During the present week public at­ tention throughout Canada is being directed toward education, as the Canadian Teachers’ Federation spon­ sors the fourth Canadian Education Week. In Ontario, the Ontario Tea­ chers’ Council, with the co-operation of the Department of Education, is in charge of the activity. The aim of the campaign is to have public opin­ ion better informed as to the present ideals and objectives of education. Through the medium of the press and radio, educational information is be* ing presented during the week, and it is’hoped that the result will be the arousing of the active interest of cit­ izens in this most important of public services. In connection with the Education Week campaign, attention is called to the following material pertaining to, local elementary education. The social and economic changes of modern times demand that school curricula must be changed and revised constantly, if they are to meet the educational needs of modern youth. To satisfy such a demand, the elem­ entary school has had introduced dur­ ing the present school year, a new programme of studies for Grades I - VI. A summary of the main princh les involved in the construction o the new programme, follows. ^Because the child is, first of all, : growing organism, the school mu.- providp for physical well-being and efficiency. The school day must In passed in a healthful environment ami the day’s exercises should make for natural physical development. Next, if the child is to be at home in our civilization, he must learn to take his place as an active, intelligent member of society^ willing* mid <il)lc to co-operate with his fellows. There­ fore, “the curriculum must provide in­ tellectual activities and experiences necessary for him to take an intelli­ gent part in the life of the commun­ ity. Language and number as the medium of thought and the means of human intercourse, reading to bring him into contact with other minds am! to teach him of the past and fut­ ure of life as well as the present, el­ ementary knowledge of the world as the home of man, appreciation of beauty about him, and the creation of beauty in music, art, and construction work, all determine the general char­ acter of the cruriculum. Interest should be aroused, thor­ ough and honest habits of work cs- and co-operation between pupil, parent, knowledge I and teacher. To provide a means of establishing a more personal link be- J tween home and school, a public vast stores of unre-' school open night is being planned, tablished, activity encouraged, foundations for future should be constructed, in preference to the emphasis formerly laid upon the amassing of lated memorized facts. Above all, the school should co-op- | erate with church and home in the formation of desirable attitudes. The spirit of true religion should perme­ ate all activities, and the daily school life should be built around the con­ stant practice of Christian virtues. Finally, it is impossible to over­ emphasize the value of the closest to take place during the month of May. At this time, the public will be invited to inspect the local school and the displays of pupils’ work which will be exhibited. By this means, it is hoped that the citizens of the town will become more fully acquainted with what is being done in elementary education to fit the child of to-day for the life of to-morrow.
