ana prejudice IN the opposite direction
arrived at with the fullest possible
knowledge of every single argument
which may be urged on the other side
i must avow my distinct conviction
that our present system OF exclusively
classical education, as II whole, and car
ried out as we do carry it out, is de-
plorable failure. ! say it, knowing that
the words are strong words, but not
without having considered them well;
and l say it because that system has
been weighed in the balance and found
wanting. 1t is no epigram, but sim
pie fact, to say that classical education
neglects all the powers of some minds,
and some of the powers of all minds.
In the case of the few it has u value
which, being partial, is unsatisfactory;
in the case of the vast multitude it ends
in utter and irremediable waste. Pop

A NEW EDUCATIONAL IDEA.

Professor Wait, of Cornell University,
has now in successful operation novel
method of instruction, which he has in
vented and developed himself. About
two years ago he began giving instruc-
tion by letter TO personal friend, who
was unable to enjoy the advantages of
a university course. The plan worked
well. The textbook chosen was divid-
ed into number of sections. On each
of these Professor Wait prepared an
elaborate syllabus, enlarging on the
subject from every point of view, and
furnishing q list of questions. The pu-
pill took each syllabus separately, mas
tered as much as possible of it, and
sent by mail TO the professor the points
which had proved too difficult to be
mastered. Provision was made for II
thorough examination at stated inter-
walls, which could also be conducted by
mail. In this way the idea grew, until
now Professor Wait has class of thir-
ty-one professors in colleges in the
United States and England, and COM
plete courses of instruction have been
prepared in various studies. .-NeeU York
