As was stated in last week's issue the purpose of this series ofý articles is to help parents iinderst .and the schools of their. children. Perbaps one of the greatest chan- es lies in the changed conception ofo education which has brought. about a different atmnosphere in the class- room. A school bas :cornie. to be a, place in whicb girls and boys work. and play together happiily under the guidance of. a teacher and tlirough their oôwn 'activities 'develop skill.,- forrn habits and attitudes, and gain Meal 1 s( -fo r cvcry menu S ince the days of Merrie England when roast boai andvenuson held sway, the, epicure has had a taste for fine meats.

Ail through the elementary school the classroom is îuuch like a busy' worksbop. Young pupils no longer "get lessons" uat home to <recitei> at schcol. The class periods have corne to be the Iearning periods ; pupils learn tbrough their own activities under the direction of. the teacher. '1eachers are (Continued on Page 52) have standards ot wnat is emçscent work and they are striving to make themselves efficient. Appraisai of a pupils performance is flot lef t to the teacher; pupils appraise their own products with the help.of the teacher. One writer bas explained the mod- erm school as, "a place wbere pupils educate themselves with the help of, a teacher." latai Cooperation Friendly cooperation has Iargel-. replaced, the ôld spiritdof.cotpeétitiol . John Jones, for example, is.flot vain- ly trying to',beat Harry Smith. In- stead,. John. Jones -is. working har<l this week tobeat bis own record oi last week and he,,bas every chance of success. Harry Smith may evei assist John.in mastering the difficul- ties he encounters., Teachers and pupils are*alsô work,- ing in friendly coopération. Perhaps the parents of these pQpils in their scbool days carefully concealed their shortcomings 'and inaccuracies f ront the teacher for fear of being giv en a .Iow mark. Not s~o with the girl ' and boys in your elementary schoo. today. They tell the teacher th,. parts of the work which. tbey find bard so that-she. will help them over- corne the, difficulties. This -different attitude has been- brought about through a change in school practice. In the first'six grades of the Wl mette schooi the pupitsý have had no experience with mar ks o r. rank, iii class as methois- of appraisai of tlieir work. Parents wvho were brought up on marks and rank in class as a schenw of appraisal frequently questilon whether the school can succeed witb- out that bit of rnachinery. Your girls and boys are proof t1hat such ap- praisai can be eliminated witb profit. In a discussion of appraisal of pupil progress, Dr. Morrison of the Uni - versity of Chicago points out some of the evils resulting f rom1 the old metli - od of appraisai by rank ini class.
