Common school CurricuIunA

Two years ago the Georgia Teachers
Association, il convention at Cumberland
Island, appointed Profs ]. S. Stewart, L.
b. Evans, OILS Ashlnore, w. r. Power
ana c. w. Wright committee to prepare
a course Of study for the common schools
of the state. The report of the committee
was submitted to the association which as
sembled in annual session at Indian
Springs last Friday. The feature of the re-
port is the condemnation of the graded
system, which the committee says cannot
be applied TO course suited for the state.
The needs Of the several sections of the
state, of the city and The country, differ
widely. In some sections the school term
runs for ten months. in others seven, and
in stiI others, five. Manifestly it would be
impossible to make all of these conform
to the same rule of study. THE course Of
study" says the committee, SHOULD not
be Procrustean bed on which to stretch
the work of the school In order to give I'M
iformty," but rather 1t should be the
measuring rod or scale which Is used to
determine at what point in the eight years
work in the elementary course a pupil has
arrived" Continuing. the committee says:
THE block system of forcing all pupils
into the same grade for a year. yokng to-
sether the hare and the tortoise, is doomed
even in the cities, and it would evidently
be a step backward to impose such a sys-
tenn upon the schools Of the state. 1t has
always reminded us of the times of the in
QUESTION"
Holding such views of a hard-and-fast
graded system, the committee endeavored
to formulate a plan so arranged that it
would meet all Of the needs of the common
schools of the state. and at the same time
so elastic that it would not destroy the
originality of the teacher or hamper the
progress of the pupil. No attempt was
made to limit or prescribe the time in
which certain amount of work should be
accomplished, owing to the varying length
Of school terms and the further fact that
what might be accomplished by one child
in a single year might take another child
three years. 1t is one of the leading ideas
Of the committee that each child should he
permitted TO take as much time as might
be necessary TO perform thoroughly the
work required Of it.
The committee, therefore, suggests cur
ricuium for the common schools of the
state, dividing 1t into four periods, and
designating what should be accomplished
in each period in order to be promoted to

the next period Each period is called
FORM" TO distinguish it from class or
grade. In making up these forms, the best
features Of the common schools of other
states have been drawn upon 10 some ex-
tent. The committee endeavored to corel-
late the course of study, as far as posi-
bic, to the state syllabus for 1888. 1t is pro-
posed that the next syllabus shall include
and explain fully the system proposed by
the committee. by the adoption of the
forms suggested by the committee, it is
believed the very annoying and retarding
congratulations which almost all rural
schools undergo every time there is a
change of teachers wIll be done away
with. Each teacher will work under the
same series of forms" hence when new
teacher goes to a school 1t will be found
already organized and classified, to the
great benefit of the pupils. There would be
no more complaints like one the commit
Tee noted from pupil why" said the
child, Il have been to South America four
times. but each new teacher turned me

Why Europe Hates Us.

In an interview on his return from Lon,
don, a day or two ago, Mr.. Chauncey NJ,
Depew said that all the continental ma,
tons of Europe have a feeling of hostility
TO us. Great Britain does not entertain
such a feeling for the reason, principally.
that she wants to form an alliance with
us, with the view of dominating the rest
of the world.
One of the reasons why the nations of
Continental Europe regard us with un.
friendly feelings is that we are selling
them more than they buy from us The
prospect that We will enter the market
of the Far East as a competitor is also
dispeasing to them.
Europe has good reason to regard with
alarm our increasing wealth and prosper
ity. A statstician of worldwide reputa-
ton published recently some figures which
show that the United States are by far
the richest nation in the world
How great and rich we are becoming
is shown by the amount of our exports
during the fiscal year which ended on
June 30. Our exports of agricultural
products ana manufactures amounted TO
81 200 600. During the same period the
value of our imports reached only a lit
tie more than half that amount There
fore the balance of trade in our favor
was pretty nearly 100000 OOO With such
a balance it is not TO he wondered al
that other nations regard us with feel
ings akin to envy. and that they would
like nothing better than chance to Grip
pie us.
The last fiscal year was a remarkable
one in our export and import trade. The
value of our imports was less than for
any year since 1885, and our exports were
the greatest on record
The amount of gold that came into the
country during the last fiscal year was
very large-more than 500 100000. And we
did not lose any. Il is estimated that Eu-
rope is still indebted to us on last years
business quite $500, COO coo. If we could con
tinue to have such an enormous balance
Of trade in our favor for few years we
should drain pretty nearly all the gold
out of Europe.
Our combined import and export trade
Is now greater than that of any other
country, except Great Britain and il f.
pretty nearly as large as that of Great
Britain. II our commerce continues 10

