There remain three sorts OF knOwl
edge and training that the schoo
ought to promote to marked de
gree. One of these has to do with
conduct in the ordinary social rela
tions. The principles Of practica
ethics, not merely for the sake o.
intellectual perception, but for the
sake of their incorporation into the
very texture of character, should be
one of the foremost concerns OF schoo
life. This fact has come to be very
widely recognized.
Less widely accepted in practice
although now quite generally admit
ted in principle, is the duty Of the
school to play some important part
in fitting the child for membership
in the great producing community
All schools cannot teach the use even
Of the simplest tools, AMI much less,
therefore, can they turn out skilled
craftsmen. But all schools can at
least be so conducted that they do
not positively unfit their scholars for
those very kinds of practical work
by which it is certain that the great
majority must obtain their livings
when their school days are done.
a successful country teacher will
not of necessity turn the district
school into an agricultural college;
but it is true. nevertheless, that the
wise country teacher will 80 train the
boys and girls of the district that
everything they can learn will, in the
most important sense, fit them for
being better farmers, and household
economists.
Finally, it has come to be widely
admitted among teachers and the
friends Of common school education
that, in this country especially, the
school, ought to have a great deal to
do with the important task Of rear
ing young citizens. 1t no longer
needs any argument to secure &C
ceptance for the view that boys and
girls in the schools ought not only to
imbibe high ideals respecting the
institutions of the country, but also
that the spirit Of patriotism should
be encouraged side by side with the
medication Of great deal Of practi-
cal knowledge about the duties and
obligations OF citizenship.-Reriew Of
