Hastings V HIGH SCHOOL TEXTBOOKS FOR SCHOOL YEAR 1928-1929 CHILDREi&'S REASOiiS FOR IVAiNTIittG TO GO TO SCHOOL Educational facilities in IVest Vancouver are per- haps as good as in any dis- trict in Canada. In addition to the excellent facilit i'm af- forded by our up-to-date high school and different public schools staffed by ex- pert and experienced teach- ers, our district has attract- ed many private institu- tions whose curriculum is as good and whose princi- pa4 are as well equipped as any in much larger centres. IVe would draw the special attention of IVest Vancou- ver parents to the differ- ent institutions and teach- ers shown on this page. Some of these are well known to our people, but any and all of them would be glad to give the parents or guardians of prospective pupils detailed information regarding their syllabus and the course of instruc- tion given. For private or public school instruction investi- gate first what IUest Van- couver has to offer. Hilton House School- for boys. Blaisdell School--Kinder- garten to grade 5. Framar hl on tessor i School -- Kindergarten and young children. illrs. F. X. Hodgson- Vocal. bliss illargaret IIclntyre --Violin and piano. i&lrs.

IVhat monuments shall v e raise, v hat medals of honor shall we cast for a girl who can take a group of children in Septem- ber composed mainly of children who "hate" school and carry them through a year without a day of truancy or without a day of absence except for illness? The fact remains as much a mystery as before, unless we ask for the reason why the children come to that teacher happily rather than why they preferred the outdoors and freedom and escape in the previous year. They are all problem pupils; they were sent away by the former teachers as a "good riddance"; they comprise a "special room." The teacher, clearly enough, had to be selected for the special quality of friendliness. That, probably, is explanation enough to reveal the reason for some difI'erence. Still, the children attend reg- ularly for some reason. They would not be present 100 per cent. of the time just to be with a considerate teacher. There is something they love to do more and more and more, which draws them daily, ahead of time, and holds them as late as possible after school is dismissed. This is it--they make things. They do things most of the time through the day. At some time during the day they are allowed to pound, to saw, to sew, to knit, to weave, to write, to read, to paint, to decorate the room, to play games, to sing, to crochet, to do and make a hundred things in the course of a year. AUith it all they gain more general school information than they ever did. There can now be a reason and need for 'arithmetic (counting), figuring, getting costs of materials, etc. There is a new need for (reading) fol- lowing directions for making things. There is a new need for (writing) recording the names of materials which they need to bring, buy or use. There is pur- pose in the performances throughout the day. There is glee in surveying an object made by one's own hand. There is joy in showing the parent what is to be done tomorrow. It is the joy of doing. EVhen ive have sung our prais- es of this teacher for what has been done with these children we have done only half enough. The happiness brought to these children by an understanding, intelligent teacher with a moth- er heart cannot be valued in words or money. These special children have been wonderfully blessed. But we have another 35 per cent. of the school enrollment which still must go through the humdrum, formal routine of the school just because they can do it and will not "run away" from it. AVhat greater ivonders could be done ivith these if they had the same means of expressing their creative desires? IVhy should recalcitrant children be the only ones to have a chance to make and do? The docile, obedient child loves it just as much. Watch him ~vhen he leaves the school. It is football, (Continued on page 7) Grade IX. 1.
