So far as Congress acts as his physician, the
President is a homeopathic. He will take
only attenuated doses of coercion. 1t Is some
what wearisome to the Congressional doctor to
be continually compelled to reduce the size of
the profered pill and increase its sugar coating,
In the hope that his refractory patient will be
induced to swallow the dose, before it becomes
all sugar.

The Revolt Against Cramming.

The proposed changes In the present course
Of studies In the public schools come up for
consideration at the meeting Of the board OF
trustees this evening. The evils to be corrected
In our system OF education are not confined 10
the course In this city, but may almost be saio
to be national. The verdict of Mr.. AgaS5H tnat
we are too proud Of the success we have
achieved In education, that too much is made OF
the memory and too little of the mind, that
there are too many branches OF study for pro-
iciency In any one important respect, too
many text books, the work Of men who write
not from knowledge but as trade,
and that thoroughness Is too often
sacrificed to ostentatious display, is
confirmed by the published testimony of
educators, pupils and parents In almost every
section Of the country. 1t Is no peculiar dis
credit to Washington and its school board that
the common evil is recognized to exist here as
elsewhere. 1t will be greatly to the credit OF
both city and board to devise, so far as may be
possible, a practicable remedy. The trustees
have shown readiness to consider all sug-
gestions calculated to improve the schools
entrusted to their care. The committee, which
they Instructed to consider the subject of a
revision Of studies, has performed its labors
faithfully and 1ntelligently. Its recommended
lions, which in the main compel and receive
popular endorsement at first reading, will
doubtless have great weight with the board.
The changes proposed are said to contemplate:
mo new textbooks. fewer studies, more oral
instruction by teachers, less show work,
more Of the practical, less Of the theoretical"
There may naturally arise difference OF opln-
ion among the trustees as to whether some
poiAts OF detail in the revision suggested follow
necessarily from the acceptance of the above
principles Of action. But the necessity of
changes In the direction Indicated, which will
reduce the evils Of which complaint has been
made to minimum, is plainly evident. SO far
as the recommendations of the committee are
shown to come under the principles above
quoted, the great body OF the citizens of Wash
1ngton will heartily endorse the board of trus-
tees In adopting them. Such course will not
only benefit the parents, teachers aud pupils Of
the District, but, by marking positive action,
not mere protest, ag ainst the faults Of our
American educational system, Ii will extend its
influence for good beyond the District limits to
every city In the United States where similar
evils exist.
