'3' 4' THE ODYSSEY 4' - Saliutatio URATOBES, praesis facultatis, magistri, parentes, condiscipuli et amici, hodie, nostro die ultimo in hac carisslma schola, vos salutamus. Gaudemus quod nobiscum conveneritls, quando dolentes magnopere corde nostra almae matri vale dicimus. Multa vobis debemus, cari parentes, vestris sacrificiis propter cura- tionem, nobis datam. Et vobis, dignissimi curatores et magistri, summam gratiam habemus propter studium quod nobis monstravistis per nostros quattuor annos in hac schola. Crastina die soli in orbem proficiscemur, nobis ultra vestris magnamimis verbis et factis juvetis ut hactenus per nostras vitas juvavistis. Est maximo cum honore et sincerrima cum gratia quod vos ad nostram consociationem extremam una salutamus. -DOROTHY A. WHITWELL Education in time Machine Age is what the individual feels in his innermost soul that dis- tinguishes one individual from other individuals. In the de- velopment of his attitudes, one should be led into a sympathetic understanding of the great significance of the power of the Creator as this power reveals itself in the life processes of nature. These Words of Dr. Rollo G. Reynolds, principal of Horace Mann School, in a recent address at the convention of the Association for Child- hood Education, seem to fit to a word the modern idea of education. Modern education is affected by two significant trends which imply a very close relationship between schools and the leisure time agencies. One of these trends is that the present day needs of our society have thrust upon the public schools the obligation to prepare youth for wise and beneficial use of leisure, the other, that educators are constantly connecting the educational program more and more closely with real life. In a word, education is employing the method of the game. The day routine of the school room is no longer set up to repress but to stimulate. Supervision aims to create right attitudes toward learn- ing by creating wholesome interest through child cooperation. Instruc- tors are skillfully prepared to discover the causes of lack of interest and to right it. It is their desire to evoke from the child the beautiful natural qualities with which each individual's soul is endowed by the Creator. The modern classroom, like a mirror, reflects the activities, interests and problems of everyday existence. The things fundamentally interesting to a child are its main activities, and the student is thrown into contact with the challenges and methods which are certain to win interest and active wholehearted response in the hearts and minds of youth. The Machine Age has produced an amount of leisure unknown to the past generationg and therefore, the world should be educated to know how to employ this leisure time. The National Education Associa- tion has done much in promoting education for leisure of both children and adults through the seven-fold cardinal objectives: health, home, learn- ing, citizenship, vocations, avocations, and character. 16
