Mr.. Brown was then introduced and
spoke at some length on the object and
scope OF education in America.

speaker. land the most of these problems
ought TO be solved by those engaged in
educational work. One of the anomalies
OF our present policy is the selection oil

stated examinations. Still there was a
call for better results. The kindergarten
was introduced. Manual training and the
workshop came next. 1t had been the
panacea epoch. but an era had been
reached when educators began to ask what
the mission of the public school was.

cal and psychological standpoipts now.

for the so 'ial order. The old Idea of edu-

that one fundamental error con slsted in a

conscious that the child had an esthetic
sense, the training of which was not more
important than that of the intellectual
aud moral faculties. This was due, he
thought. in part to prejudices inherited
from Puritan forefaihers, who cultivated
the intellectual and moral faculties ex-
clusivelv An awakenia g to this fact was
responsible for the introduction of the
so-ralled fads into school work.
The function of the public school was
to prepare the child for se'f-directjye
action in the social order of which he
must become art. The three Rs in the
light OF modern progress were insnfi-
Gent for child's education. The school
life should be brought into closer relation

must soon become part The proper
teaching of one subject involved the teach
