The school system of a country is as much
the product Of national character and condi-
tons its political institutions. So true
is this that even what seem, from theoretical
point OF view. 10 be striking and even radical
defects Of a given educational system are often
found upon closer examination to be among
its best practical features for the simple reason
that they express its adaptation to the special
characteristics limitations Of the society bv
which it is supported. This fact used to be-
and indeed stu is. too much disregarded by
certain educational reformers among us who
have been prone to criticise our own system
not by a standard determined by our National
needs. but by drawn from the systems OF
foreign countries. particularly that of Germany
For this error there is no better corrective than
such a careful study Of German methods In the
light OF German social conditions as that fur
nished by DR.. Bolton. On the other hand tbere
is no educational system that cannot he and
ought not TO DE improved. In fact continuous
reform, corresponding to the constantly dAvel-
oping social and industrial life of the Nation e.
absolutely Indispensable. But 20 such rarorrr
