NOT TO BLAME

Home Lessons "Intrusion"

FAMILY LIFE IS

BROKEN UP

Edinburgh, July 1.

1 The break-up of home life, the cause of juvenile delinquency, the "Intrusion" of the school on family life through home. work.. and the need for religious teach- Ing in the schools to contradict the utter paganiem” to be seen in Edinburgh, were among Luc toples discussed at a conference held in Edinburgh last night.

The conference, which discussed "Co-operation between home and school," WAS hell in Bruntsfleld School. Mrs. J. F. Bruce, chairman of the Central Council of the Edinburgh and Leith Parent and Parent Teachers' Associations pre- sidied.

"We Hear lot these days of nursery schools, physical training, and juvenile delinquency. With re-

Hard to the latter, we are told by

Magistrates, Sheriffs, and ministers

of religion that parents are to blame,

Nobody defends the parents unless they do so themselves.

"If a young minlater comes to a church, he is not content until he gets Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, and a Band of Hope, and thus the church wmpts the children out of doors practically, every night of the week That is one reason for the break-up of home e."

These observations were made by Mra, Bruce In the courge of US address to the conference.

"WEEK-ENDS SHOULD BE FREE*

"The school," she continued, "does not break up home life, but it in- trudes upon it, and the school is intruding far too much on the home life of the nation. The development of music or any hobby cannot be carried on in the home, because the older children have to devote the whole night to home lessons."

She had heard it said by a teacher, said Mrs. Bruce that if a child did home lessons on a Sunday it was because the child had given up the whole of Saturday to plensure,

"Why should a chlid not devote the Saturday to pleasure? Humne work should not be allowed to In- trude on either Saturday or Sunday." (Applause.)

wan

With reference to the Parents' Association movement, which first begun locally in Leith Academy in 1920, Mrs. Bruce remarked that in Edinburgh

now had thirteen they associations. They were not de- pressed by the

the slowness of the

movement, which in Scolland was making more progress than in Eng- lund among parents. They would like to get the co-operation of the teachers. (Applause.)

"CHILDREN LIKE SCHOOL" That teachers and parents had the same aim and purpose in relation to the children under their care was stressed by Mr. P. W. D. Stewart,

headmuster of Flora Stevenson's School. They must train the chil- dren to grow up honest and God- fearing, to educate them for suitable employment and the right use of leisure, and ny the foundations at. good citizenship..

"Most children do like the school now, but we touchers cannot fulfil the alm alone," said Mr. Stewart. I parents and teachers got together, then perhaps they could accomplish 11.'

(Applause.)

Speaking of the desirability of children having a church connection, Mr. Stewart said it was required to impart ᄆ certain refinement of manner and to contradict the utter paganism which they saw in Edin- burgh on a Sunday. On Blackford Hill one could see women trousered and smoking and playing football.

Homework, he thought, should be graded, according to both age ani the home circumstances of the child.

"A MINISTER'S JOB" "Although things have Improved greatly in recent years, some children still live in houses, where whole families live in one room, and the table is never clear of dirty dishes. You cannot expect a child to turn out anything worth looking at under such circumstances," declared Mr. Stewart.

He was not, however, against home work altogether, but it should not be given without much consideration. He agreed there should be none at the week-end. (Applause.)

In the discussion which followed, one man expressed the view that there should be no religious instruc- tion in schools, a remark which provoked cries of dissent from the body of the hall. He suggested that such teaching was "0 minister's job."

Mr. Hendry, president of the Trinity Academy Parenta Associa tlon, urged the great need for co- operation between parent and tea- cher, and Mr. Mitchell, headmaster of Dr. Bell's School, Leith, spoke on the value of the nursery school,
