The child’s brain is considered as a filing cabinet, to be furnished with the necessary system of docketing, and the pages filled with facts, fiction and figures. When the process is completed we have a systematized, living encyclopedia, from which can be drawn an unfailing fund of useful information. On this theory the memory is exercised to its fullest capacity and the mental pabulum is imparted in portions proportioned to the pupil’s power of assimilation. Independent thought; doubts of so-called scientific truth; questions tending to lead from the beaten path in civics, history or philosophy; all these are discouraged as a hindrance to the great object in view, which is to store the mind with all the great truths, laws and dogmas already furnished to the world. While this theory must, in some measure, he practiced with the younger children, it is dangerous to carry it very far. We may, before knowing it, so injure an intellect, endowed by Nature to lead into new and higher paths of constructive thought, that it becomes stunted and dwarfed and through our mechanical treatment fails to rise above the common average of humanity. Education means a drawing out, a leading to development of a child’s nature, physical, intellectual, moral. As the coach chooses his athletes for different places according to their physical qualifications; so, in the intellectual realm of education the natural endowments should be sought for, cultivated and encouraged. The abnormal in the child, if properly and judiciously encouraged, may produce the genius. Excresences of thought and character may be the buds of future greatness and should not be destroyed in order to force conformity to our ideas of a balanced education. One of the greatest benefits a teacher can confer is to enable the pupil to find himself; that is, to help him to know for what vocation in life Nature has fitted him. This knowledge, once realized, instantly affects the life, gives definiteness of purpose, fires the imagination, stimulates effort, creates ambition and fills the soul with a confidence and a courage that leads on to success. Our Broken Bow High School is trying to furnish opportunity for this specialized development, and offers four distinct courses of study which open the way to many and varied vocations. Our faculty gives its earnest effort to enable the pupils to choose those courses which will prepare them for the sphere of usefulness for which they are best fitted by natural endowment. It is a sign of better things for the youth of our county that they are now able to choose and specialize early in their school career for their life work. We invite all who can to seize the opportunity and attend our 1920-21 school year. H. LOMAX. Page Eleven
