MAKE haste slowly. There should be

remember that education means draw
ing out and not examining in"

Monthly advocates sturdily the reading

ture of governmental administration and
phases of party history foreign to the
usual order of thought In school life; and
he concludes that pupils should be taught
the kind of knowledge thatwould enable
them to read Understandings leading
editorials of the best newspapers.

"A process for the manufacture of
