Boultwood
Speaks On
Education
. Miss ,M. ,E., A. Boultwood, senior
woman lecturer in education at the
University of Leeds, England, spoke
in chapel yesterday on the topic
“Comenius and the Moravian Tra
dition of Education.”
In her speech. Miss Boultwood
showed through the principles of
Comenius, an early Moravian edu
cator, the advancement of the Mo
ravians in the field of education.
The early European Moravians
believed that both boys and girls
should be educated and that learn
ing should be made enjoyable.
Miss Boultwood gave some of the
lessons which can be derived from
the thoughts of Comenius, such as
the idea of being internationally-
minded without being disloyal to
our own country—in the light of
the knowledge which God has given
us to enjoy and share.
She also. explained some of Co
menius' ideas concerning education.^
These were: the use of universal
'• books, the establishment of unive#’
sal Colleges, and the use of a
versal language.
, She concluded by s a y i n s' fha|^
Comenius also realized that^^bplie)
must learn to get along to^eth^’
and must learn certain conv/nfiio^:
in order to exist. 4
