THE SCHOOL AS A COMMUNITY.
School should be a place where a natural communal life can be lived by the children, a life which will provide natural tasks to be performed, some individually, and many in co-op-eration; which will supply problems to be solved, by action, not merely arithmetical, or other problems in a book to be figured out, though figuring and reading will be found necessary, and will, therefore, be learned willingly; and in which situations will occur where oontiict can arise, and the need of its solution be felt. . . The root idea at the bottom of this theory of the function of the school is that it must be a community, wherein those virtues only to be learned by taking part in an understandable communal life may be acquired.”
