WHY ARE WE HERE?

Approximately 700 st ud ents have entered school here this summer for the pu rpose of furthering- their education. Men a nd wome n are w illing to sacrifice much for an education a nd the y use the term g libly. But how many know exact ly what it means? "The community may not know," says Dr. Alexander Meikle john, a prominent educator, "and, un der the present conditions of American li fe, cann ot know at all clear ly what education is; but, whatever it is, it wants it and is willing and ab le to pay for it."

Apparent ly, in educat ion, afte r thousands of years we still need to learn not on ly the route, but even the objecti ve itself. While in college we s hould know just what we are here for. Dr. Meiklejohn sets up something at whic h to aim whe n he says that the world into which young Americans are no w entering w ill dema nd of them something more important than the technical skill t he y so eas il y acquire It w ill demand cu ltivation of the powers of the mind; breadt h and depth of acquaintance with av ai lab le knowledge of the world; shrewdness of j udgment and sensitiveness of apprec iat io n of the valu es and meanings th at human living is intended to s er v e; sympat hetic understanding of other men, whate v er their race or creed or social status. Our students must begin to know the whole world and all other men as they know themselves. We know of no better way of preparing for these de mands than t hr ough active participation irt those acti vit ies we common ly term extra-c u rric ular. You, as Peru stude nt s, are in a position to do this. The activities on the Peru camp us are so numerous a nd varied as to make it possible for every student to have a part in them. Give yourse lf the benefit of this opportunity and add it to yo ur store of classroom and textbook facts

"IS THIS YOUR SON, MY LORD ?"

Wor ld progress is measured by th e accomplishments of men; it is not m eas u re d by the estimated ability of men to acco mplish. Progress is determi ned not by what men know or what men m ay be capable of know ing, but by th e u se men ma ke of what they kn ow The Age of Pericles is remembered not because the men of that age had the ability to do, but because they did do. Napo leo n is rememb ered hot so much for hi s Eu c lid min.d as for the fruits of that mind. "Some mut e inglorious Mi lton" n eve r cast the mo lds for religious thought; " so me Cromwe ll , gu ilt less of his country's blood" never paved t he way for parliamentary governm e nt. Unused brains, whatever may be their estimated qu a lity, count fo r little. Had Jim Hill, the gr ea t emp ir:e builder, ch ewed hi s ·leadpe ncil and only dr eamed his "Northern Pacific" he would not have ope ned up the mighty empire of the Northwest. The man with an ounce of brain s put to a legitim ate u se is of far more value to society than is Lo rd Strutabout who has a qu ar t of brains us ing them on ly to hi g h-h at the vulgar ian w ho uses his ounce.

Not by the quality of their minds, but by the frui t of their mind s, will men be remembered; according to their accomplishment they should be rewarded. Pleasur e is th e r eward sought for work. Re war d, somewhere, at sometime, to some being or beings, is an unexpugna·ble element of w.ork. To depriv e the earne r of his jus tly earned r eward is to smother hi s ambition and mak e of him a malcontent. And t he reward -for wo rk we ll done is a ll th e more merited if the laborer h as been handicapped by a poor implement, that is, an o un ce brain

WATCHMAN, WHAT OF THE NIGHT?

"Amid thy bowers the ty ran t's hand is seen." Thru the inabilit y of the fa rm er to get reli ef h is lan ds are fallin g int o th e ha nds of the capitalist, and thru th e inability of th e middleman to compete with the chain-group his property is be in g absorbed, reducing th e fa rm er and the middleman to a state of vassalage. History repeat s itself. Is our ship of state headed for the same shoals on which the glory of ancient Rome was wrecked?

"Ill f ares the land to h as t eni ng ills a prey, Wh ere wealth accumulates, and men d ecay ."

· WHAT ARE WE BUILDING?

"The teaching people h ave th e present a nd future of hum a nit y in their ha nds if th ey only grasp it," says Dr. Starbuck. He warns us, however, th at if we are to make the mo st of this opportunity we must a bolish the imperialistic Europe an method s which h ave entrenched themselves in our schools.

Per h aps this latter condition has been p er mitted to creep in because to o many educators hav e been pleased with technical p erfec tion in sc ho ol work, though a ll the ' so ul be out of it. In so doin g, they fail to g iv e to th e student the full sense of aw ake nin g and at tainment of life. T each ers must keep in mind that th ey are building men and women ra ther than m ac hine s; that ch aracte r is s uperior to eff icienc y.

Dr. E. D. Starbuck of the University of Iowa is call ed one of the greates t cha racter educa tor s in th e United States If his lect ures at Peru are to be regarded as a criterion it is easily under s tood how he gain ed this enviable reputat ion.

THE PERU PEDAGOG IA N

"HAIL HOLY LIGHT"

"Wh ere is this a lchemic thing wh ich psyc hologists want to weigh and evalu ate with scie n ti fi c instrumen ts?

Our prob lem is qu ite another on e: To make talen ted individauls out of u ntalen t ed ones

Th e opposite schoo l of th ought has always suffe red shipwr eck. Wh er eve r one h as tried to foster th e socalled ta len ted ind ivida uls, one h as come to no goo d end Th e for talen te d, p sychologically t este d ' ove raverag? ' pup il s hi de their h eads in sh ame because of their poor res ult s. Wh at of classes for talen ted and untalented children? I have always fo un d, partic ul arly in Vienna, th at the classes fo r talen ted ch ildren co nsisted most ly of relatively we ll-n ouri sh ed individauls from the better classes, wh ereas in the unta lented classes th e poor ly dressed ch ildre n were to be found. Bin et, the fath er of psychological tests, made the same discove ry. In the very beginning of h is researches he called atte ntion to the remarkab le fact that here was a constant relation between talent and body-weight. We shou ld not be surprised at this co n stant relation sh ip. But it is n ot a cause and effect re.lationship at all.

