The address of DR.. William T. Harris the United
States Commissioner Of Education, yesterday after
noon. was interesting His subject was What Shall
we Study in the SchoOls7" lie said that there are five
windows in the human soul through which ii looks out
upon the world inward upon the nature OF WHAT Is
human or divine. Two of these windows of the in
teect look out upon nature in time and space. and
three of the windows look upon the character ana
actions of man and God. The first survey OF nature
includes its inorganic aspect matter and force The
school study of arithmetic gives the intellect an insight
Into the mechanical laws by which nature may be sub
dued and made Of service TO supply human wants.
Mathematics enables man 10 divide and conquer. But
the phase of nature is the organic one the pant
and ANIMAL which offer the spectacle of struggle on
the part Of higher principle TO subdue the eCaanlsm
OF matter and motion by means of the principle OF
life. The school study that opens the mind of the
child 70 this aspect is geography. The outlook from
geography is survey Of the world of productive in
rnstry The veil OF distance is lifted and the pupil
sees the spectacle Of the production, collection, dis
tribution and consumption property for orna
mont, amusement and culture, in all Chimes on all
Soils by all races Of and with diverse manners
md customs. The school studies that give an in
light into human nature and divine nature are history
"Opens upon the deeds Of man, and reveals the
higher self that organizes institutions, espe-
tally the nation, and protects those Institutions.
In Grammar the pupil gets glimpse Of the inward
workings of the MUD itself, for people reveals its
rINy Of the world and the stage Of consciousness that
II has reached in its language III discriminating the
parts OF speech the youth learns to distinguish sub
stance from accident, aua4V, quantity, actvltyt
passvity and relation; in short he gets training In
The use Of logical categOries which helps him 10
snsyze all problems of life. Finally, in literature,
such even as is served up in the school readers, he ndS
gems selected from the great poets and prose writers
Of the Language which for him the various
situations Of the soul. and make them conscious and
articulate forever after Thus it appears that the
foft tho has "a a
that opens ve windows of the soa toward the five
divisions OF human learning.
The lecturer next considered higher education, and
explained the effect Of Latin and Greek in emancpat-
ing the minds of youth born in civilized countries,
while Oriental peoples required different classical
course.
