EpuoArIoN ANp INDUSTRY.

10 The Editor Of the Press:
This generation is beginning to understand
that education should not be forever divorced
from industry; that the highest results can be
reached only when science guides the hand of
labor. With what eagerness and alacrity is
industry Selling every Truth OF science and
putting it in harness." These words OF James
A. Garfield tell what We need in our schools
ment in favor of the plan suggested by Mr.
Moves.
We are all in favor of our free schools. This
talk about rich men and poor men is all nom
sense. What rich and poor alike want is thai
our youth may receive that instruction which
will enable them to fight the battle of life sue
cessfully. The opponents of the present man
agement of our schools believe that they fail
to accomplish this result.
We believe that all minds are not capable of
being moulded in the same form. We believe
that 1t requires as much brains to become
GOOD mechanic as it does to become a profess
sional man. We believe the tendency OF the
present system is to make our young men look
upon those honorable avocations as beneath
them. We know by observation that the sue
cessful men OF the present day are not the
product of such system. We feel that
great wrong is being done to our youth that
they are not getting an equivalent for the
money expended. We don't begrudge the
money voted to carry on the schools provided
it is expended in way that shall give us re-
turns in shape Of graduates who are fitted for
what their minds of capable Of making them
II is this useless stuff that is beaten into
their heads producing no practical results TO
which we object. We want no more of this
fancy education.
The remedy is in the hands of the people.
The school committee hire the superintendent.
The people elect the school committee. If
they want the present system they can re-elect
the members whose terms expire this spring
II they want change let them select four men
who will favor it,
The question of politics should not be men,
toned in this matter. The whole people
should rise up and bring about the desired
change. ONE OF THE PEOPLE.

In the case of the other special teachers
similar state of facts exists. And IN general
the special teachers are merely ornamental.
They don't really teach the branches they pre-
tend to teach, and it would be no advantage II
they did. If, after course through the CITY
schools, through the Normal school, IN the
practice school, in the special normal class IN
stituted by Mr.. fash, and finally after course
OF monthly lectures by that illustrious schoiar,
our regular teachers are not able to grappie
with all the branches which ought to be taught
in our common schools let us discharge them
and try others who have not been spoileo by
too much training.
Notwithstanding the evident desire on the
part Of v. Z. q. to shield the school commit
tee at the expense of Mr.. fash, his statement
or opinion that the supervision of the schools
was more faithful under the old committee OF
twenty-one than it has been since, Is SO evl-
of what that supervision was then and has
been since as to give it great weight. IL IS
due to the public who are not SO we'll informed
as x, Y. q. that he state the facts more IN de-
tail.

In the class which goes into the grammar
schools next summer inform me that certain
tests are now proposed to them to ascertain
their proficiency One of these tests is that
they shall write some ten sentences which are
to be given them verbally 1t is expected that
the spelling shall be correct, but the point TO
which particular attention is to be given is
that the capital letters and punctuation marks
shall be placed exactly, as in the book from
which the sentences are read. Inasmuch as
the use of capitals and punctuation marks is
to great extent matter of taste of the pupils,
the great stress laid upon the punctuation
seems to me foolish burden laid on the
minds of the children. At their age the spell
ing ought to be the main point to be attended
to. OF a piece with this programme Of stud
ies'' is that of requiring children in the prima-
ry schools, who have no knowledge of deci-
mails, to add, multiply and divide dollars and
