John Holt’s book, How Children Fail, seeks to find and explain the source of failure. ; li Saturday, December 12th 9:00 A.M. English — all college Monday, December 14th 9:00 A.M.

Respectfully, Lt.-Col. D. S. Call 3rd Cruik WATCH OUT ! ! Mr. Holt worked with a group of ten and eleven-year-olds in a private school. In order to get a good cross- section, Mr. Holt picked students who were not unusually quick to learn or unusually slow. As an ob server and part-time teacher of the class, he had the opportunity to dis cover and understand their learning difficulty. In his book, he records the previously unexpressed thoughts of many teachers. The author reveals some rather startling points. Perhaps the most frightening dis covery is that these young children have already learned to be defensive and to build up mental blocks not only in social activities but also in learning. Mr. Holt suggests that these early habit patterns are both the child’s fault and the teacher’s. The teacher is at fault for she en courages the right answers and seldom pays attention to how wrong a wrong answer is. The child suffers as a result of this for he strives not to learn but to get the right answer. Another distressing factor is that apparently children seldom, if ever, profit from their mistakes. When making an incorrect statement they would not say to themselves, “What have I done wrong?” but would keep on making wild guesses. Mr. Holt feels that often these children do not seek logical solutions; they are con cerned only with having “an answer ” and being approved by their class mates. Although not totally pessimistic in nature. How Children Fail did not hesitate to point out the fallacies of the school system. Mr. Holt not only presents the problems, but sets forth possible solutions also. The book was self-explanatory and easy to read.
