UGLY TOYS DISCOUNTED.
In our ideal scheme we must see that the body is fit in every way. We must train the aesthetic sense by giving the children beautiful toys, not ugly pigs, cows, golliwogs, etc. We want a new set of nursery rhymes We should have delicate fascinating stories which the children need not grow out of. Grotesqueness plays a large part in education, in toys, in crude colours also. We should develop sensitiveness from birth, a "delicateness" of life. We must teach the children to control emotion. Games which have a strong sense of rhythm are good, for this. Animal energies are used up in rhythmic games.—C. Jinarajadasa, M.A., in a lecture; "Educational Ideals of the
Future."
