There is good reason for believing that the

powers of protoplasm shown in it's syntheses and
decompositions in reality electrical, and
resemble those produced in eectrolysis by the
action of current. When, for example. an
electric charge is removed from an organic COM
pound. it decomposes and new compounds arise.
We can, therefore. say that those substances will
poison protopIasm which give up part with
their charges easily. Substances which give
up their charges with especial ease are mercury

why Training Has Failed to Produce
Satisfactory Results.

DR.. ]. NJ. Rice, in the Forum.
Why, then, has training failed to give
better account of itself? My answer is that
training has failed to produce better results
because it has not been followed up by a
specific demand for better results. On the
contrary it has been accompanied by a
mandate to despise results. This has arisen
from the fact that the results produced
by the psychological treatment of the child
are supposed to be purely spiritual and in
capable of measurement, and, conversely,
that results which can be demonstrated in
any definite manner must have been pro-
duced by methods that should be avoided.
In other words training has failed because
it has been based on the assumption-which
has not been verified by SUPPLEMENTARY
that certain forms Of pedagogical treatment
are sure to lead to ideal results, in conse-
quence of which the educators Of the new
school have become accustomed to gauge
the success of a teacher from the standpoint
of what she does, while in matters outside
of school success is measured by what is
accomplished. BY reason of this unpracti-
cal stand. the demand has been developing
in the direction of methods and mannerisms
which may or may not contribute TO sue
cess, but which in themselves do not con-
stitute success, and are not even gauge Of
mand, the fundamental issue-actual accom-
pishment-has become entirely submerged.
In accordance with the trend Of the times.
il has become the custom to call a teacher
successful if her methods are in the latest
style, If her manners are pleasant, and IL
her pupils show interest in the current
lesson; while teacher is placed on "A lower
plane if she does not come up TO all these
requirements. But this position is untena-
BILE. One who makes the impression that
she is all that a successful teacher ought
to be may be a successful teacher in fact
or she may be lacking in certain essential
elements involved in good teaching, and
fail to accomplish much in the end. On
the other hand, teacher who does not make
a favorable impression may in fact be a
| poor teacher, but not necessarily so, for she
| may be possessed of just those qualities
which are essential TO success, and may
| therefore accomplish far more than her
| more brilliant colleague.
The current method OF training having
| failed by reason of a false standard OF
measuring success, the remedy lies in sub
stituting FOR that standard a more scien-
| tifc one. The current standard calls for an
/ estimate of success by what the teacher
| does and the standard now suggested will
| cali for judgment by what she accomplishes
| OF course, such a radical change I'm the
standard would necessarily carry with il
| not only change in demand. but a change
| in our conception OF training, which would
| have TO be built up In the direction OF de-
| veloping the power TO achieve results. But

VIEWS OF a LEADING SOUTHERN
PAPER.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat makes
a recent statement of Representative
Crumpacker a text for an editorial con-
demning Senator Germans opposition to
the Panama canal treaty. Mr.. Crumpacker,
commenting ON the incapacity of the Demo-
cratic party for practical craftsmanship,
said that when it finally obtained control
of the government it demonstrated that
party that has been out of power so long
and has acquired these chronic habits Of
opposition and obstruction. has no fitness
or capacity to carry on and dispatch the

charge. the Times Democrat confesses
that the Democratic party has made some
mistakes in the past, and thinks perhaps
Mr.. Crumpacker's remark was inspired by
