the sacrifice It is vain to hope hOIlO for lor- bet better fer times Umes unless man himself is bettered Education must b begin with Individual and radiate front Crom him from him to society The destiny of a nation depends on th the education of its youth Fredrick the Great once said Man Ian is what education makes of hint and a 8 na na- What m man makes It ft When I the Hie youth of ot a

Y youth uth Society realizes th the dan erl of f leaving the education of th youth to ao ch chance nce The h r h the state and the family fam tam fly ily are the most Influential of ot of- all powers Each of of these Institutions has lias its own system off of education and to mould the rising youth according to Its own views P Public and private education ed the question of school ot of dom domestic Uc and ins institutional ed education catlon belong to practical The n necessity and possibility limits and aims Ims ways and means belong to theor theoretical Ucal It takes both these to constitute systematic p Education begins In the tIle home There one has an opportunity to I study and understand the Inner life Ule I of the child This is much more easily eastly east easi I easl-I ly tv and satisfactorily accomplished f In the home home than than when the child child grows ys' ys older lder and becomes shy and back backward ard The child as he grows older older older J hides his real self as behind a n mask The Idea of ol religion should I be o obtained from the home circle The parents are the childs child's ideals Ideals' and if it they are are good and pious the child I will get na aa n Impression that will last all his life that of the value value of truth and honesty The family also has tb the r unity unit needed for effective Uon tion The boarding hoarding school Is very different different different dif dif- ferent ferent from the thelam Yet It tries t to take take the place of th the family It lackS lackS- the common parentage and family love The larger numbers make the stud study of the individual l more difficult In boarding hoarding school Ulan than In inthe the fa family Children acquire acq acs ac- ac s q quire lre certain ideas from the family circle circle and when they go to boarding sch school l these different Ideas cause disagreements disagreements dis dis- agreements ments among the pupils Then also the older pupils are constantly leaving and new ones fill the des cies Yet Yet with all their differences the boarding schools are nearest to the ll family and emulate the family ideas The The Th hoarding schools should aim am II to attain correctness and consistency In In their pedagogical arrangements They should care for the physical development dc as well a as the mental There There the instruction should be he adopted to to the pupil and given in such T a wa way as as to create interest Boarding f schools are severely criticised criticised crit crit- d In regard to their pedagogical methods Yet they have a great opportunity op op- to tr try new theories and met methods ds of ol dealing with children In V so some some places boarding hoarding sc schools are arene ne necessary essaf The Tle home is often often of of- ten weak and Insufficient for the thene ne needs ds of or the child While at boarding boarding hoarding board hoard ing school chool chool he filay may have the privilege of better belter

the boarding school Is used merely to make money then it is a question whether It is doing doing do do- ing harm or good Under these conditions conditions conditions con con- the teachers are not the best there is discord nm among ug the faculty the methods of teaching are poor and as as' as a result the pupils lose Ipse inter inter- Inter Inter-I c ea eat In study and In fact in in- all the I of education that are most I Ibe be en aLto mankind Thus proving more detrimental each day It In is in in tD belief that most hoarding schools fall far below th the ideal ide-a But Dut so eo 0 l long g as they are are are- in their are of ot great benefit to the masses of people e. e The lie schools which aim to furnIsh a 11 a substitute for home training ma mabe may maybe be he classified as
