'sWe have today great many more
elective courses of study than we need,
and we have multiplied them without
any definite principle or clear under
standing of the purpose for which the
elective system exists. It's true object
is to find out what lines of work boy
is good for. To do this it is not neces-
sary to have as many different studies
as there are different kinds of human
interest. 1t is not true that each pupil
can be appealed to by some one sub
ject and that one only. There are three
well defined types Of mind-the scien-
the, the literary and the practical. If
you have arranged your courses so that
you can find out to which Of these
types pupil belon1 and teach him
certain subjects by method that suits
him, you have done all that is needed.
The work OF the school will be more
efficiently and economically accom-
plished IL this adaptation Is made with
q few subjects instead Of a great
