express purpose Of annihilating the

is to pledge to the farmers dollar

archs In these days are compelled to
defer to the popular will in all their
undertakings. 1t is no longer possible
for crown wearer to consult his own
prejudices and ambitions solely. The
people, who fight the battles as well as
pay for them, have a strong incentive
to avert wars and their wishes are
coming to have a more and more de-
cisive influence as the years pass. No
monarch, not even the Czar of abso-
lutist Russia, is the state in this day in
the sense that older Bourbon, Tudor or
Hohenzollern kings were. Thus peace

tions to degree never before shown

This tragic occurrence does not stand

physician and mental powers to the

regarded as an error. That fact does
not, however, detract from the men,

The scientific tests Of child capacity
the Chicago Board Of Education, of
which DIR. w. S. Christopher is chair
man, have yielded results that fully
sustain the contention that school
boards can no longer afford to ignore
the connection between a child's intel
lectuality and his physical condition.
1t has been the practice Of the schools
from the time of their origin to jam all
the children of certain age of both
sexes through a fixed and infexib.e
course Of study, regardless Of their diff
fering capacities or physical powers Of
endurance. The investigations conduct
ed by DR.. Christopher's committee tend
to confirm the opinion Of many of our
leading educators that school children
should be graded according to physical
characteristics and mental capabilities
instead Of according to age. The re-
suits Of these tests also raise the ques-
ton as to whether school authorities
are not committing a grave blunder in
requiring girls to carry in the school
work, after certain age, the same
burdens that are put upon boys of the
same age. In the experiments with
the ergograph, or child fatigue testing
machine, it was found that the girl of
16 or II had far less endurance power
than the boy of the same age, while
from to years of age the endurance
power Of the girl was the same as that
Of the boy. It was also clearly demon
strated that height and weight were i'm
portant factors In determining the men,
tai capacity Of child. A child Of
healthful intellectual capacity was
found to be Of normal weight for its
age. While the conditions under which
the common school system is maintain
ed obviously to preclude the adoption
Of separate courses Of study exactly
suited to each individual capacity, it is
manifestly the duty of school boards
to modify, so far as possible, the sys-
TENS of grading so as to get into one
grade the children who are best fitted
to carry on the work Of that grade, re-
gardless Of their ages.
The experiments of DR.. Christopher
are therefore in the right direction, and
their results can not fail to reveal rad
ical errors in our system of public edu-
cation, the greatest defect Of which is
it's failure to take proper account Of
the differing capacities of children Of
the same age.
