Now we notice immediately that no mention was made of teaching all of the animal something about the gathering of food or ways of protecting themselves from their enemies. Today we hope that we have learned that the rabbit is not seriously handicapped by not being able to swim well and that it is no tragedy in the life of a duck because he doesn't excel in running. Neither can we be convinced that the abnormal eel was superior to the other animals simply because he succeeded in some places where others failed. It is just as foolish to try to force all children into a common mold. Some things all children must learn and in some other ways each child must be allowed to develop according to his own aptitudes. Some of the things we consider necessary in the teaching of academic skills are these: In reading, each child must be allowed to read on his own level and in groups with of similar ability. Tliih assures us that he will be neither overshadowed by more capable classmates or slowed down by less capable ones. Each child for must have opportunity learning reading skills and be guided toward a balanced diet in reading. Arithmetic teaching must be made meaningful by use of concrete objects. must be made for individual capabilities, for checking fundamental weaknesses on an individual basis. Problem solving should be made as simple and practical as possible and every child should be allowed to work against his own record for improvement. In the language arts, teachers should encourage correct use of language in talking, reading, writing, and listening. Through use of correct language study children should develop poise and confidence in expressing themselves. In all these things teachers should insist on high standards in the work the children chil-die- Layton Pgt. Mervin B. Cody has been elected president of the Orgwn Guild which consists of members from Layton, Clearfield and Kaysville who have a common interest in the music of the electronic organ. Assisting President Cody are Frank Hunt, vice president; Mrs. Wayne Stevens, secretary; Mis. Joseph Leigh, treasurer; Howard E. McGregor, entertainment chairman; Mrs. Merrill Shomaker, musical director; Donald Way, committeeman; and F. O. White, alternate committeeman. According to J. II. Mathews, Layton member of the guild, a survey was made and it waa decided that the interest warranted organization of a guild similar to organizations now existing in the larger cities. It is felt that much is to be gained by the association, i.e. obtaining the viewpoints of both the amateur and professional or- n Fio-visio- do. Teachers also owe it to their children to be informed about the late educational developments and to constantly evaluate their own teaching. A good animal teacher in TDD9 would insist that the duck excel in swimming and also, would help him accept the physical limitations that prevent his making an A in running.

Miss had often talked with Wendys mother, and they were working together to help the child to listen as well as to contribute, and to find her place in her group. Respecting her contributions by the Roe she worked with them, but ignoring her completely during her spasms of rebellion, had begun to bring results. As the year progressed, Wendy gradually learned that she could not force people to listen to her, and in her way she began to adjust slowly. How the Parent Can Help A Chinese philosopher once said that parents who are afraid to put their foot down usually have children who step on toes. Parents set the standards of conduct that their children carry over into the schools. I know of an Instance in which a teacher was making a survey on One delinquency. Saturday night she called a number of parents to see if they knew where their children were. The the results were disappointing first six telephone calls she made were answered by chil when dren who did not know where their parents were. Teachers have a right to expect parents to teach acceptable standards of conduct and to set acceptable examples for their children. Similarly, parents have a right to expect the school to uphold and not undo the moral lessons taught at home. I believe that Personally, is the goal to is the strive for. result of guided practice and good examples. Teachers, administrators, and parents must set good examples. And they must not allow situations to exist which give youngsters the idea that hud conduct pays. What happens to boys who tell lies the Sunday School teacher asked. They get Into the show for half price," the boy replied. The same kind of Impression may be created when the class troublemaker Is permitted to drop a tough course and substitute an easy one, because that looks like a reward for misconduct. I believe that discipline and teaching the fundamental subjects but must do so in such a manner aa to produce the kind of citizens needed in a free society. Democracy cannot survive without individuals who can sacrifice immediate interests to remote ends, who can sacrifice personal interests to the welfare of the group, who continued on galley 2 continued from galley one can exercise self control to such an extent that social control becomes increasingly unnecessary. Children cannot develop the discipline for freedom by being held under the complete domination of the teacher day after day and month after can it be month ; achieved by taking the lid off and allowing children to do as they please. It can be achieved only by living in the classroom from day to day in accordance with the ways of democracy under the guidance of a teacher who understands how human behavior develops and who in his daily activities both in school and in the community, practices the discipline of a free man. Here is a case history of a little girl who a teacher helped on the road to Wendy threw herself on the floor during the sharing periThe other od. watched spellbound from their chairs as she screamed and kicked. Presently Wendy noticed that the teacher and class were moving to another part of the room to observe their fisn. She lay whimpering and scuffling her feet, but no one paid any attention. She tried scieam-ir- g again, but the teacher, speaking softly, kept the others to some degree interested in pictures of fish. The children's glances toward Wendy but showed their uneasiness, the calmness of the teacher reassured them. At last Wendy gave up. She crept to the nearest chair, and after a few more minutes of pouting, sidled over to the group to listen as the teacher linished a story. has created such Wendy scenes before in the classroom.

Too many people talk about building character. They want it built at once; they are too impatient to wait for it to It can't b built. It must grow. In th atmosphere of freedom, cultivated by practice, fed by example, watered by desire, and warmed by tha sunshine of recognition, character grows.
