PUTTING THEM IN THEIR. PLACE

PUTTING THEM IN THEIR. PLACE
We are glad to see a movement in
Minneapolis toward putting bump
tious educational authorities of that
city in their place. Too long altogether
has it been assumed that the boys and
girls of this country went to public
schools, high schools and universities
to be governed instead of to rule. We
have disregarded the new obligation,
almost paramount in this day, ana
failed in some particulars to reverse
the old commandment and say, "par-
ents, obey your children" Educational
authorities have actually presumed to
map out courses of study, to expect
recitation and absurdly to dictate that
pupils would come prepared to recite
their lessons. All this is going to be
changed for a new and better way.
A superintendent of instruction in
Minneapolis is said to have issued
formal notice to teachers in the high
school that they must not advise or
influence pupils as to the courses they
shall take. Now this is getting on.
1t is an extension downward of the ad-
mirable system followed in the col
leges and universities of the. country
| to great extent. These wise people
discovered some time ago that not only
the senior and the junior, but the
sophomore and the despised freshman
knew much more than the entire
faculty. They therefore turned over
to crude boyhood the most important
task of selecting a course of study 1t
is now, happily, possible for youth to
pick out electives that it thinks easiest
to master, or those taught by profess
sors who are renownedly "easy," or
those whose recitation hours are fixed
at such times as will enable them to
see all the ball games. 1t is a vast
improvement upon the old system,
when men whose lives have been spent
in educational work fixed courses of
study and expected youth to conform
to them. We are getting results from
it in universal sloppiness that bids
fair to become a national character
istic
1t is manifestly unfair that advan-
tages like these should be confined to
universities. If the principle is right,
it should be extended. BY all means
let us let the high schools and then
the grade schools follow suit. We may
expect everywhere to find boards OF
education forbidding teachers to ad-
wise pupils. or pupils to consult with
the teachers, who are really so much
their intellectual interiors. We shall
have courses of study arranged on the
democratic system, the pupils holding
a mass meeting and deciding what
subjects will be. taken up and what
left. Indeed, we may look far enough
ahead to anticipate the glad day when
the very tots in our kindergartens
shall meet to elect their own teachers
and to inform them what plays and
games shall be permitted and what ta-
booed
In all this topsy- turvy world of ours
and the curious times in which we live.
educational interests seem to have suf-
fered most of all from the unbalancing
of judgment. Instructors and other
educational authorities are fast being
put in their place, and raw and callow
youth sits in the seat of command.
Some old fashioned people wonder what
the end of this sort of thing will be.

the chamber, but he is becoming very old
and shows disposition to relinquish
many of his former activities. Senator
Aldrich has been away most of the win
ter, and has been assailed much in Rhode
Island and elsewhere. He is a very able
and resourceful man, and has been very
successful as a Senate leader.
Senator Hale has relinquished none OF
his watehfulness. No man attends upon
the work of the Senate more diligently
than he. His prestige has constantly
increase. The sentiment of his colleagues
is stronger than ever that he is safe man
to follow. One day at the recent extra
session of the Senate Mr.. Spooner,
the brightest awyer in he Senate, emerged
from Mr.. Hale's room, where he had been
for consultation.
'Ah," said he, noddnIg towards the
inner room, where he had left the Maine
senator, "there's wise old head in there"
More and more it is coming to be said
that the leaders of the Senate are Hale and
Aldrich or Aldrich and Hale, as different
people choose to put it. There will be an
interesting siludEio1l III the next congress
as to whether people viii say most Hale
and Aldrieh or Aldrich and Hale. In the
Senate as in the House, the leaders on the
appropriations committee are dominating
more and more in the general leadership.
The House chairman of appropriations
has already completely dominated the
chairman OF ways and means because the
growth of annual appropriations has come
to be so great that the careful considera-
ton of appropriations has come to be far
and away the most important.
III Senator Hale has had a speciality in
legislation it has been appropriations.
His power in that field is hardly second to
that of the chairman, Mr.. Allison. They
have touched elbows many years, and
work together in the most complete ae-
cord. Then his own committee controls
naval appropriations, come to be of great
Importance, and all in all he occupies
most satisfactory position with reference
to Senate leadership.
