When the tide is at the full, il turns Our
educational methods have been growing in
system and severity, if not in perfection, for
many years. and the demands upon the pu-
pil have constantly increased, until the ne
cessities for grading have become impera-
tive, and the peculiarities of the individual
are almost entirely ignored. 1t would seem
impossible to carry this further. and any
change now must be in some other direc-
ton. At this crisis. one of the brightest
aud most fearless of American writers comes
forward with strong argument against the
whole system. protest against the grading
and examining that take so much of the VI
tality ont Of the education we are giving to
the rising generation. Edward Everett
Hale. in the November number of the North
n.eyieaa Rsrier, makes plea for Half
TIME in Schools" which every parent and
every school board ought to consider seri-
ously. The old question, Where are we,
and where drifting?- was never more forci-
bly, suggested than by another article in the
same number. that in which Prof Gillian
discusses The African problem" The
facts that he gives as to the increase of the
negroes in the United States. their peculiar
situation and disposition, and the problem
they will force upon us in the near future,
call for the gravest consideration. The other
