Symposium -. Education Week Education Week Meeting at Strathmore School

The movement for Adult baa og takes on momentum and, with the co- operation of all men of good-will it will accelerate as the years go by. Education Week is a part of that moveisent, The Strathmore Division- al A. U'. A. ig doing its utmost to bring Education and its problems before you this week hoping to start a con- sciousness of matters educational in this area of the Province. We fancy that ‘here is no public service about which there is so much lack of inform. ation. We shall only get the type of school which can serve a truly demo- cratic culture, when we get a_ thor- oughly enlightened adult citizenry. Below is a symposium on educational matters.

8. H. CROWTHER

eee (CHRISTIAN) EDUCATION

Man is an intellectual and moral be- ing. He is endowed with a mind and heart. It is the inteliect and the will, or the mind and heart that make him what he is, and distinguishes him from the rest of God’s Creatures,

And what is the meaning of Educ tion? To educate means to draw out, to develop and to perfect. Apply this to man, and what does Education mean in his regard? It means, and nothing less, to draw out and develop and perfect him; not one part of him, but the whole man— his will and heart as much as his intellect and mind. If one part of his nature is he- glected in the process, you will not have educated him, you will have pro- duced but a deformed being—- a one sided man,

Education is such an important and vital concern of all parents and teach- ers ,as well as the authorities of Church and State, that in the short space allotted me may | mention a fact well known to all, that the Cath- olic Church during the past 1900 years has carried out the Commission of the Master; “To teach all nations — — whatever I have commanded you.”

Therefore she realizes that Educa- tion igs not an end in itself, but a means to an end, Man, made to the image and likeness of God, must know, love, and serve God in this world to be happy with Him in the next, “What doth it profit a man to gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his Soul.”

To develop and bring out a charac- ter respected and honored by the State and pleasing to Almighty God-— that is Education,

REV. A. E. ROULEAU, P. P.

THE EDUCATOR THE CHIE; FACTOR IN EDUCATION

“| do not care so much what my daughter learns,” said a great Ameri- can essayist and educator, “as trom whom she learns.”

On the surface, this could mean ghat a good teacher would teach only what is good, But deeper lies the tun- damental principle that the teacher always teachers his own attitudes, Linked with this is the fact that for- mul teaching survives the examina- tion period but indirect teaching is what the pupil carries through lite.

REV. V. M, GILBERT, B.A., B.D. eee

The root meaning of the word “educate” is “to draw out” or “to lead out.” The root meaning of the word “instruct’ is ‘to pile up.”

The gasoline in the pump at the gas station on the corner is of little use until it has been transterred into the tank of an automobile Then its ener: gy is translated into useful, directed motion, It ig the translation of poten- tial energy into kinetic energy, So we might describe the ideal in the pro- duction of a cultured man or woman, The civilized world at different stages has emphasized one or other of these two poles in its educational systems, The Middle Ages was a_ period of “piling up”; it was static The Renats- sance was a movement,— a “drawing out into the light;;” it was kinetic. In the nineteenth century the potential and kinetic faced one another,

Today in our own province there are signs that the two are becoming complementary. Thege are good signs. 1 believe that in so far as our boys and girls know how rightly to trans- late static instruction into kinetic, creative knowledge, do they become characters that stamp Truth with a capital ‘T’ op the pages of the world. For it s in the right or wrong trans- lation of potential into kinetic know- ledge that character looms up as God- ly or Godless, Witness the world to- day!

” $0 it is my pores to wish God- speed to all who are involved in suc- cessful pursuance o fthe present, ed- ucational experiment,

REV. GEO. W. LANG, B.A., L.th.

ee0e THE LARGER SCHOOL UNIT

During the past two years there has been considerable discussion among all classes of people in the Province of Alberta as to the merits and deme *- its of the Larger School Unit System,

The man who pays the bills (the Taxpayer) probably has more to say against the Larger Unit than others, but this is only natural as the pocket book is atfected.

‘True enough, the new system has taken away Local Autonomy with re- gard to the Financial part of the old system, but not otherwise. Local School Boards still have considerable power, und rights which they do nut exercise owing to certain prejudices,

Regarding Finances, under the old system, the Local Boards requisition- ed the Municipalities for funds which in a considerable number of cases were inadequate and certain Municipal Councils were indifferent and did not levy a sufficient amount eof taxes to meet the current requisitions, so that meant that someone was left “holding the bag which, in the majority of cases was the ‘Teacher and the Debenture Coupon Holder,

Under the new system the Divisional Board requisitions the Municipalities tor funds and in the majority of cases the Municipal Districts have levied the correct amount of taxes and in certain other cases have added an additional amount to pay off shortages incurred trom under levying in pre- vious years. This situation of course, makes the burden heavier or the ‘lax- payer for teh tirst year or two of the new system. Eventually the ‘laxpay- er will derive the benefit of lower taxation and more services for his money if the Larger Unit continues to tunction,

The first year or two of operations by the Larger Unit calls for more funds from the Pocket Books of the Taxpayers in certain Districts than they previously pad, owing to, the fact that these certain Districts had their Debenture Coupons paid up, Teachers’ salaries and other liabilities all paid up, while other districts are still in debt, owe monies on Debentures, pro- bably new echool buildings were re- cently erected, ‘Teachers’ salaries and acrounts unpaid, and so on, but the basic principle is to provide Educat- ional Facilities for the Children throughout the Province as a whole, Also, owing to lack of Finances in certain Local Districts, a considerable number of Schools were badly in need of Repairs, furnaces and stoves had been neglected, proper equipment for Schools had not been provided, build- ings required painting, and so on. A Larger Unit System takes care of all these problems at a considerable sav- ing, due to their set up, thereby giving the Taxpayer more value for monies expended, A Service provided by some of teh School Divisions is that all classroom suppplies (Other than ext Books) are supplied to the pupils tree of charge. Secondary or High School facilities are available to every ural boy or girl residing in the Division, either by attendance at our own High Schools, Village or Town Schools, and Correspondence Courses, all ‘Tuition fees being paid by the Division, A Dormitory Service is provided for those pupils who, not having a high school in their immediaie vicinity can attend at a “cost for Board” proposi- tion away from home,

