Study of Science

By Ruham

Another year, another Educa- tion Week, but this year there is certainly more wide-spread in- terest and the prospect for basic improvements are bright. Chan- ges there must come and soon. Scholars estimate it took some to turn mankind from a wandering hunter and berry - picker to a tiller of the that it was another 25,000 years before the arrival of the Industrial Re- volution or the .\/lachine Age--- age, the Space Age began only 150 years age---a more rye-wink.-And that research and experimentation began then- - the average man has seen the practical results within a decade

. PREPARATION FOR LIFE , It is no wonder, then that man- kind has had no chance to absorb the sudden and terrific transfor- matons that have taken place and are continuing to tke place on this little planet of his. Scienti- fic achievements, climaxed by the launching of Space Missiles have affected all man’s relation- sh‘p:s----domestic and Internation- al---and if Education is a Prepar- (and what else can it be?) our entire approach to -education--and it’s entire con- tent and organization must be re- considered and adapted to the

new world we’1‘e living in. SCIENCE

At present it is idle to_discuss the merits of Science Teaching If our leaders are to be trusted, our very existence depends on our Scientific ‘Know-how. That doesn’t mean that every child must---- or can become a scientist. But surely it is necessary that every child should be science-conscious

----aware or what is happening and to the limit of his intelligence, aware of the scientific principles and processes involved.

LOWER GRADE TEACHING

A top scientist said that he did- n’t think some people are scient- ific-minded and others, not. He believed that an interest in scie- nce could be created in the lower grades of the elementary school, in allnormal children. Our own observation confirms this. Child- ren can be held spell-bound by the simplest experiments in chem- istry or physic?--and their insati- able curiosity about why and how things work is unquestioned.

There seems no reason why a carefully planned a d strong scientific program cannot be in- troduced into/ the‘ elementary grades. Though all normal child- ren can be interested in science and should be able to take an in- telligent interest in scientific de- velopments, there will be some who show an exceptional ability in this direction. The earlier they are found, the more valuable they can become-----‘Their special training can then continue through high school and college--where of course Science teaching must be stressed.

Does that mean that our scien- tists should be ignorant of liter- ature, philosophy, art, music, history, psychology, their own language, a foreign language? I believe it is-quite possible that such subjects can be made plea- surable leisure - time activities (Thousands -found rest and stimu- lateidn in the “Great Books Cour- ses.) that they can be preferred to many of the “extra - curricular activities" now in vogue.

All of this ass-umes well - train- ed, highly paid teachers ---- --They must come!

Noveltea Held “Y” is An Outstanding Event '

The Boys’ Tea held at the Y. M.C.A Saturday afternoon was one of the most popular events “Men gathering.” had many distinctions and alsoit was grac- ed by many ladies. The latter may have come with a bit of that much talked of feminine curios- ity, but certainly they stayed to

of the season. ‘Tis said: give distinction to a Well Saturday’s tea

praise, admire and eat! “Open your eyes and look”.

This was characteristic advice

given to" his students ' by the late W"lliam Richard Letha-by, archi-

tect and first principal of Lon-

don’s Central School of Arts and Crafts. V It can be said Saturday afternoon

running this show was the fact that one sat at a table. The names of the waiters on the ta- bles was an excellent idea —. names of future governors and city fathers!

Mr. Bruce Hodgins is the men- tor for this now established event and congratulations are being ex- tended to Mr. Hodgins and the young men —— not forgetting the mothers.

Perhaps the_ overall impression was the most beautiful (display of manners I exhibited, by the young hosts. It made most of the guests go home and polish up on theirs after their attendance at the Noveltea. '

“There are none "yet” Mack re- ported quietly, coming. by this morning after attending toxhis first chores at the barns. "‘No lambkins” he explained, “from the four ewes we brought home yesterday from the other farm.”

These are ‘a company not in accord with,their masters’ pla s for later increase and brought to a near “fold” to await their ‘date- less’ events..“Yowies, silly things’ we smiled to ourselvf.

“I always look in on them the first thing” Mack continued “One of \these times” he smiled in happy anticipation “I’ll find one or’ he nodded, “maybe a pair of lambkins there. They’re cute things, aren’t they?” he queried.

Yes -— cute when they nurse, they’re so happy at it. And when they run races in the "fol ’ or in the pasture on a pretty evening when the sun has just gone down and everything about is peaceful and still. Not a sound” we said" softly “but the robins’ bedtime song.” .
