A comparison ot the modern vvith the Colonial methods ot education brings a realization ot the opportunities oi today. A change in tne psychology of teaching has steadily diminisned the use ot the Grammar Master's Birch, a symbol oi unkind power, the companion and guide nas replaced the former drillmaster, treedom anc. responsi- bility have supplanted repression, nostility, and tear, and variety has superseced monotony. The restricted curriculum of the three E's has gradually been enlarged so that now Eoreign Languages, Science, Drama, lour- nalism, Creative Writing, Public Speaking, Music, Home Economics, Business Educa- tion, Manual Arts, Vocations, and Physical Education Courses are included. ln this book pictures and Words combine to dramatize tor the students ot Proviso the achievements of an earlier day, the admir- able school tacilities which they novv enjoy, and the potentialities ot the future. lt is hoped that the reading ot this volume may incite a greater appreciation ot the struggle ot the past, the attainment ot the present, and the challenge ot the tuture.
