The Public School of the Future.

If all the suggestions made about
popular education are adopted the daily
curriculum of the public school of 1900
will be about as follows: One hour sew
ing, one hour washing and ironing one
hour cooking, one hour table-setting
and other branches of housekeeping,
one hour music, one hour dancing one
hour painting, one hour modelling and
sculpture, one hour reading, one hour
writing, one hour arithmetic, one hour
bookkeeping, one hour industrial educa-
ton, one hour civil government, one
hour each on geography, algebra, trgo-
nometry, Latin, Greek, French German,
botany, astronomy, tariff and free trade,
farming and the weather. If the scholar
of 1900 has any time to spare probably
some enthusiast will suggest the study
of electricity, aerial navigation and the
nebular hypothesis. Don't crowd the
