THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 29TH,

A VERY UNUSUAL SCHOOL. WHERE CHILDREN ENJOY LIFE.

The New York Nation's writer, “The Drifter, saya, that many years ago he,{ with certain, of his companions,” used to while away some of his leisure hours at playing “school-possibly on the theory that voluntary" pain is almost pleasure.. As he remembers, these ventures into education, they were rigidly conventional and dour: the teacher issued orders to the pupils in a stern voice and if he was net instantly obeyed he beat them with stick,, provided they remained within beating distance; suggestions from bright pupils as to what they should do next were not received in good part by their mentor. In elber words, the Draft in the his associates believed in education in the old-fashioned way-which is only-another way of saying that they had never heard of a certain school in Mexico City

The Drifter is indebted to Mr. Frank Tannenbaum and the Century Maggie for the account of what they, and he, call dhe Miracle School. The school was!

by one courageous-man in the started middle of one of the worst quarters in the city, a haven for cutthroats and bandits; no one had ever thought of es- tablishing a whool there, or of collecting | taxes-there, or of carting away refuse, or performing any other civil functions. The citizens were supposed to be beyond redemption or the wish for it; let them go their own evil ways, and rear their children in them, said the civil authorities -until the school was started. Mr. Tannenbaum telis a naive and captivating story of the school's beginnings in an old f beer garden destroyed by a revolution :

the walls and the ceilings were on the floor. The teacher fälled the children together and said. Let us make a school." They did. The "first thing to do was to clean, the place up and reconstrues it. The teacher showed them how to do it. fle picked up a stona and began to carry it out. The children` did "tla- SIIDC, Thers was no organisation There was no telling this child to do this and this child to do that. The children. knew the place had to be reconstructed and every child did what he could o would.

They sat down, when

they felt like it. All the child ren in the neighbourhood heard of the great enterprise, and maLDN fine to share in it, because it was happy

REAL RESULTS...

This sort of haphazard work, so`ile- eried by the exponents of formal educa tion, actually brought results. The building was cleaned out, and the walls and ceiling put back into their proper place. But the children bad tasted blood

nothing but another world to congiser | would suit them.

When all the dirt had been tak out of the insite of the school, they began to clean as the nutside of th

hool, and gradually followed the dirt into the streets of the neighbourhood. Those streets hail.never a broom from the days of creation, and the űrst ap pearance of little children sweeping tlum started the neighbourhoud. Of casionally, one might now see an older man sweeping the streets with the children, attempting to discover the secret that made the children so play. ful and happy at their task.

It was all so easy; one tower after another fell before the conquering ar rows "of the young; the streets being. swept, it becue uecessary for the sweep. ngs to disappear-a parade of the child rea brought the Street Cleaning Depart ment to their doors. When clean ground appeared under the piles of rubbish in the schoolyard it seemed a pity of let it lie idle, eg the children planted veget able gardens and worked them; the strips of soil in front of the school building were filled with flowers and shrubs.

WASHING POPULAR

The children, while not neglecting the more aesthetic aspects of their surround ings, did not forget either. that one should improve une's own appearance as well. Washing, unknown among their

Tho school-day is it long one, but the child- ren make it so themselves. There is so much to do and, incidentally, so much th leam. It is at this point that the Drifter begins to hear the chorus of: tried nad trus educators such as he exemplified so well in his youth "This is all very well, they shout belligerently, but what really do they learn besides sweeping and face washing? Have they a spare hour this with heavy sar eas for the three R's or any similar subjects hitherto considered essential to an elementary education? The child- ren would answer scornfully, he knows, but the Drifter, grown patient with age, is willing to explain. The young gor deners sell the produce they raise; how shall they know a fair price or a reasou- able profit if they bave not" mastered Arithmetic? Before they are given their land, which they own outright, they must. be able to read the drod, anderen; before that they must send in a written request for their patch Writing and reading becomis part of their curriculam because they have need for them. It be comes necessary to koop their savinge safe and the creation A bank and a young baker lays, the foundations for the study of economics. And so it goes: they learn because they must, and they must not because someone tails them they Well, the Drifter does not mind saying that he would like to attend this Mexican school. Failing that, be might almost decide to become a teacher there, not in order to teach the children but to learn | from them. And since it, seema" hardly possible that he could desire to remain in osa place long etioagh to find out all that the children can evidently tench, he wishes for moderáte riches with which to make a gift that will enable other tea chors to go there.
