AGAINST HOOK L'ARNIN'
You would hardly expect a professional educator to con
demn books as a means of education. Yet that very thing is
done by Dr. Charles W. Hunt, head. of a well known American
school for the education of educators.
"Hooks," he complains, "are crammed with second-hand
experience. They are the records of what somebody else
saw, felt or said. We have clung to them year after year
largely out of sheer laziness. It is so much easier to teach
when all you have to do is to compel the children to read
something in a book and then repeat it to you. Hut life all
around us is crammed with educative materials. Within a
few years, I predict, children will go out in excursions into
shops, factories and on the streets to learn nt first hand."
Maybe they will, more or less. Hut it is certainly going
to add to the traffic problem and wony a lot of mothers if
all the children in the public schools are to be poured onto the
street and towed around town by their teachers, to leant
everything by direct observation.
The old Peripatetic school in Greece used to use that meth
od. The instructor talked to his pupils while they trailed
after him in the open air. That doubtless helped to keep them
awake. Hut the teacher kept them pretty well outside of
the congested districts; and anyway, learning was less com
plicated in those days.
Now there are a million things for children to learn.
How can they learn them all at first hand? A long lifetime
would be fiir too short for the education of the child who
tried to learn everything for himself, or for the teacher who
tried to show him everything and explain it on the spot.
Hooks are inadequate, but they are short-cuts to knowl
edge. The bright child, through them, may multiply his
knowledge infinitely, packing into a few years tho condensed
experience of many ages ami millions of lives. It suffices to
take the child out to face ihe real thing occasionally, giving
him something solid to stand on. Then books will open
up to him.
