PHYSICAL INSTRUCTOR FOR GIRLS PHES' RIDES
EXERCTsD FOR ZACH PUPIL
Superintendent Gilbert Of the Newark public
schools thoughtfully read in The Tribune ycster-
day what Superintendent John Jasper of the Bor
oughs OF Manhattan and The Bronx. said on the
subject of overstudy in the public schools. Mr.
Gilbert said to a Tribune correspondent:
"Mr. Jasper is right IN saying that the curriculum
Of our public schools looks harder than Il Is. and
in what he further says about the leeway given.
But bringing the public school system, with
what means are at command to a system that VIII
recognize indivdualism and treat children accord
ing to their mental and physical capacities.
Except in the High School," said Mr.. Gilbert" we
have no complaints Of the i'll effect Of overstudy,
and there have been some few cases among girls.
But there has been introduced new system which
does away with the former restriction OF fixed
period for all pupils and allows pupil to remain
in school for years, II necessary TO his or her
mental development. If girl fails TO graduate
this year she can keep year after year until
she acquires enough mentally to pass the final eX-
animation.
Then again. the great trouble has been the lack
of proper physical exercise for girls We have
lately provided the High School. under charge OF
Miss McNary, systematic plan of exercise with
the features Of play This includes basketball and
other physical exercises that combine pleasing d.

Gated. ! want to ndiyidualize each child and when
this Is done there will be danger OF overstudY.
We approach nearly to It with classes OF forty:
With the much larger classes formerly taught
there was no chance for teacher to make any
difference in the tuition OF the children All had to
be treated almost alike" Mr.. Gilbert said that
there had been complaint about overstudy in the
case of boys in the High School.
