Dabbling with the schools.

Dabbling with the schools.
We notice by our published report this
morning that they had up the chronic
text book question At the meeting OF the
State Educational Association at Point
Pleasant last week, We are glad how
ever to see that the committee appointed
to investigate the subject reported against
any changes. All movements looking to
:, changes In the text books used in the
public schools should receive the least
possible encouragement from the AssOCi-
alton. Not that that body has any power
to change tho books now in Use, for hap
ply the law protects the people in that
respect, but because all recommendations
in favor Of changes are calculated to do
harm to the best interests OF the school
system. The public mind OF West Vir-
ginia is sensitive on the subject Of sChOol
expenses, Since the inauguration of the
free school system in this State, dating back
over ten years, the tax payers have paid
mint OF money for the erection OF school
houses and the support Of instruction.
There are scores Of citizens in this COM
munity, and in many other communities
throughout the State, who have paid in the
aggregate thousands Of dollars in the shape
Of school taxes since the system was
adopted. There are thousands who have
paid hundreds OF dollars, and still other
thousands who have paid smaller amounts.
The tax has been very heavy on all
grades OF taxpayers, 80 much so that the
friends Of the system have not been with.
out their fears and anxieties at times that
u reaction against the very existence Of
the schools might set in,
On the part Of great many teachers
and county superintendents there has
been m evident lack Of appreciation Of
this state Of feeling among tax payers,
They have sought to fasten upon the sYs-
TEN Acknowledgements experiments, all
tending to magnify the Office Of the evan
escenI instructor or superintendent al the
expense not only Of the tax payer but,
worse still, Of the school system. We
depreCate all such empiriclsm. Every
true friend Of the public schools should
discontinue ii. The object Of every such
friend should be to pOpulari1e the sys.
tenn by doing all in his power to make
the expenses light instead Of too grievOns
to he borne The free schools have
we'll defined scope, They are not
academies but common schools. Their
proper object il and should be to furnish
instruction in the elementary branches
Of English education. Everything else is
illegitimate, and in the nature Of awrOng
to tax payers. Hence we are opposed to
that constant tendency to dabblc with the
curriculum Of the schools manifested by
40 many teachers. The law does well to
restrain them as far as possible. Better
too much restraint than too little. The
tendency Of educators, themselves In
too mony instances but partially edu.
Gated, Is to discard or emasculute ap-
proved and accepted methods, and substi-
tute experiments Of their own. In this
way they keep the public mind constantly
unsettled the effect Of which is IN under.
tone Of discomfort among tax payers.