A stem rewards Imperialism.

n SiSD
No one who has followed the debate on
the Newlands resolution-the resolution
which provides for annexing Hawaii to
this country--can come TO any other con-
clusion that we are drifting away from
ancient mornings and that our respect for
the constitution is not as great as it used
to be-
On the plea that Hawaii is necessary to
us, although It has not yet been salts
factoriy shown that the plea is correct
we are going to annex 1t by a joint reso-
luton, although there is no authority in
the constitution for such a proceeding.
We go outside of the constitution to ac-
complish that which we cannot do in &C
cordance with the constitution. The pos
session of Hawaii is not necessary to the
success of any of our plans or purposes or
to our national welfare. II is true that we
need coaling station in Hawaii, but that
we have already. The majority of the
House, however has decided that the best
interests of the country require that Ha-
wall be annexed and a majority of the
Senate will reach the same decision this
week.
The fact that in annexing Hawaii by a
joint resolution We are violating the prin-
ciple upon which our government is based
doesn't seem to have any weight with Con-
gress. The people of Hawaii have not
been asked whether or not they want the
identity OF their country destroyed by hav-
ing it annexed to the United States, and
the people of the United States have not
been given an opportunity to say whether
or not they would like to have Hawaii an
nexed. The consent of the people of neither
the United States nor Hawaii has been OBJ
tanned to the annexation scheme. Congress
is acting for the United States In matter
concerning which it is not authorized 10
act, and an oligarchy is acting for the
people of Hawaii
No one who knows anything about the
manner in which the Hawaiian govern
ment got into power pretends that it rep
resents the Hawaiian people. 1t doesn't
represent anybody, except a few adven-
turers in Honolulu. And yet it undertakes
to remove Hawaii from the map as an in
dependent state, and to say what the
future of the Hawaiian people shall be.
And, remarkable as it may seem, Con-
gress is willing 10 annex Hawaii under
such circumstances. The conclusion is al
most irresistible, that if we are so anxious
to acquire territory which.s not absolutely
necessary to us that we are willing to VIC
late the principle upon which our govern
bent is based to do it, we shall not hesitate
long as to what we shall do with the
Philippines and other territory which we
may capture from Spain. The acquiring
of Hawaii, and particularly the manner of
acquiring 1t, viii have the effect of weak
ening whatever feeling we may have that
Ii would not be wise to adopt a policy of
territorial expansion-a policy which
would burden us with a colonial system
and involve us in questions which keep
Europe in a state of unrest.

Hereafter military bands, at least those
attached to the army, must not play the
national airs with fancy variations, nor
tumble them into a medley. The war de
partment has ordered that henceforth
when THE STAR pangled Banner"
America" etc, are played, they must be
played separately, and in the solemn,
straightforward way in which they are
written in the standard forms. The Gov
ernor Of Florida is said TO have complain
ed that some of the bands at Tampa were
putting comic opera flourishes on the ma
tional music, making medleys of the
tunes, and otherwise rendering them so
that they lost much of their simplicity
and grandeur The department at once
agreed with the Southern Governor, and
the order for the protection of the national
music was issued.
