The beautiful and wide avenue now being
opened by the Board of Public Works upon
the recommendation of Secretary Hunt
from the Teatro to Puerta TERRA appears to
be destined to have its lines very much spoil
ed by the big hump caused by the track Of
the electric tramway which crosses it and
which, it seems, cannot be changed as the
track nearly is laid directly upon the big
water main through which the city receives
its supply of water.
The engineers Of the municipal council
certainly should and can introduce a chan.
&c in the track upon oth,r lines, not only
for the better Improvement of the streets
in that locality, but also to avoid that
great destructor of water pipe, called
"electrolosis" which alaoays appears where
conductors of electricity are laid adjacent to
cast iron pipe without proper insulation and
protection, and which will destroy the pipe
in very short time especially in wet
ground.

In addition to the expansions already
indicated, there must also be fitting
recognition of the necessity of manual
training in it's various phases and appli-
cations. In all such training the spe-
cific purpose must be kept constantly in
view of cultivating and perfecting the
manual powers so that they may become
capable of giving expression to the
conceptions Of the mind and may work
in complete harmony with it. 1t is
doubtful if the public school ever has a
right to give technical training with the
avowed purpose of fitting young people
to earn a living, that is-to assume the
functions of trade and professional
schools.
The present demand for commercial
courses may be justified so far as it con-
templates general commercial educa-
ton, which shall comprise the study of
the great principles which inspire and
underlie commercial activity, and the
natural phenomena which make such
activity possible. But when business
men turn to the public schools for stenog-
raphers,I. skilled accountants, or men
specifically trained for any branch of
business life, it is well to stop and in
quire whether we are not transcending
the just and legitimate functions of the
free school.
It may be asserted with authority that
the charge which is echoing through
the country today that the schools unfit
boys for business life, is not well
founded. In some specific instances it
may be true, but the work of the school
in general cannot unfit a boy for any
place in life, unless it places before
him unworthy ideals, and causes him to
look upon honest labor with contempt.
This has not been done. But it must
also be said that the schools have never
yet attempted to fit boys specifically for
business life, and they probably never
will.
This first general criticism Of the pub
lie schools is being more and more
widely studied, and strenuous efforts are
being put forth to meet it's demands.
The next ten years will no doubt wit
ness revolution along these lines,
which will bring the schools more per-
fectly into harmony with their life en-
vironment'
Moral Training.
The second general criticism is diff
cult to formulate, and more uncertain
in it's deductions, yet none the less fun
damental in it's nature. In the reaction
against religious teaching in the
public schools, the process of seculariza-
tion has gone so far as practically to
eliminate all systematic moral training,

an uncompromising opponent of all vul-
garity and false scholasticism.
Constructive Criticism.

Leaving this destructive criticism be-
hind, there is certain line of construc-
tive criticism, if the term may be used,
which the schools must bear if they
would be true to their most binding OBJ
legations.
Perhaps the most important change,
which the times demand, is to be found
in reconstruction of educational ideals,
so that they shall be less exclusively
scholastic and more humanitarian in
their character. In the past the schools
have given too much attention to mere
scholasticism. Lessons from books and
recitations upon them have too often
made up the sum total of school exer-
cises. Intellectual power and informa-
ton may thus be obtained, but the pupil
cannot thereby be brought into full ac-
quaintance or harmony with his social
surroundings, or be put into complete
possession Of all his powers. This is
one of the two serious criticisms which
may be justly made against the public
school of today, and it is worthy of
most careful consideration.
Under the old regime the pupil went
out into the world with fairly good
knowledge of arithmetic, geography,
grammar, and kindred subjects. He
sometimes increased his knowledge and
mental power by pursuing an advanced
in %I,o 40
high school, which is today Offering as
broad and thorough instruction as did
the colleges Of twenty five years ago, is
a comparatively recent institution. But
in spite of all the educational advan-
tages at his command, he went out into
the world without specific kind of
training, which American citizenship
might reasonably expect him to have.
His hands were not trained to give fit
ting expression to the conceptions of his
brain. A common humanity demands
that this be done. Of the constitution
and political methods of his native land
he had learned but little, and that little
had been cleaned from books and not
from an actual study of the life con-
ditions by which he was surrounded.
He had read of elections, courts, legis-
lative bodies, etc., but as far as the
school was concerned, they still re-
mained unfamiliar distractions, for he
had never studied their actual work
ings He might have read of strikes
and labor agitations in the papers, but
the schools had never taught him to in
vestigate the delicate relations of capi-
tai and labor, and to arrive at fair un-
derstanding of them. And this, in
spite of the fact that he might sometime
be called upon to play an important
part in the final adjustment of this
great economic question.

of investigation, many of the demons
of unrest, which so sorely afflict society,
would find their occupation gone, and
distrust and discomfort would yield to
confidence and peace. Not only is this
true, but it is safe to say that the grave
problems, which are pressing for solu-
ton, will never be finally and salts
factorily settled, until the public school
recognizes it's responsibility in this di-
rection and rises to meet it.
Public Schools Independent of Colleges.
In order to render effective service
here two things seem to be necessary.
The first is that all public schools cease
to regard themselves specifically as
feeders for higher institutions. No pub
lie school has the right to make itself
college, preparatory school. Such
standard narrows it's field of work, re-
stricts it's life, and destroys it's inde-
pendence. 1t becomes at once the crea-
ture of the college, dependent upon it's
regulations, and loses sight of it's broad
er and nobler mission. The legitimate
work which the peculiar mission of the
public school sets before it, is precisely
the work which should best fit it's stu
dents for more advanced studies, and
the colleges themselves will come out
into larger life when they recognize
the essential unity Of educational aims
and processes, as they surely will if the
public school asserts it's independence.
Economic Training.
Having divorced themselves from the
preparatory idea the schools must next
remodel their programs so as to include
an adequate training in the great politi-
cal, social, and economic SUBJECTS, which
make up SO large part of the interest
and concern of the American citizen of
today.
This is not place to exploit methods
and theories. It is therefore enough to
say that these subjects cannot be taught
entirely or mainly from textbooks. The
laboratory method which has been so
successfully applied in modern science
work, must also be used here. In these
broad fields of research there is the most
magnificent opportunity for the effective
application of laboratory methods that
is to be found in the whole range of sci
entific investigation. Such work will
not only produce larger and more
practical knowledge than can be drawn
from books, but it will bring children
into living, energizing contact with the
affairs of real life, which will awaken
their interest and quicken their mental
powers as no book study can possibly do.
