Too Many Subjects In Our Schools.

| am no educationalist, and may be
accused of speaking about what / am
ignorant OF if l suggest that too many
things are taught at the same time, and
too much time is taken for the whole
process. Think of an undeveloped
brain getting up book-knowledGe on
ten different sub iects all the same day,
and this going on day after day for
years. 1t is altgether contrary to the
principles of sound psychology to i'm
agine that any sort Of mental process.
worthy Of the name of thinking, can
take place in that brain while that is
going on. The natural tendency OF
good brain at that age TO be inquisi-
tive and receptive is glutted to more
than safety. The natural process OF
building up fabric Of mental complete
ness by having each new fact and OBJ
servation looked at in different ways,
and having 1t suggest other facts and
ideas, and then settle down as q part OF
the regular furniture Of the mind, can
not possibly 60 on where new facts are
shoveled in by the hundred day by day.
The effect of this is bad on boys,
but is worse on girls, because
it is more alien to their mental
constitution. The effect on them OF
this unnatural process is to exhaust the
nervous power at the time, and TO leave
the brain afterward filed with useless
things that are soon forgotten and pass
away; as Goethe said about profession
al men: they labor under a great disad'
vantage in not being allowed TO be ig-
norant OF what is to them useless. The
vital energies and nervous power that
had thus been thrown away should have
gone toward feminine equipment Of a
healthy, well developed body, mind
built up and stored with knowledge that
had a relation to its own nature and To
the wants of its future life, affections
not attenuated by scholastic routine,
and a cheerfulness that is only compat.
ible with good health. The examining
up Of the dry facts Of those many sub.
jects is in most cases WEAKNESS and
