Introduced by Commodore Avâ€" ery Jones, Mr. Weeks put on a ssHow of fancy and trick knot ty ing that ha‘d the sailors in stitches. Befor® anâ€"audience of more than 60 members, children and guests who jammed the upper "deck" of the Park Avenue clubhouse, _ Weeks made the seaman‘s familiar overhand knot appear in ways few saltsâ€"unless they were magicians tooâ€"ever tied it before. Long afâ€" ter the. demonstration was ozer, groups of the audience were seen trying to emulate the simple moâ€" tions ‘with which Ed Weeks had made the overhand knot "without letting go of the ends of the rope," as he said. Afterward, gathered around a campfire on the twilit beach, Mrs. Weeks led the singing of familiar favorites with the persuasive notes of her acordion. Announcement of nearlyâ€"comâ€" pleted negotiations with the Highâ€" land Park Park District for reâ€" sumption of the club‘s lease feaâ€" tured a brief business session. Complying with the Park Board‘s request, club officials presented to members a set of house and ground rules designed to assure the proper usage of the beach and other facilities by boatsmen, Disâ€" cussion of plans for improvements followed.

The difficulty is, of course, heightâ€" ened by theâ€"natural propensity of each side to stress what it conâ€" siders favorable points and to ignore or pass over lightly points which do not favor it ends. Eventually we r»â€">ably are going to have to sit down with ourâ€" selves and admit tha more complex and interâ€"locked the various facets of our industrial and politicalâ€"life become, the more controls we are going to haveâ€"and the more controls we have, the more exâ€" pensive government is going to become, the heavier taxes are going to be and the less we are going to like it! * es The price control boys say, "See? We told you so. Under OPA prices were 10, 20, even 40 per cent lower than they are now." They ignore the shortages and black markets that went handâ€"inâ€"hand with OPA. * Labor says, "The cost of living is going up. We must have more money to meet the rising costs of living." The joker in the deck is the fact that sooner or later (probably sooner) the consumer is going to say, ‘Prices are just too high. I‘m not going to buy anything that T don‘t absolutely require." And the cream of the jest is that the consumer is a composite creature, made up of the price control boys, industry and labor. The whole question of government control of industry is a comâ€" plex one. Americans traditionally believe in what they are pleased to call "free enterprise," but each gmupJ, when it fi:;ds ih;ll in a disadvantageous position sets up the cry "There ought to be a law!" The question ot prices is a case very much in point: Price inâ€" creases continue to be recorded. Food, rent, clothing, cars, continue to become more and more expensive. t § Industry says, "Labor is much higher priced than it was. We can‘t pay higher wages without getting more for the product."

Petty, Lake County Superintendent of Schools, and Dr.°E. T. McSwain, Professor in Education and Direcâ€" tor of the Summer Session at Northwestern University, ad dressed the teachers. Both educa~ torg,stressed the need for developâ€" ing.ia Philosophy of Edveation which looks towards the inner deâ€" velopment of the child to meet the requirements of his immediate and future environmen‘. In discussing the goals of eduâ€" cation, Mr. Petty quoted & recent summarization made by an English educator: "The aim of education is to make one fee! at home in the environment in which he lives." In attaining this goal, Mr. Petty urged that the experiences which are provided within the éurriculum for children be carefully selected from life‘s activities. The speaker streesed the need for avoiding duplication, the need for leaving to the home and other agencies those things which can appropriâ€" ately be taught there. Such proâ€" cedure would save much time for effectively teaching the remaining items at school. Interest the Key to Learning "Teachers must learn to know their childrenâ€"must know each child as a person, and regard him as an individual of real import ance. Through such knowledge }h-afin can set the stage so as to arouse intense personal interest on the part of each child. Intense inâ€" terest makes for uine learning, The things we gmber in life are those which grow out of in tense interest." In his opening talk, Dr. Mcâ€" Ewain developed the point‘that the school as a federal and state agency ‘has a legal responsibility toward the children of the state. He stressed the need for carefully studying the new role of education in the Postâ€"War world in order that schools might meet the imâ€" mediate needs of children and the needs of adults some twentyâ€"five years hence, 6 , Mental Adequacy â€" Indicating that Mental Ade quacy is the overall objective of education, the speaker stated that this "adequacy" is developed by the child in the same manner as he develops adequacy in other fields or subjects. In working with children, it is important, be conâ€" tinued, that teachers understand the psychology . of individual growth. Curriculum Must Be Reduced In his plea for more meaningful lcarning, Dr. McSwain urged that more time be allowedâ€"that more concrete materials be used. To do this, the curriculum of necessity must be reduced. * } Lest anyone misinterpret his statement, the speaker made clear that our schools cannot be easy. The activities of the school are imâ€" portant and serious matters and must so be considered by the chilâ€" dren. He made it clear that mental adequacy does not emerge without serious and sustained effort on the part of the child. lnclodnc.tholn-l:rhn-h‘d those responsible for developâ€" ment of a statement of philosophy that a good, wholesome educaâ€" tional philosophy cannot ignore how children learn nor the effect of method on children, The feeling or tone of a child while he learns cannot be ignored.
