tons. The average percentage of
correct answers in both subjects
was as follows: 1916, arithmetic,
29.4; spelling 4O.6; 1905, arithmetic
65.5; spelling 51.2. The examination
in 1906 was so managed That ne Their
pupils nor teacher knew its object,
and none Of them had any knowledge
Of the questions previous to the ex-

Sists Of 81 weeks of actual working
time, The school day is So hours in
length. The pupil accordingly is in
school $40 hours year and 672O
hours in the years of his primary
and grammar schol life. Really less
than this for the pupils in the pri-
mary schools are in attendance
much less than 51z hours a day. But
We have failed to consider this fact
in the other cases and so we. shall
call our school year $40 hours. Let
us now compare this with the school
year Of 1916 and of 1905 in Spring
field. As given above the figures are:
1916, 1920 hours, 1905 1000 hours.
The pupil of 1S4a had an advantage
Of $50 hours a year or in the eight
years nearly of our school years.
The pupil in Springfield to-day has an
advantage of 100 hours a year, or in
the eight years one and a half of our
years. The pupil in the Springfield
school of to-day has practically the
same course of study as the pupil in
the Pensacola schools. Now | had
some curiosity to know what showing
the pupils in the 8th grade of the
Pensacola schools would make taking
this same examination. Accordingly
on May S0th without giving the pupils
or the teachers any notice of the pur-
pose of the examination | gave them
these questions which the pupils of
1916 had taken and which the same
grade of pupils had taken in 1905 at
Springfield. The pupils had never
seen the questions before nor had
the teachers. The time for the arith-i
metic was about one hour and for the
spelling about twenty minutes. Here
are the results: Arithmetic, 65.5;
5S.5.

sources Of error there might be in
making the comparison. A fruitful
source of error in any other
subjects than arithmetic or spelTngI
might be the different standards used
in working the papers. And errors
of this sort might reasonably come
into the working of papers in spellingI

We often hear it asserted that our
schools are much less efficient to-day
t-an they We're in. the days of our
grandfarhers. Upon just what these
assertions are based / have never
been abla 10 determine; except that
e. seems 10 be characteristic Of hui
nan nature 10 look back to the days
Of oar father" with the greatest ven
Grafton. The good days of our ia
Tiers" is not. by any means, a phrase
which has been coined within our
own day. but il has been in use. no
doubt. ever since there were such
5avs TO look back to. In whatever
literature YOU may read, or in what
ever age. YOU are likely to run across
expressions which indicate this atti-
tUle of yeneratiOn on the part Of the
writer or Of his contemporaries for
The DAYS that have gone before.
Now il appears to me that the atti-
tude on the part Of one generation
for The days of their fathers may at
least partly account for the persis-
tent assertions that our fathers and
Srand-fathers were much better
taught than the children Of to-day.
And Yet there are some other consid-
eratiOns which may account for the
current belief that in at least some
respects our schools are inferior ID
he schools of forty or fifty years
ago. One Of these considerations is
he introduction Of the sO-called fads
into the schools and the giving cor
respondingly less attention to the
three RS. Many persons believe that
The children OF to-day spell poorly
ana CIPHER poorly simply because
they waste" so much of time with
manual training, drawing, etc. An
cher consideration bringing possibly
not few people to believe our
SCOOPS are inferior is shortened
school hours. Formerly it was
thought that a child should spend as
much time at his books as MS IA
ter spent at his work. And so
Taa.ever changes have been made il
orr schools there have been those
who stood by and declared against
me wisdom Of such changes.
But to whatever this unfavorable
comparison Of the education of to-day
with the education of one or two gen
cations back may be due II is nev-
ertheleSs true that no one has had
any real basis for comparison: fo,.
The only means Of making a reason
able comparison is through sta
usticS ans heretofore such statistics
have not been at hand. Forum

lutely correct and there was no doubt
of it, and in arithmetic only if there
were no mistake whatever in the
process or in the result. For in
stance the omission Of the dollar mark
in an answer otherwise correct caus
ed the pupil to receive no credit on
that example. The marking in
Springfield could not have been more
strict than this. Below | tabulate
the figures for easy comparison. The
first marks are arithmetic, the second
spelling:
Springfield. Springfield. Pensacola.
1916 1905 1906
29,4. 4O.6 65.5. 51.2 65.5. 5S.5
It will be observed that the Pensa-
cola pupils made exactly the same
grade in arithmetic as was made by
the Springfield pupils last year. In
making the average l went over the
figures carefully the second time to
discover any possible error That
they are the same is merely a coin
cidence, and not a mistake in copying
or a typographical error. 1t would
be observed that the children in
Pensacola to-day are much better
spoilers than were the children in
Springfield in 1916 and considerably
better than the children in Spring
field in 1905. The questions were
given to the whole grade, 40 pupils,
and no papers were left out of con-
sideration. The lowest mark made
was .15 and the highest 100. The
highest mark was made by a girl and
the lowest by a boy. But the four
teen boys of the class made an aver
age of 81 as against an average Of
SIS for the girls.
In arithmetic the pupils found none
of the examples too difficult to al
tempt In fact they succeeded best
with those presenting the greatest
difficulty. Most of the incorrect an
swers given were for the third and
fourth examples and in this case not
because the pupil did, not know how
to solve the problem but because he
did not know how many feet in a mile
or how many acres in a square mile.
Strange to say some half dozen pu-
pills failed on the first example, and
one or two discovered that the third
of rs IL is 526 IL! And yet their
percentage of correct answers is
more than double that of 1916. Are
we justified then in concluding that
our schools are better than were the
schools of 1916? Are We justified in
believing that the three RS are bet
ter taught to-day than they were for
merly?If we should grant that spell
ing and arithmetic are better taught
to-day than in the days Of our grand
fathers could We then infer that they
are better taught because of the man
ual training and drawing and the ma
ture study and because of the short
ened hours, or would we be better
justified in concluding that they are
better taught in spite of these things?
If the improvement in our schools
has come largely in and through the
introduction of the so-called fads, and
not in spite of them Shall we not ex-
pect in the future to see in every pub
lie school manual training, domestic
science, the gymnasium, and the
both?
