"The children will be encou .e.ged
to ask questions. 1 want to cecout-
age the natural development of
ideas. For instance, if we are hav-
ing a history lessee and someone
suggests a geographical question
growing naturally -out of the hiq
tery, there is no reason why we
should not drop the history aryl
follow that line of thought Geo=
graphy may lead into mathematics,
and so on. The reason for this is
that the children should realize the
i essential relation of all branches
of' knowledge to 'real life. In the
old-fashioned school each subject
is taught by rote, and the children
-seldom realize that one has any re-
lation to another. e
"For the same reason I have al-
ways taught my children both arith-
metic and geometry by means of
matches or little sticks. Th,ny learn
by laying two- sticks beside two
other sticks- tha.tetwo-andetwesmake
four,, and that simple addition and
multiplication have some reference
te roal things. The geometrical
forms and their relation to realities
can be taught in the same way. Af-
ter they have mastered the princi-
ples in this way the formal learning
comes cagily to them. It is simply.
teaching thlon to express in words
what they already fully understand.
"The religious teaching le my
school will be very, broad. I -believe
in giving each child the essentials
ef religion, and letting the pareets
themselves fill in the details of
meteiter creed they believe in. My
principle assistant will be a clergy-

object to Non -conformist or Roman
