Al ------ TE Raa a va wv WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1923 DO NOT DRIVE PUPILS-CLERK New Principal at New Trier Announces School "Creed" Changing the school to fit the child, and not the child to fit the school, is the leading idea advocated by Frederick FE. : Clerk, new principal at New Trier Town- ship High school, in a recent article in Colliers' Weekly. Teaching children instead of books, life instead of facts, expression instead of repression or oppression, leading instead of driving, are other items stressed in Mr. Clerk's educational creed. Hundreds of Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka and Glencoe citizens are in- terested in the future of the high school. Frederick E. Clerk Every taxpayer in the township will want to know what features will be em- phasized by the new administration. Al- most every boy and girl under eighteen vears 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 ++ The Rules Teach children instead of books. Teach life instead of facts. Teach thinking instead of mere mem- orizing. : Teach expression instead of repression 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 work--if you drive them, they will hate it. READ THE WANT-ADS Puritan This attractive eye- glass is one of our own design.
