DALTON EDUCATIONAL PLAN
MISS PARKHURST'S VISIT TO JAPAN WANIE CHINA
Miss Helen Parkhurst has left New York at the invitation at the Imperiar Japanesu. Educational. Association « pub the_Educational Moreau of Mukica, China, to lecture, in Japan, and China on her educational plan. This system," ite is claimed is bringing joyous rapid un. foldment to thousands of schoof children in a ilozen-countries. To a. representas tive of the "Christian Science Monitor: "? | Miss Parkhurst aid Japan" was but of the first foreign countries to translate her book or the Dalton" plan. The Japanese", "people also translated Misa -Evelyn Dewey's book on her work and sent the Japanese world educational.com. mission to watch the Children's. Univers sity School for a week, after which the comitusajou" published book on the school. These hare "been circulated widely through out the Empire, and älso in China, and there now are known to be. 50 Dalton Plan schools in Nanking. 12 in Mukden and others in shanghai and Peking
Miss Parkhurst will speak four hours a day for three days at the Stijo School in Tokyo, where the English-speaking educators "will come to hear her. Her audience the will go duit to translate ber speech in the smaller communities, and she will speak in six other cities before, leaving for China
A school certainly is a novelty which lays & child study before him as job, and leaves it with hira to budget his own time according to his needs, and which peruits a child to wander from room to room in search of a book or a teacher whom he needs at the moment to explain a moot point, thereby doing away with irritation and repression. By the Dalton plan children are learning to do things themselves on job, which links their sebool with their activities in the outside world for all time.

Mr. George Lansbury, who introduced the deputation, drew special attention to its representative character as indicat ing a recent rapid growth of public opinion on the subject. He was followed by Major Christopher Lowther and Miss Margery Fry, who argued the case in greater detail and produced various figüres. N
The Home Secretary thanked the de putation for their full staternent of their case and promised that what they had said would be brought before the Gov ernment in an appropriate form before! any decision was reached by the Govern ment on the question of abilition.
