A schoolmaster writes to the American Edu,
cation Mouthly in advocacy Of reading neWspa-
pers in school classes, and the examination OF
pupils as to their understanding of what they
read therein. He says be has noticed in bis
school that newspaper editorials frequently
give rise to full iuquiry into subjects of solid ln
terest to the pupils, as OF history, science and
art, as we'll as of matters of everyday impor-
lance, that are far more beneficial to them than
can be found 10 any the school text books.
This, says the Baltimore Sun, is good idea,
but it would be sadly married 10 its execution
unless great care were observed In selecting
the newspapers to be used.
