BREEZES FROM VANCOUVER
In my last letter 1 promised to give
some excerpts gleaned from the re -
Cent Educational Surrey of the Pro-
vince of 'British Coltunhia, Ws have
treated them topically.
(A,) The Teacher.
1. What the teacher REALI.I I:S
will be what pupils will remember and
be influenced by long after class -room.
instruction has been forgotten.
2. :Does the teacher seek to dignify
,-comnron toii and agricultural pur-
suits (Canada's chief inlitstr} 1 rather
than stressing sunk of the so-called
refined eccttjratiotts incident to situ»
dern city life?
3. 'gins more at the child's power
of creation than merely at :his ability
to repl•oduce text -book facts,
4. More attention should be given
by teachers to secure physical exer-
cise in the way of organized school
games rather than in (wasting time
and effort in marching the pupils
around the school -room,
5. :In "House Economies." eta, for
too much time is .spent by pupil,
copying down long lists of "notes.'
h. A simple "nod" of the head
saves tnttoh time in lite school -roots.
n7. Before a teacher can really
"teach" a pupil, there Must be moti-
vation or purposive activity on the
pupil's part present.
8. Don't 'lecture pupils; arouse
their thought -encourage pupils to
atsk questions of each other.
9. Teachers should have (a) mas-
tery- of the Principles of Educational
Psychology.. (b) A knowledge of the
Common 'rests and Measurements
(c)' ,[Knowledge of Edncatirtnal Psy-
chology,
10. to teacher owes more than six
hours a day during the school year
to his community.
11. A teacher must know the pu-
pil's'rea.ction to his whole .environ
meat, (at °work, in the playground, in
the : hotite) and know as much as pos-
sible about the child's parents. This
suggests picnics, nature study excur-
sions, camping parties, social gather-
ings, etc:.
12. As real teaching -is most ex-
hausting work, teachers should keep
themselves mentally and physically
(G) History and Geography,
1. We teach these to widen the
pupil' vision, to enable lin to up-
derstand the world and awaken sym-
pathy for his fellow -man: ---also to
teach the pupil who he is, whence lie
came., who is his neighbor, etc.
2"Dictating" and "Aremorizing"
Ing history notes are deprecated,
3. introduce the "socialized recite-
ti',n" wherever possible.
4. The teacher 'should cultivate
the sewer of vivid description,
5. A faller 1 nevvie ige of British
('nlumbra, Canada and the Empire,
should prevail on the part of the
part of pupils.
s. The teacher's chief duty is to
teach the facts of history in an it
partial manner, and encourage the
t:pils to draw fair conclusions from
their judgments of these facts.
7. History (teacithtg) and Geo-
graphy are not closely enough related
to the immediate environment and
actual life of the pupil.
S. The History Test Scores were
t onus( parallel to the. Intelligence:.
11.4 sures: thus, a history test is a
rm. criterion of intelligence than a
�c ,graphy test.
