A, Fiske Says He Docsn't Want Parents’ Ideas The modern parent cannot impose his ideas or knowledge upon the school child of today, who wants nothing but the spirit and idealism of the parent, according to Rev. Samuel A. Fiske, pastor of the Bep- lin Congregational church, speaking to a gathering of about 350 parents and teachers of the Roosevelt school association last evening. The meeting was in charge of Arthur H. Parker, newly elected president. Entertainment included music by the school orchestra, man- dolin solos by Miss Gladys Porto and vocal solos by Miss Eleanor Cars- well, a teacher. Miss Porto is a youthful student. A violin solo by John Potetz, another student, was one of the features of the program. All three artists were complimented by Mr. Parker upon the quality ef their offerings. o Old favorites came to life when a group ef children in the school enacted a childhood aketch “The Enchanted Picture Book.” Charac- ters which were recognized by par- ents as well as children, characters who have lived for years and prob- ably will live for ever, returned to express their regards to the audi- ence. Among the visitors from the enchanted realm were Robinson Crusoe, Alige in Wonderland, and the fairy quéen and the prince. The parts were taken by children in cos- tume. L Contrast With Old Schools Rev. Mr. Fiske called attention to the modern school such as the Roosevelt school with its improved methods of education, its art and sclence departments, music and hygiene and other features, and con. trasted it with the old fashioned “little red school house” with ita double seats, lack of comfort, and its sheet iron stove In the room. They had no music departments in the old schools, he told the children, and no art department: they had little beyond the fundamental three R's, but they did learn a lot about hard work. Referring to the difficulty of de- termining ju@ what is in the mind of a child today, Mr. Fiske express- ed as his opinion “the man who ever fully understands the mind and heart of the child will be the great- est phenomenon on earth.” He spoke of the relationship the life of each person bears to that of | another and cited the desire of par- ents to give the hest they have to their children. He created some amusement by fillustrating an inci- dent where the parents offer advice or opportunity to a child, only to get the reply, “Aw I don't want that” when he sald the parent becomes The ambition of nine eut of 10 fathers and mothers is to h the child do the things they never did do, he charged ,adding that a great deal the child gets from the teachers is that quality the teachers have escap- | ed but admire and wish to implant in the minds of the chiidren. “You can't give all your wisdom to your son and say: ‘John this will make you a man’ any more than you can give John a whole bottle of castor oil and expect him to-take it,” added the minister. “Youth doesn't want our knowl. edge, it is asking for our spirit, it wants that quality of mind and heart that makes men and women. “The ambition of many a boy or girl is go nowhere at 65 miles an hour and then sit down and wonder what they are going to do next,” de- clared the apeaker. “They don't want our ideas on these things, they want us to understand them better. “We shouldn’t try to make our \deas ana opinions predominate. The thing they want most, the thing that make life desirable is that spirit that makes life worth while. “The success of education is in the kind of life we lead. The kind of education we get is reflected in the character we develop. The boy or girl who thinks he or she knows more than anyone else is in a sad fix. The man or woman T least respect is the intellectual anob.” The miniter concluded with a plea to parents to cooperate with teachers for a more complete under- standing of the children. Woman Misses Last Train, Sleeps at Police Station For the firat time in his experience of several ycars as night desk officer, Lieutenant Matthias Rival had a woman lodger at the police station carly this morning. A colored wom- an, who sald her home was in Hart- discouraged and disappointed. ford, called at heddquarters and said she had miseed the last train, trolley chr and bus and was without suffi- elent meney to stop at a hotel. The lieutenant offered her a bed in the women's cell room, which she gladly accepted, and this morning she was alled in time to take the first train for Hartford.
