Machines in Agriculture.

cents "a tine average. To-day machines have
changed conditions. Their use has reduced the
necessary time OF the lauorcr to about thrty.iour
minutes and the cost Of II 10 about TO-. cents.
The wages are, however much butcr now than

For School improvement.

Y y MANY lines besides that of re-
bellion against the tyranny of
Il the arbitrary written oNamina-
tiUns public opinion is awak-
ening to tn" need Of improvements in
the public schools. We Hri notice in
city papers of what County Supeln-
tcndent Xumbro. of Franklin county,
has been saying with ,vigUr ana clear
ness of large prOpuI-i ion of the text
books of today. lu precise lin" with
what Edmund Clarence Stpdman toll!
the Teachers association of Greater.
New York a few weeks ago, Mr.. Xllm-
bro says that the old time books ANA
methods made better sprllcrs and
more of them than those of the pres
ent, and that in grammar the text
books of today are vastly inferior to
those of a generation aEo in helping
the pupil To a mastery OF his own Ian
Guage. Again, on the subject of school
readers Mr.. Zumbro says "thc excel
lent selections of the older books have
been supplanted by a lot of wishy-
washy stun that is positively distastc-
fll to Il sensitive pupil"
AS one of our Philadelphia Contem-
poralies remarks in regard to it, this
Is intelligent and experienced opinion,
deserving Of attention"
There is in some quarters a curious
supelstitiOus feeling that it is rank
treason to critiCsc "our great free
school system In its inception and
.,,lr., l.
on what any other country had then
attempted for all the children in its
domains. Looking across at what Ger
many at least has done for its chill
,drcn, especially in the line of wise and
thorough manual training for the
brain in unson--lookinG also at what
Sweden and Norway are doing in the
same way with the "sloyd" system,
1t is plain enough that we have not
kept up to the IDEAS of the founders
of our public school system. We have
added educational frills and fads in
profusiOn. We have multiplied high
schools with the statement that "the
poor mans children are entitled to
the best" while failing, in almost every
large city, to provide school room
enough in the primary and intermedi-
ate grades for the children who ought
to be fully provided for there. When
compulsory school acts are not only
enacted but efforts made TO enforce
them. then is made doubly evident the
lack of room in the lower grades. Some
cities try 10 make up for it by half
day sessions for two sets of pupils.
Looking back, as County Superin-
tendent Zumbro has been doing, those
who knew the puplic schools of a gen.
Grafton ago, when there were fewer
frills and much less talk and writing
about "child study though much OF
the real, practical thing itself-know
also that what he says about tex,
books and methods Of teaching are cor
rect. What he has especially singled
out, the deterioration of the methods OF
teaching the essentials of the English
tongue, is precisely what the author.