Another feature of the larger unit is that the Teacher can be transferred to a School within the Division where their particular training will be used to the best advantage. ‘l'eachers with the greater experience being placed in the Schools with the heaviest enroll- ments and so forth, Teachers can give more efficient service knowing that they have steady employment, that they will receive their salaries monthly and that they w:ll not be sub- jected to petty grievances of Local Boards.

In our own Division, Pupils’ desks, Teachers’ desks, and other equipment are brought i from schools and repaired, renovated and sent back to the Schools like new, at very little cost. We found a consider- able number of pupil’s desks stored away in barns, cellars, attics ,etc., whicn were brought in and renovated and sent out to Schools where the lhouble desk system was in use,

A small but appreciative audience gathered in the local High School to hear the addresses being given on pertinent topirs.

The visitors were first conducted through the various rooms where they could see some of the work of the pupils and in the High School the newly partitioned type-writing room,

Assembling in the Principal's room at 8.10, Mr T. E. Wright, Chairman of the School Board called the meeting to order and briefly explained the pur- pose of the gathering.

This was followed by an address by Mayor T. S. Hughes who expressed his pleasure at being present, and for the privilege of learning more of the present trend of education,

Mayor Hughes stated that business men were frequently so fully occupied in carrying on their special line of work that they perhaps overlooked the changes going on in the School World. He concluded by expressing his thanks for the opportunity given to express his appreciation and_ re- gretted there were not more parents present.

The next address was given by Mr J Crellin on the subjec., Enterprise Education,

Mr Crellin in speaking of the change in the system of teaching, stated that the teacher today is a stronger, wiser, kinder person than he as in the years past.

That in the Enterprise method the tearher must make a psychological ap- proach to the subjectc, and elicit a succession of facts. The enterprise gives an opportunity for a basis of choice and the interest of the children can be easily sustained.

Taking one subject “How man lives in the World” gave a subject that was rich in content, and “leading-on” pro- blems, for instance.

The social significance of one’s en- virosment as related to outside activ- ities held the interest and created a large field for endeavour for the pupils.

The speaker asked — Is the tree ac- tivity considered Play? — and, Is the scope of content in a year sufficient Which questions were both answered in the affirmative,

The next address was given by Mr R. Eyres who discussed the Large Unit, This subject is so fully covered by Mr Erswell in his letter in the m- posium that we will pass over save to say that Mr Eyres stated in England, in New Zealand and insome parts of the United States this system had been found very satisfactory, The speaker stated that one of the Objec- tions to the large unit was the increa- sed cost, but if we are going to ad- vance in any line we must expect the cost to be greater,

The speaker stated that secondary education had now been placed within the reach of every boy and girl by the larger unit. There is more opportunity for co-operation and better adminis- tration and better supervision in now possible,

Mr and Mrs 38. F. Garriott of Strath- more, announce the engagement of their daughter, Ruby Juanita, to Mr Ejnar Petersen, son of Mrs J. Frantz, of Strathmore. The wedding will take place in Calgary during the latter part of November,

COMPETITION IN SCHOOLS IN ALBERTA TODAY IS AS OLD- FASHIONED AS THE HORSE AND BUGGY

Such was the statement of Princi- pal Crowther as he gave a most inter-

esting address, divided into the fol- lowing sub-neadings,

(a)—- Reading.

(b)— The Position of the Teacher

in Society.

(ec) Modern Idea of Competition.

An eminent educationist had = said that many of our high school gradu- ates had not learned how to read when they entered the University. There is a movement on foot that students may be admitted to the Uni- versity provided they possess the abil- ity to read and a willingness tu »ork.

One must of course understand what is implied in this ability to read.

H. G, Wells has said that modern life is a race between education and savagery.

Parents and teachers must very carefully study their children, If in the very early years a child is forced be- yond his natural capability that child may be irreparably injured. If “Fred- die” has not arrived at the maturation age he should be kept at home until such time as he is able to understand the work prescribed. Dr Lane an em

inent authority states that a child's eyesight may te injured for life, by just such wrongful hastening.

The teacher should “sell his school” to the public. The time has arrived when the public should be more in tune with what the gchols are doing.

The schools are certainly one of the greatest services in the community and a fuller co-operation between ‘l'ea- chers and Parents, will result in grea- ter good to the pupil. It is becoming a recognized fact that democracy can be saved through the schools, which necessitate a proper training of the pupil, and through a sympathetic un- dersianding existing between teacher, parent and pupil can this result be best obtaned,

Mr Crowther stressed very forcibly the growing disapproval for any com- pettve marking or grading system.

If teh pupil is doing good work, the teacher knows he is and the parent knows he is— that is all that is neces- sary,

A comparing of marks of pupils frequently results very disad- vantageously,

Competition in the new set up is dead, Asa step further Teachers In- spectors certificates will not this year be graded as good, bad or —.

“Competition in Alberta schools is as old fashioned as the horse and buggy”

Inspector M. McLeod was present and was introduced by Chairman Wright to the gathering.
