=Types of Education.=--Dr. Lester Ward, in his _Dynamic Sociology_, lists the various types of education we must cherish and realize in the common life as follows: "The Education of Experience; The Education of Discipline; The Education of Culture; The Education of Research; The Education of Information." To this list, with which most educators would be in agreement, the believers in the "New Education" might add the Education of Development of Personality. Experience, discipline, culture, research, and information are, however, the great means by which the personality absorbs the social inheritance and thus finds its own place in the social whole. The early initiation by the family to all these means of personal development is not yet exhausted either in function or in social usefulness. The family still begins the socializing process. QUESTIONS ON THE FAMILY AND THE SCHOOL 1. In child-training, should the general aim be to give as much as possible of that training in the home or as much as possible in the school? or what is a wise and efficient balance between family and society influence in education? 2. Given a necessity in character-development for drill in obedience, stimulus toward self-development, capacity for self-control and for helpful association with others in the interest of the commonweal, what part, if any, can the home play which the school cannot? 3. What is the duty of citizens in respect to tax-supported and compulsory education and how can that duty be effectively done in city and country life? 4. How can educational systems be made to work for the better cooerdination of family life among the newly arrived immigrants? 5. Outline, in general suggestion, an educational program for boys and for girls which would be likely to directly aid the family in attaining stability and success among all classes, having regard to aim, subject-matter, methods of character-development and form of social provision and control in the school.
