EDUCATIONAL Department..
Let the ptess aud the educators OF our country b.
coaborers In the great work Of education.

We give place to another communication
from "Child's Friend" being In full sympathy
with any and every improvement In oar pres
ont school systems, especially in tho depart
ment of primary instruction. Since every
reform movement Is more or less spasmodic,
according to Its popularity, and not always for
It's inherent worth or its needed effect upon
society and citizenship generally, II should be
accepted with caution, and due consideration
given before removing old land. marks, which
bear upon their weathcrbeaten exteriors the
impress Of success. That the new departure
from the old systems of teaching, as intro.
duced into the schools in Boston, Philadelphia,
and some other cities, Is receiving appreciation
from educators Of acknowledged ability Tor
and success In their vocations indicates do
sire for some change In the methods Of teach.
ing In the primary and other gradcs-at least
as far as the fifth grade-and II Is hoped the
reform will not be abandoned without giving
II an impartial trial, aud II found worthy Of
adoption, that the schools In our National Cap
ital will be marshaled 10 the front, bearing
aloft the banner of " Progress" with Excel.
sior " for its motto.
DEAR MADAME: As q friend Of children,
was pleased to read the spicy article Of Con-
servator' In your last issue. lie or she csr-
tainly knows how to ask questions, but am
unable to say whether they belong TO the cleo
tric or eclectic classes. am inclined to believe
that =" Conservntor," judging from the char
acter Of the questions, Is representative OF .
large class of both teachers aud school officers.
Some people seem to be naturally afraid Of
anything new, unless 1t Is their own pet OF
they can have the glory Of it. As your column
will not permit an exhaustive answer to tho
questions Of /" Conservator," 1 will simply say
that the new methods Of teaching are not gen.
orally well understood in this city rs can bo
shown by comparing the school work Of Bos-
ton with that Of this city.
As for the teachers Of this city, they arc evil
IDENTIFY trying to carry out the behcsts Of those
placed over them. No one believes that they
are to be blamed for what may bc considered
Objectionable in the course of studies and modes
Of teaching which they are required 10 observe.
Would not any teacher IN our public schools bs
afraid of losing his or her position II they
should attempt to teach in their own way, as
they do In Boston, When the directors Of the
Boston schools, through their new superintend-
ent, came to the conclusion to make their
methods Of instruction conform to nature and
common sense the teachers were found ready
to gird on the new armor aud use 1t faithfully,
and 1t is said are succeeding well. So 1t will
be here, when the motive power OF our schools
rises above place aud seeks the highest good OF
our children. We would like to answer more
Of the questions by "COnservator," but must
wait Tor another opportunity.
