CHATS ON EDUCATION
At the Principal's Desk.
There is an old saying that practice
makes perfect. 'Ano'ther.' sage has
added the rider thatbadpractice
makes perfectly bad.
Te'ac'hers have long recognized this
truth in connection with the acquire-
ment of useable knowledge, such es
the alphabet and the multiplication
table. Every one knows that much
practice, anuoh repetition is necessary,.
In recent years the truth has begun
to dawn' upon educationalists gener-
ally
enesally that the same truth applies to the
development of emotional and mortal
qualities as well.
The moral qualities are emotional
qualities, •and eke who would as educa-
tionalists'or as parents develop char-
acter, must consider the practice we
are giving, the feelings of our :pupils.
Too often the emotionalP ractice has
been the opposite from that which
was intended.
I knew an earnest
'Christian father
who was naturally anxious that his
boys .should grow up to be church: -
goers.
Unconsciously. by his own con-
scientious church attendance, and by
his genuine interest in the'cherah ser-
vices and sermons, he did inspire them
with some church interest.
i13ut consciously he attempted' to
teach them to go to church .by com-
pelling them to go to church. Each
time one of those boys was compelled
-to go to church against his will he
was practising, not churchgoing, not
real obedience, but resentment against
paternal authority and against the
church itself.,
One of otiose boys declared in later
life that the first time he was away
from hone he decided to remain away
from church until he recovered from
the resentment' developed from these
many experiences of compulsion. He
was unable to enjoy a church service
until .he had remained . away long
enough to overcome the feeling that -
he was compelled to go. In his case
a few weeks were sufficient, but in the
case of other boys I. have known the
result of early compulsion hasbeen to
make them total abstainers from
church going for' life.
The important thing in the practice
that perfects character is not the out-
ward action but the inward •feeling.
'Order' and quiet may be maintained
in the classroom or in the home by
methods of severity. If so, the feel-
ings practiced day by day feelings of
fear .auger, resentment against estab-
lishid-authority. Such practice does
not build a law abiding character.
For two centuries order and Obed-
ience t0 authority was maintained in
France through severity and fear.
Then came the Terror, For two cen-
turies order woo maintained in Rus-
sia in 'the same way. Then came Bol-
shevism. And the end is not yet, for
the hatreds developed through two
centuries of practice are, not unlearned
in two decades.
An experienced• school inspector has
observed that extreme quiet in a class-
room when • the inspector comes in
may not at all indicate that the teach-
er is a good class manager. It may
Merely mean that a troublesome pupil
has just been 'settled' and the class
terrorized.
The highest achievement iii disci-
pline in school, at home or in business
is that which is based upon confidence,
respect and good -will towards those
in authority and other co-workers.
The practice of good -will and respect
builds character,
