Thoughts For The Times
About School Discipline. „ . “There is. nothing in civilisation which excites more vice than the coop-•ing-up of growing children in a school' desk,” said Professor Shelley when lecturing to the Christchurch Social Hygiene Society. “No emotional control is built up from passivity. No emotional control can be built up until the motions are aroused and worked put in physical activity. From tiie aesthetic and physical points of view, also the cooping up of children in desks is the most abominable tyranny of modern times. The child is not allowed to he anything but dead —there must be absolute stillness. That, however, is not discipline. True discipline is ordered action—not repression.” .
