The same hold for audio visual equipment. school libraries. laboratory equipment, etc. If the point of view discussed In this article is correct. then teach- era must, in order to get on with their Job. have the backing of pu- blic opinion.

lleves that teaching is more than telling. Our most skilful teachers know that pupils learn most ef- fectively when the participate ac- lively in the lesson. - that the class is a co-operative group where the teacher and pupil togeth. er. - and I mean together - are thinking through a problem or pur- suing an activity. While this is true of the learning of academic ma- terial it is even more true where the changing of attitudes and feel- ings are involved. If parents and the public are to get new viewpoints regard- ing the aims of education. the kind of discipline to be used. the im- portance of well-trained teachers. the nature'of the curriculum. the kind and quality of administrative devices and school equipment nec- essary for the cbilds' best devel- opment. these can come about only as parents and other citizens are able to work over their feel- ings and ideas in discussion groups note merely by being lectured to by educators. WORK TOGETHER It is because of the above that the writer is a Home and School man. The primary job of a Home and School Association is to be a study and discussion group where teachers. parents. and other citi- zens study and discuss together: 1. What schools are for. 2. What children and adolescents are like. 3. How best to develop youngsters in home. school and community. The above includes discussing the objectives of schools. the n.. ture and extent oi individual dif- ferences. school discipline. the need for well-trained teachers the nature of the curriculum. the ad- nilnlstratlve devices and the school equipment needed to promote the best development of boys and girls. As teachers we have the choice of accepting the inevitable part- nership of parents and the public so iar as educational policies go. and of trying to see that such pol- icies grow out of intelligent study and discussion. or to be the whip- ping bay" of the prejudice. Ignor- ance. and emotional reactions of individuals - often highly placed individuals - in our communities.