Th e eleme n ts which th e In dividaul P sycholo gists have fo un d most n ecessary to the deve lop ment of a child into usefu l social bein g are a good relation w ith the res t of h umanity and the f ee lin g that he is equal to oth er childr e n. Trai n ing toward the social fee ling should be begun in the earliest years, and co n tin u ed t hrough life Cou rage and the consciousness of power and equali ty should be fostered wherever possible. If this is done, we find an indi vi dual always on the useful side of life , showing th e personality of a worthwhil e, courageo u s, sociall y-minded man or woman

Rob this ch il d of his co urag·e and the fee li ng of h is equal chance, and yo u thwart hi s deve lopment. The bogey talent is one of the most effective means of p utting· bounds to the :Ievelopment of a ch ild. If you te ll a child off h and he is un talen te d, and he then proves unt a len ted, this does no t prove that yo u are right. You 'fixed' him! And yo u mu st n ot wonde r at yo ur ev il results. A similar damage can be done to th e so-called 'talented' individ ual. By constantly giving him tests of his prowess , us ually u seless on es, one runs the r isk of serious damge to his self-confidence and self-es t eem At any rate, a patho logical ambition is bound to deve lop and the ch ances are that this talented indiv idu al will so011 have to hide behind a smoke-screen of "nervousness" to defend himself fr om u seless tests of p owers.

The courage wh ich is the basis of ta lent mu st he combined wit h an ad eq u ate training. Mnny seemingly un talented indhr iduals ar e simp ly poorly trained. Their sligh test act ions bear th e in hibitio ns of th is ina de quate t echnic. We kn ow th at th ere are in divi dauls who walk badly, who h ave no talent fo r speakin g, and of co urse ot h ers who seem to h ave no talent for study in g·, or r easo nin g, or t hi nking, or readin g books It is si mply a que stio n of fi ndin g the right t echnic.

Let us refer to the biography of Cha rl emagne a nd read the am u sing wor ds of his biographer: 'Although Charlemagne tr ied with might and ma in to learn to write and read, he never ac comp li sh ed th ese th in gs because he obviously had no talen t f or th em .' But sin ce the day of Pestalozzi, it is no longer necessary to h ave talen t to read and write- every chi ld can do it!

Growing in sight into technic and traini ng will doubtless open up new fie lds for the former ly 'untale nted, ' and I prophesy th at in n ot many years the de lusion of 'talent' w ill vani sh into the li mbo of witc h craft, th e ev il eye, and the cast in g of spe lls."

EDITORIAL

The ancient Chinese, in order to provide court fools used to place children in grotesque shaped casts, obliging them to stay there until their physical organism conformed to the shape of the cast. There is a modern educational movement that has for an objective the classification of men's ability The promoters of this movement would lop off an individual here, and stretch him out there in order to make him fit a preconceived notion as to the category into wh ich his native ability belonged. The institution of such a system means that some modern educators, s ub stit uting the menta l test for the cast, would do to the minds of modern youth, supposedly for the purpose of best fitting youths for their life work, what the ancient Chinese did to the bodies of those whom they would prepare to make court jesters.

To classify minds by the pigeon-hole system is a means of avoiding the analysis of individual minds, and a means of excusing any sense of responsibility for searching out stimuli to which dormant sense may be made to respond.

Every man is a law unto himself; his development: physical, and mental is individual. No two indi viduals r espond to the same stimuli exactly a like.

There are no two things in the created un iverse exact ly alike. The finite mind, un able to grasp this infinite var iety has for its convenience classified nature in all of its manifestations. The botanist, ·the biologist, and the a nthropologist all recognize that nature accepts no limitations. Evolution, orderly growth, depends for its adva ncement on this constant shifting. It depends for its advance ment upo n the destroying without mercy of that w hich does not respond to the exactions of its environment. Nature preser ve s with insistent determination that '"'hich does respond to its environment. The s light changes so carefu lly horded by nature, are so infinite in the ir variety that the finite mind for convenience has classified the plant wo rld and th e animal kingdom into those forms which approximate one another, always admitting that in this wor ld there are no two things alike. If this be true in nature it is emphasized in that highest form of creation- man.

The classification of plants and anima ls is harmful neither to the plants nor to the animals. The classification of man's ability according to anyone's preconceived notion of what it is is harmful to man. To label a man as one would label a can of tomatoes is to create in him an undesirable complex. To tell a child he is smart inv ites a manifestation of capers and incites a conte mpt for his lesS' favored brothers and sisters. To tell a child he is dumb is to intimidate him, making him t hink he is ob li ged to take all the bumps some smart aleck is always ready to apply. "Men are on ly children grown tall."

A man's reputation has much to do with his success or failure. To brand a man unfavorably justly or unjust ly, is likely to kill his initiative and his natural developm ent due to the disregard in which he is he ld by , his fe ll ows.

Th e Pedagogian calls attention to the section on the Peru De monstration hig·h schoo l found on the · back p age of this edition The purpose of this section is to high schoo l students and parents with the opportumties offered to secondary sch oo l students here.
