Editor 4Vest Van News. Dear Sir:-- Iam very glad to have the ~Vest Van News every a eek and appreciate the very real ivork the paper does to- ~ ~ wards the dave)opment of the d ist rict. The article regarding the mak- ing of a good sandy beach pub- )ished on the 12th October re- flects good sense anil good busi- ness. Longview has beautified a swamp and a ivilderness and has not one tenth of the natural beauty )Vest Vancouver has. IVest Van. rightly prides her- se)f and her musical progress, five pound beets and gargantuar tomatoes, but a leaf taken from Longview's business note book would not be amiss. There is not a spot on the washington, Oregon and Cali- fornia coasts to touch West Van- couver but it is a pity that there is nothing material to hold )Vest. Vancouverites at home. Yours very truly. "FORDIER RESIDENT" fenders of the profession by the view they take of their work They never think of using the failures in any assignment of home ivork as indicators of the points which need to be gone over again. They refuse to do any "spoon-feeding," as they call it. regardless of the patent fact that "spoon-feeding," is neces- sary in the great majority of cases till far on in the high school course. Fully ha) f the points i)ea)t with in the school curriculum need to be exp)ained to a class at least twice, anil many of them five or six time(, not by any mere automatic repe- tition of the explanations in the book, but by setting the points in fresh lights. The discovery of these fresh lights is one of the keenest pleasures of the success- ful toacher. An excuse which is coming in- to fashion with teachers belong- ing to the supine minority is that the majority of their pupils are "morons." This ugly ivord has no t)usiness to be heard in connection ivith the pupils in the average class in this country. It is unjustifiable to apply it to all 8)oiv boys. A man ivho has had the chance to keep in touch with «ny large number of his school- fe))oivs till the age of forty will be able to recall cases of clever boys who showeil a fatal want of staying power, anil who sank into mere routineers in real life, while slow boys showered origin- ality an&) poorer when faced with practical problems. That is not of course the rule; but there are enough exceptions to make a prui)ent person hesitate before he calls any s)ow boy a "moron." Yours truly, J. PORTER.

I'riced From ANOTHER SIDE OF Boll E LESSONS Fditor IVest Van Neivs: I have to ask your indulgence and that of your readers while I try to set out an aspect of home work with which I could not i)ca) in your last issue. I Htateil then that it seemed to me that the unwillingness of ~ ~parents to curtail any of their social pleasures during school years ivas the main driving force ))ehind the agitation to get rid of home lessons. But there is another circumstance ivhich stands second to it,--the prac- tice of certain teachers in the province of piling on more home- ivork than they can fairly over- take in next day's recapitulation. There is nothing which sickens a boy of school life so rapidly as a couple of months of home work which he has failed to do, alid ivhich his teacher has failed to re-exp)ain, contenting himself ivith marking the exercise "0" and letting it go at that, or even omitting to mark the exercisi. at all. A few questions thor- oughly re-explained in the light of manifest failure on the part of a large section of the class to solve them, are far more valu- able for even the bright boys than a ivho)e raft of home wcrk which is not understood by half the class, The true teacher takes exactly the same kind of imag- inative interest in the psycho- logical problem of getting the whole of a class to understand a point in the lesson, as the sci- entific inquirer takes in a prob- lem of the universe. In both cases there is the refusal to be thwarted, whether by the s)oiv- ness of the pupils or the com- p)exity of nature. Just as the scientific investigator, baffled at one place, immediately casts a- bout for another possible point of attack, so the true teacher, when one line of illustration fails to get home, is keen to strike out another line. and finds a suffici- ent reward in the uni)erstani)ing interest of his pupils when he succeeils at last. There is a minority section of the teaching profession which, though only a minority, creates great embarrassment for the de- on easy terms. You are assured of conscientious advice, expert service, a squaredeal --all the benefits that come from dealing with a House of the repu-tation of the J. iV.
