'ltion. While not much surprised
that some look at it in that way our
senslhilities are naturally wounded.
We did cherish the hope that in
the main we had the thing dead to
rights.
For good many years thinking
men and women have been ponder
ing the question, What is the mat.
ter of the schools? Every day the
machinery of education is being
improved and elaborated. The
school houses are palaces to what
they were IS years ago; there are
maps, charts, blocks globes, libra
ries and endless other instruments
of enlightenment undreamed of a
generation ago. There are mag
nihcent temples dedicated especially
to teaching teachers how to teach.
There are National associations of
teachers, State and County insti-
tutes, superintendents. professors,
principals, grades, departments, ex-
aminations, certificates, diplom as
and yells enough to raise the dead;
yet, thousands of anxious, dissatis-
fed parents are asking, What is the
matter Of the schools? They are
not talking out loud, because they
are afraid-afraid that they are not
cak able of forming right judgment
afraid that they don't understand
but when William and Mary
come home after IS years of school
ing and William wants to be poet
or a civil service league and Mary
yearns for the higher lite and de-
tests cooking, the minds of parents
are filed with misgivings. Of
course, it is somewhat reassuring to
hear them talk about geometry and
rhetoric, Caesar and Aristotle and
things like that, but it is sorrowful
the way they scorn reading, writing
and arithmetic.
But, to be plain about it, as old
lady Sanderson would say, we may
be not so much awry, after all
The National Educational Associa-
tion seems to have had hunch. At
itslast meeting there was apronounc
ed sentiment, it is said, in favor of
getting back to plain, straightfor-
ward teaching of the elements; that
is, thoroughly grounding children
in reading, writing, spelling arith-
metic and English grammar, and
eliminating the entire generation of
scholastic frills from the public
schools. Let boys and girls get a
good working knowledge of these
fundamentals in the common schools
then if they wish to pursue the
higher education let it be done
outside of the common schools.
That will put the children of all
classes upon as nearly equal footing
as possible. 1t will not prevent
anyone from securing a scientific,
professional or classical education
who has the means to pay for it or
the genius to use it. 1t will afford
the vast majority all the education
al training they will ever need in
practical life, while at the same
time robbing the exceptional few of
no rightful opportunity. May be,
we are all wrong about this, but it
need not surprise you if we voice
the murmurinGs in thousands OF
parental breasts.
