Books on child study are apt to stress the instinctive basis of a child's nature. This is as it should be. We must know of the influences that go to make mind, family, race, sex, maturity. But we must not forget that these factors come into contact with another, environment. Heredity determines the ability to assimilate knowledge, environment furnishes the material of which the particular bits of knowledge which a child possesses is made. We need then a study of the contents of children's minds, and while the investigations which' have been made along that line are valuable and suggestive, they cannot take the place of a real first-hand study of the child's environment. I am rather of the opinion that we should make time if, instead of starting to cram knowledge into the child as soon as he starts to school, we should spend much time exploring the recesses of his mind to find out what he already has stored away in it. That would save us from teaching what, as Dodd says, he always knowed, as well as from teaching something which the child is utterly unable to grasp because of a lack of experiences, or which he grasps incorrectly because of faulty bases of knowledge.
For some time we have been giving lip service to the doctrine that the teacher should teach children that subject-matter is a means to an end. I believe that it is largely lip service only because in the training of teachers we still place the great emphasis of time, effort and teachers on subject-matter with very little time given to, the study of the child. I believe it, further, because teachers in schools spend much time teaching subject - matter and little time studying their children. Teachers must always keep in mind that it is the child that is important; the child gives us our work to do. When we have our schools constructed upona scientific basis I believe that we shall be able to know children as well as it is possible to know subject-matter, and when that is true we shall be able to accomplish many fold what we are now accomplishing. So much of our teaching is now a hit or miss aflair. So much of our subject really doesn't make any difference anyway. We're getting better, but we've a long way to go.
