TTomes and Gardens" there is a very
’ntere sting Article about modern
ducation. . It is well woyt.b reading
According to the writer of this
article, in schools that have a
adopted some, of the GI technique
in teaching, the established'fund
amental subjects'are not disbanded-.
They are rather made more plj-ve end
pr- ctical for the students, # For
Instance, if-’ a boy realizes that
he must get his mathematics in
order to know how to construct a , j
build.' ..of he will get it and under
stand it. The biggest drawback -I
that we have in instituting this
type of education in our schools,
is the lack of funds. Somehow
we have been very niggardly in
providing for the most important
phase-of the. development of our
nation.> Billions mean nothing in
war, why should millions-be so
hard to get for our school*?
