be domestic service; that it is honorable
for girl to make her living in that way
and that the state owes it as much to the
girl as to the boy to put her in the posses
sion of such skill will enable her to
serve most usefully and most profitably?"
81 am scarcely prepared to answer the
question. 1t is true that boys and girls
must seek employment. must hire out but
1t is at least somewhat contrary to the true
educational spirit to train them for that
purpose. The ultimate object in an educa-
ton is to make the individual his own mas
ter, to employ others, not to be employed,
and while cannot change the social order
we do not like to concede tQS much. Be-
sides. the line must be drawn somewhere;

what of drawing and music?"
Both are essential standard studies. and
the loss or neglect of either in the educa.
ton OF the child would be a matter of pro-
found regret. l do not feel that defense
of these studies is at all necessary. II
either of these are fads, then I have been so
progressive and old-fashioned that l have
not reached that point where they are even
discussed as subjects superfuous or orna-
mental and they have entered into and
formed a part of my work for thirty years."
"In brief, then. what is your idea of
course of study"
THAT there are certain essential branches
of study, chief among which is reading. in
Guiding history and literature Indeed, l
am much of Carlyle's opinion, viz: That all
that any university or college can do for
you is to teach you to read. The Greeks
taught reading. music, drawing and rever-
ence for the gods, and the Athenian youth
was splendidly educated. Along these es-
sential lines of study the pupil should be
instructed with great thoroughness and ex-
actness. There is so much inviting, so much
within reach, that sometimes, with true
American spirit we attempt too much and
get but little. I am not welded to three
RS, but 1 would not by attempting to get
everything lose-even the three RS"
What in your opinion, should be the rela-
ton of the high school to Che university"

cussion of the philosophy of a course Of study
at this time; but the course arranged for any

1T was a mercy to both of us, however,

minutes the air in the room was dense.

questions"
''WeH low are the fads' prospecting in
our echcols?"
There are no fadsNin the school system
at present" replied Mr. Smith, 'and posi-
bly, never have been. There is very gem
eraI mis0R apprehension touching this subject.
II any fads' xist now or have existed in
the past n our schools. they were to be
found. possibly, in the methods of teaching,
and not in any branch of study belonging
to the curriculum"
'Is not manual training regarded by many
intelligent persons as "a fad?
1T may be so. but there is no warrant
or justification for any such opinion. Man
ual training long ago passed the experimental
stage and has been too strongly and too
firmly grated upon the best SchOOl SYSTEMS
of the world to be called in question by any
intelligent, progressive community in Amer
lea today. l have been interested in the
subject for more than twenty years, and
have visited and examined into the workings
OF our best manual training schools, and
while abroad in 1891 personally acquainted
myself with the work of such schools in
London, Paris and Germany to a limited
extent it is true, because my stay was
very short in those places, but what l saw
only confirmed my previous opinion. In pub
lie addresses and in communications to the
press before and since | have warmly de-
Tended that feature of our school system,
and have at no time changed my opinion"
Does not the argument in favor of man
ual training hold with even greater force in
favor of domestic economy in our schools?'
4 think not. Too much cannot be said
in favor of domestic duties. Young ladies
should understand all about sewing, cooking,
weaving, etc Undoubtedly homes would be
brighter and better if all those accomplish
ments were possessed by the ladies of the
community. But the school is only one of
three sources Of the education Of the child.
The home should be far more important
and effective than the school can ever hope
10 be- the mother far more influential than
the teacher. the father more powerful in
shaping or directing his child's life work
than school officers. and l believe that it
is wise to leave education in the matter OF
domestic economy to the home"

a boy in an Independent position, a position
in which he can find that which is best with
in him, and make the most OF It, Is 1t not

attention at the same time to the hardship
that a sweeping change would infiict upon
the people, stating that my experience had
always been that people under the most IA
Voraple circumstances found the purchase Of
DOCKS burdensome at the beginning Of the
year, and that felt 1t unwise to advise too
many changes. There was nothing, nor could
nave been anything in their statements that
implied that good work could not be &C
compllshed with the books all had. The OBJ
serVation and experience of a superlntend-
ent not only In his own city, but In many
cltles should enable him to know what books
are most highly esteemed and most prohta-
Day used, and he gets this knowledge from
the teachers He should seek to know and
should duly weigh the expressions OF prefer
ence by his teachers. Respecting the right
OF an individual teacher to choose, please al
low me to quote from my remarks before the
general assembly of teachers Saturday,
Sept. 10:
l believe fully in the individual and as
sent to the declaration that any other than
individual effort and influence are valueless.
But let us make mistake in respect to
individuality. L have heard primary teach
er say: May / not select the books l want,
those that can do the best work WITH" And
another say with some heat and indignation:
HAS not the teacher good judgment and
as good right as the common workman who
selects his own tools for his work. ?" To both
OF these We say no. You are part Of a
system where uniformity and plan are nee
essary and must accommodate yourself to ex-
listing conditions. II the workman whom you
cite were to enter a great establishment
moved by one system of machinery and were
to find fault with the machinery and appli-
ances. and were to insist that his ideas and
knowledge were superior to the owners and
hot ha
self to use the obsolete and old-fashioned,
non-productive implements, but must needs
choose his own, and bring them in to the con-
fusion of all the rest he might be commend
ed for his independence and skill but would
be advised that his services were not needed
in that establishment. He would doubtless
be more useful In some other place" How
ever, 1 fear that I talking in vein of
more serious seeming than l intend. These
suggestions are made not to correct a con-
dition, but rather to answer questions and in
timations that now and then present them
selves"
"And coordination and correlation?" sug-
gested the reporter.
Eyes, they are all right. No course Of study
Is worthy the name that does not give due
weight and attention to their Importance"
Very good. The teachers who, through the
anxieties and depressions and sacrifices of
the past few years have borne themselves so
well, enter upon the present year hopeful,
earnest, optimistic with their confidence in
human nature and in the love of the St.
Paul people for their most valued institution
mistaken. Their work will succeed"
