Tac Tear 73005 1933 graduates of the university and post graduates of a single vear in a professional school, In most of these professional schools there is comparatively little work in speci- alized tields. It seems to he the current belief that a teacher of the commercial subjects is best prepared if he is a graduate of a university, with a limited amount of technical training in a private comirercial school and with a background of business experience. Similarly in other vocational schools, teachers are usually chosen because they have been successful apprentices in their respective fields of vvorlc and have had a con- siderable amount of experience. The assumption seems to be that there is no need of professional training if one, in any way, has acquired a knowledge of subject matter and some measure of technique, through experience. In comparatively recent years. numerous progressive schools have sprung up because of a strong reaction from the old, traditional system of education. Among the schools of this type visited were the Montessori School in Rome, the Decroly School in Brussels, the International School and the Rousseau Institute at Geneva, Bedales at Petersfield, England, and a system of seventeen progressive schools, re- cently organized under the supervision of the government, within the school system in Prague. These progressive schools represent extreme types ranging from those that allow almost absolute individual freedom and with little attempt to secure continuity of work to schools which strongly encourage the exercise of individual initiative but which have a very definite and progressive plan and purpose. It is interesting to note that in many of these progressive schools modern Ameri- can methods have been appropriated, sometimes long after they have gone out of general use here, and applied and perfected in such a way as to raise the general level of educational method in the schools in which they are employed. The Dalton plan is in quite general use in progressive schools, and the socialized recitation and the project method of teaching are often found. In the city normal school in Brussels A Normal School Reader written by the Director is used as a basic text. In parallel columns printed in French and in English, American methods and educational movements are described at length and are employed in practice in both the Normal School and the Training School. With the exception of the International School and the Rousseau Institute at Geneva and isolated schools here and there which reflect the individual teacher's attitude, there was no evidence of systematic courses of instruction calculated to promote a better international understanding. A system of the exchange of teachers of the social studies is unlikely to become an important factor in promoting inter- national good will, because of language barriers. This failure to utilize the educational system as a means of promoting peace among the nations was a great disappointment. A student of European schools is likely to return with the fixed impression that in most European countries thoroughness is often achieved at the expense of interest and that indoctrination discourages the development of the power of thought, but he is made aware that in America interest and creative power are too often developed at the expense of real culture and of thoroughness in education. 8
