10 Better CURRICULUM.
Ma@7ceU Plans to Close Elementary
Course at Sirth Year.

In the midst of the controversy to the practical
value or the course of study now In use in the
puohc schools. Superintendent Maxwell has come
forward with a number of suggestions for increas-
ing the value Of the elementary curriculum. He
says:
Manual training (the constructive work. should be
felated more closely to the work of the school and
the environment of the home. The child works
with greater zeal and greater interest when he is
miaKing i .g something which he knows win be of use
things for others use is essential part Of ethical
make It for himself Is if training S GnS to wn9 U6seE6 fan
devotion TO duty,
Dr. Maxwell quotes President Eliot OF Harvard
as saying; Altrusm needs to be cultivated in chill
dren to offset their natural egotism" The way
proposed by DR.. Maxwell is to have the older
classes in the schools make drawing models of
stands and other articles for the lower classes and
to have the manual training high schools do print
ing for the elementary school pupils. At present
the children in the elementary schools are becom-
ing adept in the manufacturing Of simple ma
chinery which is turned over the scientific
teachers for use in the regular school work.
Among DR. Maxwelrs other plans for improving
the school courses is to diminish the amount OF
subject matter taught in geography which is per
haps unnecessarily heavy" His chief suggestion Is
to close the elementary school at the end of
the sixth year, making the present seventh and
eighth years. with the present first high schoo!
year, secondary school years. This plan has long
been under consideration by the educational au-
thorities Some such schools have been established
within the last few months. Dr. Maxwell con-
tinues:
Until the schools are properly equipped with ap-
pllancss for manual training, gymnastics and sci
ence for modern school work, ii Is prepOSterOus
allt ge that this work cannot be accomplished in
New-York schools. It is accomplished wherever
the proper equipment is provided There is much
