SHOULD KEEEP CHILD AT HIGHEST LEVEL OF HIS ACHIEVEMENT Nature of Individual Should be Recognized in Education Says Dean Seashore PROPHESIES SOCIALIZATION Warns Teachers Not To Give Place to Doctrine That Children Are All Alike "Keep the child busy at his highest level of achievement and he will be happy, useful and good," declared Dean Carl E. Seashore ina talk on "The Individual and the School" at the third weekly assembly yesterday morning. The first principle of educational psycholgoy is to recognize the nature of the individual, he said. The greatest differences, such as differences in temperament, sensitiveness, moral nature and easthetic nature. There is already a child who can learn English or arithmetic, or any subject five times faster than some other child; but a child who is five times as tall as some otehr child is a rarity. Dull Child Discussed Teachers and superintendents were warned by Dean Seashore not to give a palce to the doctrine that children are all alike. This doctrine, he said, is psychologically wrong and morally wrong. The dull child should be kept at the highest levela t which he can achieve, but no attempt should be made to force him to a higher level. The only way to help him is to keep him always at his highest level of achievement. Puts Personal Questions Socialization of the individual in teh school was the prophesy of Dean Seashore, as the outcome of the present trend of the transformation of education. The socialization will be vastly different from the autocracy of the well-machinized school, and will take account of the individual nature of the child. Several personal questions were put to the teachers for each to take an inventory of his own attitude towards the child. Among these were, Do I realize the magnitude and significance of individual differneces in my pupils? Do I actually in practice give my pupils an opportunity to grow, each according to his talents? Do I keep the pupils always at their highest level of achievement? Do I justly praise or blame the pupil? Do I rightly idenity the retarded child? Am I kind to the dull child? and Do I give each individual as a whole an opportunity to develop? LAUNCH TRIP JULY 4 The Endeavor society of the Congregetional church will conduct a launch trip to Coralville on the evening of July 4. All summer session students who care to go are invited. The party will leave the boat house at the foot of Market street at 7:30. The fare is twenty-five cents. DEMONSTRATE PITCH RANGE AUDITOMETER Dr. L.W. Dean and Cordia Bunch Introduce Instrument to Medical Profession Introduction of the pitch range audiometer to the medical profession was recently made in the demonstration by Dr. L.W. Dean of the college of medicine and Cordia C. Bunch, research assistant in psychology and inventor of the machine, before the fifty-second annual meeting of the American Otological society at the Hotel Chelsea, Atlantic City, N.J. Results of the investigations of this machine were reported to the society. The pitch range audiometer is an instrument capable of measuring quickly and accurately keenness of hearing at any pitch within the range of the human ear. It is useful in the diagnosis of ear troubles and also in this analysis of musical talent, to which use it has been put in the psychology laboratory. During the war an early model of the instrument was recommended to the navy for use in the selection of U-boat listeners. It was used by the University during the period of the S.A.T.C. for the selection for radio men. Preliminary models were employed in the measurements of the hearing of patients in the University hospital. The audiometer is said by scientists to mark a distinct step in advance in the solution of psychological problems, and it is equally valuable to the medical professions. Investigations show that taking examination of children, cases of each trouble may be discovered before they have become acute and may this receive timely treatment. Recreation of a wholesome and democratic kind is provided to students of the summer session fo the University of Texas. Every Wednesday evening from 7:30 to 8:30 is set aside as play hour. Volley ball indoor baseball and folk games are played. [advertisement] Independence Day in 1919 You may feel, as so many others do, that the Fourth of July in 1919 has, and should have, a new significance. The Fathers of this nation fought a strong enemy that they might gain political freedom for themselves and their children's chidren. The Sons of the nation have just been fighting that they might give political freedom to others. The one thing we ought to be proudest of, and celebrate most enthusiastically, is not so much the freedom they have won for us and others, as the fact that they are willing to fight for it. And we ought to pause long enough from noise, and games and gaiety, to resolve with some solemnity, that nothign we can do shall be left undone, to keep and perpetuate what has been gained. That's one of the uses of such a holiday; we're all going to quit business and make it a day. Welcome Home Soliders of this World War. COASTS'
