REVITALISED TEXT BOOKS
A NEEI) IN EDUCATION TO-DAY
"Nothing . would do so, much to transform education in New Zealand into a dynamic proces as the provision of a set of revitalised text books,” says the journal of the New Zealand Educational'. Institute!. "Children cannot be expected to have, a thirst for knowledge after .they leave school if day after day throughout the period of their formal education they have found by experience that the sources of knowledge are no more than a collection Of mummified relics. The only way to change this attitude is to ensure that the next text books, at the same time as they contain the basic elements of knowledge, are written and produced in, such a manner, as will rivet the attention of the children. This may be a tall order, but in such a matter as this no expenditure of time, thought and money should be spared”’
