MIN was How much OF anatomy shoulu
be taught in the primary and gram mar
schools" He gave as his opinion that
nothing more than a short treatise on
the structure, composition and position
OF the bones should be taught, as the
pupils are usually so young that tney
are not able TO take up a more tecnnl-
cal work. The questions, How TO ven
tilate our houses" and "How Will you

of grading country and village schools,
formulated by the State Superintend-

unless free text books are provided by
the State.
'3. That we need text books on
State history and penmanship.

history is greatly inferior TO many 9TH

GINA School Journal, and ask that 1t be
published earlier in the month.
