CONSTRUCTIVE TREATMENT
Two bells should be rung for dismissal. Let the first be a signal for
the children to pass to the dressing-room for their wraps. Let them
pass in single file, second row following the first, and so on. Let the
second bell be a signal for leaving the room. Here again, the seating
should determine the places in line. Stand at the door leading out
into the hall. Then give the signal for passing. “First row, second,
third,” and so on. See that no child violates this rule.
When the children are once thoroughly familiar with the order and
with the meaning of the signals, the first pupil in each row may be
entrusted with the leadership of that row and the signals may thus be
dispensed with.
Fire drills should be held at least once a month. Make the
occurrence as unexpected as possible. The regular method of
formation of the lines should be rigidly followed.
When the gong rings, each teacher should immediately drop the
work at hand and say,
“Attention! One, two, three!”
The word “Attention!” signifies a definite attitude of body and
mind. The work at hand should be immediately dropped, the head
raised and the hands at rest, while waiting for the next command. Do
not give the second command until you have the undivided attention
of every child in the room.
“One” signifies to turn in the seat; “two” to rise; and “three” to
pass.
In case it is your week for corridor duty, take your stand
immediately at the head of the stairs.
The lines of the four upper grades should be already formed on the
second floor and stairs leading to the floor below, ready to follow the
lines of the first floor, or signal from the teacher on duty there.
It should take no longer than five minutes to vacate a building
holding fourteen hundred pupils.
COMMENTS
Miss Walker could not expect order in the line when she had
taught no definite procedure. The only thought in the minds of the
children in her room was to get out of the room as quickly as
possible; the manner of doing it was a matter of no consideration to
them.
Children are naturally un-orderly; it is the teacher’s duty to train
them. In this case, she should draw up an order of marching that the
children could follow habitually and without confusion.
CONSTRUCTIVE TREATMENT
Every time your class has occasion to pass from the room, take the
same stand by the door, leading into the hall. Then say, “First row,
please pass! Second, third!” etc. When the last line has left the room,
take another permanent stand in the hall, where you watch the
children to see that they keep in a straight line and march in an
orderly fashion from room to room.
If one or two should “forget” to be quiet, speak to them while in
line. “John, remember the rule for marching in absolute order.”
