Wallace to Address Phi Beta K.ap~ SCHOOL·ASMALL STATE, SAYS ·NOTED EDUCATOR Not a Large Family, Dr. Lord Tells State P. T. A. Gathering; Justice Dominant Following is the substance of a le~ ture delivered by Dr. L. C. Lord, president of Eastern Illinois State Teachers' college, before the thirtieth annual convention of the Illinois ParentTeacher association at Mattoon last week on the subject "Home and School" : School is a little state and not a large family. The basis of good government in a school is justice. The basis of good gov~rnment in a family is affection. In school the dominating thing is justice. In the home the dominating thing is affection. School must primarily recognize conduct. Home must primarily recognize character. It is frequently necessary to chastise a boy of good character because of poQr conduct. On the other hand, the meanest boy in school may rate one hundred percent in school conduct. Behave Best in School Because today finds parents a·way from home more and more, because the school of today is better equipped for keeping children occupied with various kinds of activities, the children of today are better behaved in school than at home. In the early years in referring to conduct we say, "He behaved nicely." A little later we say, "His conduct was good." · Still later we say, "His morals are good." And at 50 we can say, "He was a good man, a righteous man." There is no such thing as righteousness where morals are bad, no morals where conduct is bad, no conduct where behavior is bad. Good behavior must come from early years of training. Teachers and parents should distinguish between inducement and incentive. '"If you will cut the grass, I will gi,·e you an icc cream soda." Inducement. "If you ""ill cut the grass, our yard will look as nice as Mr. Brown's." Incenth·e. Should Provide Incentives Both home and school should give incentives to pride in work well done, to joy of acquiri!lg knowledge. The school today aims to bring the children into possession of the knowledge and skill which the race of man has made in its course of progress through the ages. 1ohn Fiske said, "Every codfish is born with a liberal education." Children have inherited no knowledge of reading and writing. They must be brought into harmony with our present society. Every child should understand the English language, how to speak it correctly and fluently, how to write it clearly and concisely, and how to read it intelligently and joyously. The home and the school must unite in building fine character with trained intellect. The world respects a strong character who says, "Them things is wise, learn them alone," but it admires a fine character who knows how to speak well and to write well. Great stress should be laid on the importance of speaking clearly and reading distinctly. Good reading should be cultivated carefully. Reading is having read something today that will help to read something tomorrow. We must comprehend the meaning of what we read, so as to get some uplift from that meaning. Frank R.
