EDUCATIONAL
Future of the Public School.

Future of the Public School.
DR.. Talcott Williams. the editor and
critic of Philadelphia, takes the ground
in the last issue of Charities that the
public school is the natural link Great
ed by society between the community
and the home and that the process has
already begun which will gradually
transfer to the school all training which
calls for special equipment and leave
to the home the influence Of mother
love and father desire, which will be all
the stronger just in proportion that the
time Of the parents is not engrossed in
physical drudgery or educational rou-
tine. The first conception of the school
was merely a place to acquire knowl-
edge, while the arts of life We're taught
in the home, but nothing could prevent
the inevitable change, and DR.. Williams
foresees that in few years the head
Of large school, whether in the city
or In the country, will be aided not
merely by teachers, but by what are
now known as settlement aids-namely,
household visitors, visiting nurses, So
cial organizations, dance halls, libra
rles. lecture courses, gymnasiums, etc,
much of which now exists in embryo
in many progressive schools.
