the outdoors she thought preferable to
cut and dried definitions that have
little gr no meaningto the young
child. She. 'recommended ,the more
frequent use of pictures from mag-
azines, cutouts, imaginary trips, col-
lections and charts, prepared by pupils
in order to arouse the interest and +en
thusiasm of the elass. She had on ex-
hibition a cut-out. Japanese village

Flfiss•Myetle Armstrong was then
called on to present her paper on The
New English I•Iistory.. .Before dis-
cussing the new text she pointed oak
scare of the reasons for the teaching
of, history in junior'fourth,•the grade
in which the nen+ text: is used.. ,
(1) To teach, the debt ive owe to our
forebears for the social, political and
other conditions in which ive, live. (2)
To arouse an: intelligent, patriotig in-
terest in our own country and. empire,
(3) To build up a taste fez history
forlife. the pleasude it will give in. later
She thought the new history an Inv-
provement ou the ,olii,because of its
interesting content,, and simplified,
language,;Pupils want .to.,,read it.
The inereaeed number'' of -inteneeting
pictures, and its conciseness • add to
.its value as e, text. 'Intricate social
conditions, wars . and treaties are
avoided, to be -taught at a later period
when the .minces of the children are
more fully developed. She, then il-
lustrated the use of pieturres 3h the
'teaching of a history lesson on "Tice
Ancient $Pitons!'

She advocated the giving of books to
children, rather than toys, and re-
eonuiiended the Beatrice Potter books
