I HOW TO VITALIZE OUR g
COURSE OF STUDY g
The following pr.per was read l>y
Supt. A. L. Humphries of the K?r
shaw graded school. :u ?11 * Tea* hers'
Institute, held here during mir
week:
To vitalize our course of study,
first, we must not cuter to the
selected few. who arc to enter college.
but to all tIk* children of < ur
community; we must prepare the
ninety-seven for actual pnrtieipu
t ion in life jyljgyell as th<- three lor
< dlege. .StSpti/l we must a-range
ur stutiles"$rTh:.t promotion!" sh?ll
I < made nf^^jt.pid jis possible, to
avoid the vdn'tinuous dropping out
^ up 10 mo i??titii
ytar. especially in the eighth an.l
tflnth grades.'./ It has been found
fV.ut tlie majority of these were due
non-promotions, thus becoming
(Acr-aged for his class, and the
studies not being fitted to the needs
of the child. Yes, they get a job
v. hen they leave; driving a cart,
running ttrrands. and the like, but.
what chance of promotion or advancement
do these offer? Have we.
as teachers, done our duty? Not
and why not? Because we have
not offered him work suitable to his
needs and tastes, thus not fulfilling
our purpose of feeding the masses,
instead of the selected few, who
yielded to our idee that what's good
for one is good for all. All children
can be Interested and held in the
school, by some force, and next to
the force of the teacher should be
ranked the course of study. This
must meet the needs of the different
children. Not their tastes ?lone,
mut their needs differ, and must he
satisfied by the work offered.
T.ot us recall the fact that there
must be and is a "purpose" for
teaching every subject in our pr< sent
curriculum," This purpose is;
in every case, a "real" one although
we pursue the different courses with
different purposes. First, the feat
purpose of studying, reading (study
phase.) spelling, geography (political)
and history is the learning of
facts. Second, the real purpose of
studying, arlthemetic, algebra, goo
iin'iry, grammar. sciences, geography
(physical), government and (he like
is for the understanding of truths;
and the development of tnougnt.
i ncse two puipoaos are wen untitled
and amplified in our present
course of studies, as suggested by
list above. Naturally tlio studies
and purposes grade into, or overlap
each other to a greater or less,
extent, however, the last and the
purpose that should be emphasized
most, because it is supplied poorer
than either of the others; and yet
ranked on an equal basis with the
purpose of learning facts and understanding
of truths, is the acquisation
of "skill." The studies that tend
most to develop this purpose, are
oral reading; spoken language;
writing, drawing, music, manual
training, domestic science, and agriculture.
We quote the say'ng,
"Heading maketh a full man," but
dp we require enough reading to
ntakAllim a full man, or zio "we have
enough oral reading to have hid) a
ssilled reader? Next, "Conference
maketh a ready man," and do
havdenough correctly spoken recita-'
tlona to ma kg], Ml no skilled in conversation'
"Writ l?? mnlf/.IK ?? --

culture? Yetr tne prime purpose of

L ELLEN EXPLAINS RED CROSS
SEALS.
Ellen, who Is seven years old and
lives out in Kansas City, came home
from school I he other day with a red.
green and white "subscription card"
I the teacher-hud given her. Iler mother
: had seen something about lted Cross
Seals in the paper, but didn't know
I just what it was all about.
"Oh." saiii the seven-year-old proud

i money to take care of sick folks?sick
folks that haven't g<>t any money to j
: take care of 'emselves. The money
! they Ret from the Santy Clans seals
' poos to run a hospital for those folks. ,
And they pay doctors and nurses to
t teach people how to act well and how '
not to act sick. Teacher told us all
I about it. See, tliis paper tells."
Then Ellen's mother read the folder ;
that small daughter had brought home, j
telling how often tuberculosis can he |
prevented, and when she hud finished j
she signed the card for a liberal num- |
her of seals.

for their duties, be it a newspaper
reporter, a draftsman, a imisfrian,
a farmer or a cook. Do our courois
meet thlR demand? Are our pupils
skilled or are'they full of facts and
truths?
Then the following suggestion is
ottered to make more vital our
course of study. If the ipnciiff ??
of prime importance we want a
course that will require better skilled
teachers. If any teacher can tell
you two and two sire four, then we
wsint one that is capable of putting
this fact to use. If any teacher can
tell sin oak tree from si pine, then
we want one that can tell the different
habits and uses of these trees
as well as knowing them apart, and
so on. When shall we have better
. tenchers? When our work demands
1 them.
Again, to make our course more
vital, we must adopt more real
vocational studies, and make more
vocational our present studies. Why
not learn to write a sales-letter, an
advertisement, and write to a real
business man instead of an Itnaginrpy
person? Just as ?n this, the
other studies may be- taught more
than they are from a vocational
standpoint. We often find a boy
i turning hie attention to the workings
of electricity', 'simply from the
few facts Mined from elementary
physics. Why not offer more sub^cts
thatjMrar directly u?on a man's
We should remember that th-re
