ENORMOUS WASTE.
This is hardly a too severely utilt-
tartan view. know there are educators
who think the drift is already. too
strong in the direction Of utilitarianism
in our school instruction in this coun-
try. / must admit that the more see
our children learning things useful to

" practical, the more satisfaction l lind

There is enormous waste in schoo!!
life: due largely TO the demand OF
parents that knowledge shall be poured
In and piled up without regard to the
capacity to digest and assimilate; due
in some measure to the professional
ambition OF some educators to have
their pupils pass SNOWY examinations
in comprehensive curriculum; due to
some extent to the unreasoning, unrea-
sonable demands OF governing boards.
The press charges it You admit 1t;
Cannot the two potent forces join and

now MUCH CRITICISM WILL TEACHERS

IVW MUM SRAAAOA9d4
STAND?
What would you say If you were to
find something of this sort in your home
newspaper about your home school?
What would you think2 II you knew
the criticism to be just in the main and
from critic having very close to his
heart the welfare OF the school, how
would you feel towards the editor?
Would you meet him. as pleasantly as
before when he was saying only things
the most complimentary-thatis to say,
before he determined to be honest about
the school and reformed on that lineP
Would you go to see him, thank him for
his honesty and bid him persevere in
his good work, pledging your honor to
show yourself neither above nor be-
meath honest crltiCism2 There is some
human nature in the conductors OF the
public press as there is in the conduct
ors OF tho public school. Your attitude
towards the public press determines to
some extent its attitude towards you.
The press has not always the courage OF
its convictions. The American press
does not like to be accused OF hostility
to the American free school. 1t is some
times little too careful lest 1t be so
charged without reason, but with un-
comfortable results. / do not refer to
financial results, but TO misunderstand-
ing of motive and the consequent wrong
alignment as to personal considerations
and public matters. The question is,
How much will you stand from your
friends, still holding them as your
friends?
I am sure it is the earnest desire of
every conscientious teacher to get the
children into school, to keep them in
the school, to make the school allit can
be made to them. That the public
school has reached the climax OF Its eff
cheney no teacher maintains. All aim
ing at better things, there is difference
OF opinion as to the best ways and
means, So we have discussion and the
benefit OF many views. This helps us
to determine what we want and arouses
the interest to get 1t.

NIT to you, for you would take to 1t

that haunts me. Observation leads to
the apprehension that the school child

enough about their own state Most OF
those you instruct will pass their lives
in West Virginia; more would II they
could be made to understand the OPP
portunities their state offers to the In
telligent and industrious, to the men who
know what Is in the state, where to find
1t, its value in the market, how to get 1t
there, and have the courage and push
to lay hold with vigor. Useful, honor
able, profitable careers invite the young
people OF West Virginia to remain at
