Synopsis

Excerpt from Current Educational Activities

These ideals of making the school a place of better prep aration for the common tasks and duties Of life are full Of hopeful meaning. The Old ideal, that exalted knowledge as the one desirable thing, needed to be modified by giving attention to direct training in the healthful care of the body, by instruction calculated to make the pupil self-sup porting and self-respecting, and by the building up of habits that tend toward a proper use Of time and efiort. For these are the things after all that determine success and happiness and even the duration of life itself. No doubt, the swing toward these practical things Of life will be too great and we shall see by and by that they are not the whole of life by any means. For we must not lose sight of the fact that youth is the time when the imagina tion may have plenty of wholesome things to feed upon; it is the period when ideals need to be implanted in the life; and when the emotional life needs stimulation as well as guidance. Very often it proves true that the view Of life gotten in youth is the vision that is seen throughout life.
