SCHOOL COURSE REVISED.
'Fads" GiUe Way-Birch II fter
School Hours.

A new course of study for the elementary
schools adopted yesterday afternoon by the
Board of Education The matter had been
under advisement for long time. Recent crit
icism of the present course caused the board to
refer this matter to the committee on studies
and textbooks. The recommendations Of this
committee were adopted yesterday.
The OF study is considered by the
members of the Board of Education to be far
more practical than the one now being fol-
lowed Certain fads have been eliminated, and
some of the studies which have been classed by
some people as unessentfaI have been limited
Latin and stenography have been taken from
the new course, owing to the small demand for
such studies and Spanish substituted as an
elective study. Civics will be taught under the
new course two years earlier than in the old
course.
A new subject has been added to the course
to be taught in Grade T. This study will be
known as commercial relations of America with
European nations" The study of geography
will be made commercial to a large degree. The
industrial and commercial development Of
America compared with other nations will be
feature of this study
The new course was adopted without any
criticism by any OF the members Of the board.
1t was expected that some discussion would be
caused by the reports of the committee by
laws to which the matter of Judge Olmsted in
committing two boys to the custody Of school
principals referred. The majority Of the
committee reported that, If teacher principal
should accept such responsibility as acting
guardian for a wayward boy, under no
ditions could such person resort to corporal
punishment in a schoohouse or during school
hours. Further than that, the majority of the
committee believed that the matter did not come
within the scope of the Board of Education.
The minority report stated that this matter
IF thn Pno vi of |dft1c t4rr,
because If teachers or principals should
cept the responsibility of acting guardians
they do so as individuals and not employees
or officers of the school system, and that such
guardian has a, right after school hours to in
1ict corporal punishment. The minority mem
bers of the committee favor corporal punishment
for all unruly school children.

Every public school," she said, should have
two rooms set apart, for the children who
through illness or some other temporary cause
fall behind In some one particular, and the other
for deficient backward children.
1--WE ought to avoid the stigma Of the special
institution long We should give
the best training possible in the public schools

SPECIAL RULES.

There is an old adage, seldom mentioned now
adays which says that Little children should
be seen and not heard" In the days of its su-
premacy children were treated entirely sub
orlinate to their elders and had very few
Aehts which these elders were bound TO re-
spect. Now, the contrary, in too many other
wise well regulated homes. the baby from the
time he is "abe to sit up and take notice" sees
that all the grown-ups dancing attendance
on him and ready to make any sacrifice of per-
sonal comfort to crafty him. He finds that In
stead of being the least respected member Of
the family he is the most respected, and he
takes advantage of his position. Naturally, this
attitude is fatal to obedience. and without obe-
dience no child be properly controlled The
mother must have not Only the love but also
the respect of her child in order to discipline
him successfully. She must teach him the respect
due to age, and, aside from that he must learn
to respect her on the ground of superior wis
dom and good conduct. He must look UP to
her. and when he strives to initiate her, he
surely will, the result should be the formation
of good habits.
To take up the specific instances mentioned
by your correspondent, for example. If the
child whines first make sure that he is not i'm
itating any member of the family. Then call
his attention to the fact that others do not
speak in whine, and encourage him to speak
as you do. Children love to initiate their elders
as most of their games bear testimony.
In the choice of food. also. children in
ruenced by the actions of their elders who
tnoughtlessly say IN the childs presence thai
they do not like such and such a thing and
forthwith the child inagines that he does not
like 1t either Or at the ether extreme are the
children who have been encouraged from their
babyhood to eat everything, and who at the age
Of five or six have wholly perverted tastes. and
must be taught, however much against their
WILL to like a few wholesome articles IL they
are to get proper nourishment.
The habit Of untruthfulness, IL by that is
meant actual deceit denial Of facts is, OF
course, q very serious matter. and most neces-
sary to be rooted out, but the propensity which
small children have for relating marvellous do
ings as their own, is merely stage Iii their de-
velopment Tell or read them fairy stories and
see IL they will not furnish material which,
while II eatshes the child's craving for tho
marvellous, cannot deceive any to Its
truth.
The most important points In disciplining may
perhaps be formulated In some such way as the
following:
First-To furnish an example that the child
can safely initiate
Second-To expend the time and attention
which the matter warrants, never passing over
an offence simply because you are busy do
not want to be bothered. especially II you have
already told the child that he Is to be pun
ished.
Third-To divert the child's mind often
