MODEL SCHOOL PRAISED
_ Dr, Castro Says Develops Critical Faculty :
5 aubidlins
In a five-minute talk in Chapel Friday
morning, Dr. Castro of the model school
spoke of the ability to concentrate, the
ambition and power of self criticism
which have been observed in the children.
“The personnel”, she said, “is made up
of children as far as possible of some-
what equal mental development who
show possibilities of good progress—but
not of geniuses. The chief test given
tries to determine what the child can do
with a new idea”.
“Though there are no marks there has
been no lack of ambition; instead of the
teachers’ criterion they have their own
standards of self-criticism. The most
noticeable thing is perhaps their power
of self-expression, their large vocabu-
laries”’.
CAMPUS NOTES
Monsieur Beck spoke on the writings of
Rabelais Thursday morning in Chapel.
“Pantagruel”, he said, “embodied Rabe-
lais’ philosophy in the motto, ‘To preserve
an everlasting cheerfulness.’ Rabelais
was a satirist, but a constructive one’”’.

on. Study the magazines you want to

they are rejected find out what is wrong
with them”.
