In an article in the Forum Prof. ]. M.
Rice declares that much valuable time is
wasted in the elementary schools public
and private, by the undue prolongation of
the period of studying certain subjects
Reading, writing. arithmetic, geography.
history and penmanship are all oVerdone.
in his opinion. When child has learned
to read any common book or newspaper
article correctly and understandingly, it
is time 10 drop reading as a distinct exer-
else. If it is desired that the pupil shall
acquire the art Of reading for oratorical
effect. that can be taken mp at later
stage. when the child's mind can better
grasp and appreciate the nicedes of in
tonation and expression.
In the matter of spelling, when the child
can spell correctly the common words in
ordinary use, the spelling lesson could be
profitably dropped and its time given 10
something else. Education in spelling will
go on naturally and without especial at
tention, as the pupil acquires other infor-

ing study is made burdensome and repug-
nant by requiring the child to memorize
significant rivers in unimportant foreign
corners of the world, and the hight of
mountains and the boundaries Of prov
inces they will most likely never hear of
after they have left the school room. The
same, ne argues, is true of history. Too
much attention is given to minor and UNI
important detail, at the expense of weak
ening the child's impressions with regard
to the leading and essential facts.
The common argument is that the men,
orizing Of these details is good mental ex-
ercise; that st strengthens and develops
the mind, making IL active and retentive.
Prof. Rice says that argument precisely
suits the publishers Of school books. who
are really responsible for the time wasted
in the elementary schools. They want to
sell big books. They can get more for big
books than for little ones; hence they
crowd in all of the details possible. and
school commissioners and other author-
ties accept what they are offered. School
authorities he says. are more often than
not under the control OF the publishers.

II certainly ought not to be expected Of a
child of thirteen years TO know as much
of the minor details Of mathematics. or of
the difficult and abstract subject OF gram
mar, as an adult. Yet under the systems
commonly employed children of that age
