easily and quickly accomplished I'M
der proper teaching with any but
mentally defective children,-there
should be, l believe, opportunity for
greater variety Of school occupations.
The chance for choice Of studies now
possible in our colleges, and our best
high schools, must in some form ex-
tend downward into the elementary
school. At present the work of the
first eight years, especially the last
four years, is too bookish, too literary,
TO distant from the interests of many
to be thoroughly attractive to any but
those who show a tendency to become
book-Worms. The modern grade work
is not happily adjusted to the needs
of the physically active child, and the
physically active child is the FREEDOM
inant type in America
Many Children Drop Out.
I'VE are naturally an action-loying
people, rather than study-loying peo-
pie. This fact we have been slow to
take account of in our school system.
The result is in many ways disas-
trous. For instance recent statistics
fran the Chicago schools show that
there are two and half times as
many children in the first and second
grades as there are in the seventh
and eighth. This fact is not TO be eX-
planned as the result of a single cause,
but I have no question that much the
most potent cause of all is the failure
of the system to meet the needs, at
least to satisfy the interests, of the
children.

STATE SUPERINTENDENT HAS A
PROPOSAL FOR MORE PRAc-
TICAL COURSE.
WOULD RETAIN CHILDREN WHO
DROP OUT BEFORE REACH
ING HIGH SCHOOL.
MANY CEASE THEIR EDUCATION
MERELY THROUGH LACK
OF INTEREST.

As a means of retaining in school
the throngs Of children who annually
drop out Of the grades under the high
scool, State Superintendent G. P. Cary
advocates among other things the es-
Establishment Of trade schools. Presi-
dent Eliot of Harvard university, who
recently spoke here, indicated a be-
lief that the interest and inclination
Of the child ought not to be a deter
mining factor in making the course of
study for the pupils, and this express
sion by the eminent eastern educator
was suggested to superintendent Cary.
The state superintendent, in stating
some slight disagreement with Presi-
dent Eliot, touches upon the import
ant subject of keeping the children IL
the schools and counteracting the
really alarming tendency Of children
to drop out the schools in the two
or three grades just beneath the high
school
'President Eliot did not dwell at
length" said Mr.. Cary, upon elemen-
tary education, but touched upon the
matter incidentally. 1t seemed to be
his idea that our schools are going
upon the theory that any child can do
anything and arrive at any trade, any
profession, any occupation in life that
he may choose or that may fall in his
way. He believes that this theory is
not conformabIe to nature and would,
imagine, have teachers AID super
visOrs determine for the child what he
is best qualified to do and train him
accordingly.
Children Differ Vastly.
''Now. if all children were as nearly
alike as two peas in a pod, the best
school education could be figured out
with almost mathematical certainty
But they are not all alike, as every
teacher knows, and as every parent
knows if he has more than one. They
differ greatly in interests, in intellec-
tual ability and in disposition. This
is most fortunate, for a dreary and
JuODOlOUOuS WOl i'll ILLS NOulJ NC IL ~
were not so. Progress of all sorts is
due to the fact that some people are
talented in one direction and some in
another Theoretically at least, there
is some one thing any given child
could be trained to do and to enjoy
better than any other thing that might
be selected. Doubtless success and
happiness in life are largely depend
ent for any individual upon his getting
into the right niche. That the ele-
mentary school must eventually pay
more attention to the individual needs
of pupils and aid more in helping
children to find the right niche in the
world is evident to anyone who has
studied the problem. One of the
functions of teachers and supervisors
should be to discover latent talent
and to encourage it.
Elementary Work Too Bookish.
THE primary school must teach the
rudiments of an education, or at least,
put the child in possession Of the
tools Of an education; namely, read
ing, writing, spelling, and ciphering,
but beyond this,-and this is a task

Get Tired of School.

Recently a study was made in Mas
sachusetts to determine why so many
children are not taking advantage of
their opportunities to get schooling
1t was found that $4,000 children in
Massachusetts between the ages of IA
and 16 are not in school,; that children
drop out rapidly after the fifth grade;
that five-sixths leave school without
completing the eighth grade; that one
half do not complete the seventh
grade. Two-thirds of the parents in
terviewed said their children could
have remained in school if they had
been willing to do so. The children
said they got tired of school, wanted
to go to work, etc. Many parents
deeply regretted there was no trade
school to which they could send their
children. They realized that their chill
dren were falling into evil ways be-
cause they had no work to do Those
that found work must always remain
uuskilIed laborers able to command a
wage that would barely keep them
alive

Need Trade Schools.

ct is sheer waste of good human
stuff to have masses of children leaV-
ing school at 13 or IA, or even
Younger. What shall be done? Elk
pand the school system to meet the
needs of all the principal types. In
trOduce trade schools wherever posi-
BILE to accommodate those who wish
to take advantage of them; make the
work of the gTades-particularly the
last four years of the COurse-more
valued and of a more active type. The
first departure from the present course
should be in the direction OF finding
attractive and educative work for
those who now drop out of school be
cause they are not attracted to books
and to abstract studies. This will
cost more money, and it will make the
school system more complex. If l dis
agree with President Eliot at all, it
is in the practical working out OF
these changes. [ have the impress,
sion that he would have teachers Sc
Iect in a more or less arbitrary way,
what pupils must do. My notion is
that the pupil and his parents in the
main make the selection, the teacher
