I SOME PROBLEMS [ IN EDUCATION > > BY RUSSELL DEATON. > Assuming that the child has a i physical, mental, moral and spirit- • ual nature, education should be • made so practical and in such a • way that all these phases shall be > equally encouraged and the same • amount of stress placed upon the development of each. > Very often some Os these phases • of the child’s general nature are ' strengthened at the expense of the ! others. For example, the mental ; and physical natures of the child are developed whil* the moral and spiritual are quite often neglected. I think in order to get proper development education should be so arranged that every nature of tke child would be benefited. It should be brought to the minds of the pupils that not only a great store of mental knowledge is all that is necessary to succeed in this world, and that not only a large and robust body is the only requirement. While these are essential elements of education it should also be pointed out to them by actual illustrations that the development of their moral and spiritual natures are of vital importance. And in order to get the most out of life an education of this kind should be sought for, This theory that each of the natures of a person should be benefited is either overlooked or not thought to be practical bv our colleges and universities, because we see on every hand where the development of the mental and physical natures are encouraged, but nothing is done whatever in the way of directly benefiting the moral and spiritual. We find that certain requirements must be met before one can graduate from a college and the examinations satisfactorily passed, also a certain degree of perfection shall be reached before one can engage in the athletics. But there is no moral or spiritual standard whatever that must be met. So we can plainly see why the moral and spiritual natures are found wanting. In this question of just what the function of the home, the school, church and state shall be in regard to advancing this work of education seems to be of great importance. Pestalozzi says: “A child who knows how to pray, work and think is already half educated.” We would naturally infer from this, then, that the home has a great function in this work of education, and that the child should receivd physical, mental and spiritual instruction in the home. I think the home is the most, important one of these institutions, because it is the one that has first control of the child’s natures, and the home is the institution that makes it possible for the child to come in contact with these other institutions. Pestalozzi also said: “I gave mv children very few explanations; I taught them neither morality nor religion.” This statement seems to contradict his first statement. I think in the home more than any place else, the child should be taught morality and manners and the spiritual natures encouraged, but this is very often neglected in the home. It is a fact that no one notices the neglect of these things more than the public school teacher. Too often the idea of living means just breathing, but Rousseau says: “To live is not to breathe, but to act; it is to make use of our organs, of our senses, of our faculties, of our nature, that makes us sensible of our existence.” He also says that “the first education consists of shielding the heart from vice and the mind from error.” This first education would naturally take

place in the home. The home should have a very important funcI tion in this work of education, because this is the institution that is directly and naturally interested, above all the others, in the general i welfare of the child. We could then ■ safely say that the home is the one i important institution that should i be interested and benefit all the na- ' tures of the child. ’ The function of the church should be or is somewhat like that of the home, although this institution does not benefit the physical and mental natures in many respocts. It teaches and points out to the child what over indulgence and intemperance will do for the physical body, and in the way of study strengthens the mental ability. But the church is the institution that does, or should, at. least, influence the moral and the spiritual natures of the child. It not only teaches the better ways of living to the child, such as honesty and temperance, but tends to better the environment or community in which the child lives. It not only aims to prepare people for the future life, but tries to set forth how only real happiness in this life can be attained. by doing right because it is right. If such is the function of the church, we would naturally come to the conclusion that the church is not doing its duty in this work of education or else it is the institution that does not get a chance to do its duty. The State has a great effect or function to perform in this work of education, as it serves as a protection and is the institution that makes it possible by compulsory means for the schools to exist. It not only provides education and protection for the rich and fortunate, but also for the poor and unfortunate. In the state department are made the laws which every child and man are forced to respect. In rhe state are many public positions which serve as goals for the child to attain. The church is that institution which gives to the boy, and later to the man, that right of self government, and through the ballot that right of helping to wake the laws which he has to obey. Then last but not least, we have the institution known as the school, of which there is often too much expected. The school should be such an institution that would concontribute to all the natures of the child. More especially to the mental and physical. Very often too much is expected of the school and not enough support given from the home. The function of the school is to directly increase the mental nature of the child, and by thus increasing the mental powers of the child the other natures will also be benefited In the work of the school discipline and respectfullness should be emphasized, because without these, teaching would be a failure. Manners and morality should also be noticed, but I don’t think these should be as foreign to the child as a fraction problem. Especially man ners and conduct if the child is not neglected along this line so much in the home the teacher could spend more time on the developement of the mental nature and there would not be so much need of this work on the part of the teacher that should

8 be done in the home. Thus we can ■ I see that the school, home, church, - and state each have a function in s in the proper development of the , child, and where one of these instiI tutions fails to do its duty, the work i is done by the others institutions, or » the child is neglected. [ Does the American boy and girl . take advantage of these opportunities which are set beyond them? 1 Is the same eagerness manifested > today for education that there was i in the boyhood of Lincoln? If so ■ why don’t we produce more men like Lincoln. Do you think proper development means that all the natures of the child should be equally benefited? Which of the natures of the child recievees the greatest neglect; greatest encouragement? The Constitution states that all American citizens shall enjoy religious liberty and worship as they please. Would the teaching of the Bible and the encouragement of the physical nature in the public schools be a disobediance to that clause? Notice, Citizens Os Syracuse. There ie a movement on to put a line of electric lights from the opening of the channel at the Syracuse Lake to the opening of the channel at ihe Wawasee lake. A survey has been made and the approximate cost of the material has been obtained. This would give to home people and our lake people a boat trip that could not be duplicated at any summer resort. We all know what the trouble of travel betwee the two lakes has been, and now that the bridge will be up in the sprint*, let us get togather and complete the channel by putting the lights between the two lakes. AU interestd in the completion of the line, please meet at the office of Warren T. Colwell, this evening, Thursday 25 at 7:30 o’clock. Death Os Edith Parson.
