Synopsis
Excerpt from How We Travel: A Geographical Reader
Those experiences only are truly educative which prepare the individual to fill his place in life in the most efficient manner. That some Of the work Of the school does not come up to this standard must be admitted. The reason why experiences obtained outside Of the schoolroom are generally so much more effective, lasting, and valuable than many Of those obtained within is that in the former case they deal with things rather than with words. Moreover, these experiences are acquired by the child because he desires them. More closely to relate school and life experiences is one Of the great aims Of educational workers.
As a result Of long study, we have come to the realiza tion Of the truth that the opportunities and conditions presented for growth through the agency Of the school will be consciously and purposely laid hold Of by pupils, and the results thus obtained woven into the fabric Of their character, only as these Opportunities and conditions make direct appeal to them. While we can never, in a large sense, bring into the school room the realities with which the great subject Of geography deals, we can create in the child that which is at once the great incentive and the key to all study interest.
