and we shall be disappointed if Prof.
Stetson-who is n good taiker when some
thing is to be said and a good worker when
something is to be done-does not try to
apply and doe: not in some degree en-
body the laws of scientific culture in the
art of our common school system-a
work, we grant, requiring for its fullest
success, the body of Hercules and the
broom of Horace Mann.
We invoke for State superintendent
Stetson the intelligent sympathy of our
educators as he undertakes to lift school
life away from drudgery toward dimin-
ished waste of time and attention For
example, we would like to see if there
cannot be found some plain and cimple
and yet effective economic primer that
might help to dislodge the rot of economic
misconception by lodging economic foot
rules in the hands of children, as Prof
Patten has recently shown to be entirely
practicable. We hold that there is enough
time wasted in trying to learn or in avoid
ing the study of the supcrfluous, to make
the young idea scoot as scoot It never did
before. That Prof. Stetson may prove
a leader apt and competent in intellect
and in spirit for this works the hope
Of every well wisher of our school life
The relations of the child to the State
imply the study of the relations of the
citizen to the State. The education that
suited the little red schoolhouse in 1912
is not the education that fits any life po-
tential in American children in the last
of the decade preceding the twentieth cen
fury.

The demands made upon our
columns during the session by the
regular House and Senate reports
are such as to leave US absolutely
no room for conducting forum,
neither do we think it incumbent
upon US to do 50. The Legislature
will give every man who has any
thing to say in regard to proposed
matters of legislation ample OPP
portunity to be heard. 1t is for this
very purpose that committee hear
ings are held, and due notice Of
them given to the interested pub
lie. We can not throw out our
telegraphic dispatches to provide
composition and secure space for
articles employing personaIviews
and designed to influence IegisIa-
ton.

Stenography As Part Of The College Cur
riculum,

Educators are extremely liable to get
into ruts, !" said a prominent State officer,
himself college graduate, in CONVERSE
ton with Journal representative re-
Gently Now practical course in stem
ography would be vastly more beneficial
from every point of view to the stu
dents in our colleges, than Greek and
some other departments of study, that
commonly figure in college curriculum
1t would not only afford the graduate ex-
cellent mental discipline but would pro-
vide him with an accomplishment that he
could put to practical every day use
during the rest of his life. The higher
education has departed too far from utili-
tartan standards. 1t is high time for
it to work its way out of the ruts and
catch up with the march of progress
What men need now is not only mental
discipline, but along with it something
that they can apply to the every day bust
ness affairs of life. The combination is
not a difficult one to secure; but it is too
often omitted from our educational sys-
tenn" There appears to be considerable
ground for this criticism. We live in prac
teal age. A young mans educational
training should therefore be of the charac-
ter that will best fit him for the work of life
Greek, or Latin or higher mathematics
play little or no part in the affairs of nine
tenths of the college graduates who take
their places in the activities of life. There
has been too much of a tendency in ed
ucational lines to venerate the past. In
situations of learning are proverbially
and sometimes unwisely conservative
Mental discipline has long been col
lege fetish-frequently to the almost ex-
clrIsion of practical attainment. Both
are essential to genuine culture, and
should go hand in hand. The modern
curriculum. in our progressive colleges, is
vastly different from that of two decades
ago. The changes have been in the ma
ture of concessions to the utilitarian spirit
of the age and the END is not yet. There
are men today who took prizes in Greek
and the higher mathematics, who while at
college cannot remember the Greek alpha

Superintendent Stets0n.
(Biddeford Journal }

W. W. Stetson, appointed to be State
superintendent of schools, succeeds a
good man and an absolutely faithful one,
Mr. Luce is q conservative man, and has
been rather inclined to favor the time
honored methods of teaching that, what
ever may be said of them, have always
aided in producing men of ability.
Mr. Stetson, on the other hand, is just
as strongly in favor of the most modern
methods in education that have proven
their usefulness. And while the function
of State superintendent is chiefly ad-
visory, there is no doubt that the effect
of Mr.. Stetson's administration, for
he is a man Of executive ability and an
enthusiast, will be to work no small
change in school methods.
