Reform i'm Education.
ByProfessor Eliot, President of Harvard University

ByProfessor Eliot, President of Harvard University
\E all know that there is no real line between the elementary and
49, secondary schools, neither is there q definite distinction between
"a II the secondary school and the colleges. The whole process should
n wv 1 be one.
But there is an epoch-a period at which the chlds character
H-- is determined. and this is based on natural history, for the de-
\ SSSS$$ yelopment of the child has in it just Is much natural history as
ISSSSSSk the growth of the flower of the field.
~ l believe that the line is this, and that it is the only line
know of in the whole process of education; it is the age when
the child had best go away from its home for its education. Our country has
xound that the moral character of its youth has been pretty thoroughly de-
welcomed at the q Of eighteen. That age is q good on to take the child away
from home.
Don't W know what changes really need % be made? The change is in
The order of the subjects taught int the High School and the order of all the
subjects from the ages of six to eighteen. Don't We know that the High
School to-day is positively bad; that the study Of languages is erroneous:
ANY child of nine can master any domestic or foreign language, and so also
a observation subject such as botany. Yet the study of these subjects is de-
fered to the age of fourteen. We are beginning to get the observation
studies down into the primary grades, but We have got to get them there
more than they now are.
Every child in the whole country ought to have a chance to attack the
Language and observation studies. The hindrance to this system lies in the
fact that certain studies ire held back for High School study. Increasing
the High School courseto six years would De 4 distinct help

The Uses Of Corporations.
By Charles A. Conant.

HE discovery was made long before our time that q piece of
property or a new enterprise could be given mobility and d-
visibility by putting the title of its ownership into transferable
shares. The creation of share companies enables the small
capital Of individuals to be gathered into the large funds nee
essary to build factories and railways. 1t divides the risk Of
an undertaking among many persons. and places the enter
prise beyond the accidents of a single human existence by
