The emphasis now la to let a child progress at his own rate a much a possible. The newer educational method for small children is Just the reverse of the older Idea of first learning individual numbers and letters. The stress now 1 to first learn the whole a whole word, for Instance and later the part of the whole, the Individ ual letters that make the word. In number work, the tot. are given small figure, car. houe, and the like, to arrange Into groups. In addition to teaching a familiarity with number, it gives the child something to do with his hands, something tangible and concrete and something to keep hi Interest going. The shift in teaching trends U to the concrete, which a small child understands much more readily than he can grasp an abstract term he cannot see or feel. Rv ROBERT GARRETT TREKA.
