Σελίδα 69 - Children should be given a chance for self-expression. "Mental stress and strain begin when one's work is not the expression of his desires but conflicts with them." School has so many times meant just this conflict. Unfortunately most pupils find their real interests outside of school.

Fire escapes should not be found upon school buildings designed for the highest degree of safety unless they are planned as inclosed stairways and the pupils are required to use them for regular passage at least once a day....
Σελίδα 38 - The modern study of psychology and mental hygiene has put a tremendous emphasis on the significance of the various forms of motor activity, and especially what we call physical exercise. Its educational, mental, and moral significance is greater than any, except perhaps a few of its most enthusiastic devotees, have imagined. Physical education * * * should give the fundamental basis of psychophysical development from which special forms of motor skill can be healthfully differentiated.
Σελίδα 59 - British committee gives 100 to 93 mm.—3§ to 4 inches.) For beginners lines should not end in the middle of a word. Series of short lines by the side of illustrations should not be used. Margins should be sufficiently wide so that the eye does not swing off the paper, and those next the fold of the book should be wide enough to prevent printing from being hidden by the curvature of the paper. Type should be clean-cut, making lettering with clear and well-defined lines, especially in the upper half,...
Σελίδα 59 - make up" of school texts is important.
