendent of Schools, outlined his general plans for individualizing the work in the Winnetka Public schools. "The ultimate goal of this work)" he said, "is to permit each child to go forward through the schools at his own. natural rate of progress, un- hampered by slower pupils. and un- hurried by faster ones. volve ultimately the promotion of children at any time during the year when their work is completed. The preparation for this," Mr. Washburne | of the children's faculties of reason- : : © said.

He main- tained that the only real hope of re- taining what is good in this civiliza- tion lay in a new type of education which would replace dead facts in history and geography and useless processes and complications in arith- metic, with direct training for citizen- ship and such teaching as would , make the children grow into man- hood and womanhood with the vivid realization that their welfare depends upon the whole. His fourth lecture was before the high school section of the Institute, and dealt with the problem of hand- dling discipline. "Much of our high school subject matter," he said, "has Reasoning as such does not no other purpose than the training | xist.

We are getting away from that in Winnetka. In place of it we have a perfectly definite statement of the goals; the children are striving to reach--what facts they are to know, and what abilities they are to devel- op. As we get these goals clearly we are going to take the children into our confidence, and let them see clearly what they are_ working to- ward, so that they may work intelli- gently and on their own initiative." In his third talk Mr. Washburne discussed: the danger of the present . civilization failing as utterly as have cult problems.in politics. We should logically choose expert chess players to command armies, for their reason- There is no more widely accepted fallacy than the one of letting mathe- maticians to handle all of our diffi- ren's minds and make them better thinkers in other fields. There is no evidence to support this claim. There is, on the other hand, a great deal of accurate experimental evidence to prove that training is specific, and does not transfer from one field of 'learning to a different one."
