SCHOOL OUNCES.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1905. by Edwin A. Nye.


Do not become too much concerned
If your child makes slow progress at
school.
Only few students are expected to
come near to the standard" The
standard is unattainable, which is alb
surd-that is to say, the school accepts
60 to IS per cent. which tacitly admits
the fact that the standard is too high.
Therefore
If your boy or girl does average
school work you should be satisfied
And do not be agitated IL the teacher
says your child is dull
Here are some remarkable facts COM
piled by William McAndrew:
Listen!
Beecher was thirty-fourth in his
class Linnaeus' teacher said he was
unfit, Darwins that he was dull, Sew
ards that he was stupid, Wordsworths
that he was a disappointment, Sheri-
dams that be was defective, Hum
boldt's that he lacked ordinary intelli-
gence, Heine's that he was a Ounce,
Byron's that he belonged to the tail.
Huxley's that he was notably defec-
tive, Schiller's that he was very de-
ficient, Lowells that he was negligent.
More?
Goldsmith's teacher said he could
not learn. Wagner's that he was a
mental sloven. Goethe's that he was
unsatisfactory, Emerson's that be was
hopeless. Pasteurs that he was only
average. Thackeray's that he was un-
distinguished. Gladstone's that he had
no unusual ability, Watts that he lack
ed the qualities of success.
Besides
e. J. Swift In Mind In the Making
DUBBED FAILURES while in school
by their teachers.
There is a reason:
School is not life.
Our present system of education pro-
vides an artificial mental diet 1t is
! beyond a few fundamentals-unft
for real life here and now. The men
who formulated the system lived long
ago. They did not study real life and
try to reproduce it. Any well posted
educator will tell you so if he is hon
est.
The most that can be claimed fol
our school currieulums is that they
will give the student mental discipline
| brain exercise.

Marks" and credits" cannot deter
mine brain progress. They may be in

Yesterday the Tennesseean appeared
with another attack on Cooper. The
latter is said to have declared that he
was going In search of Carmack and
make him apologize publicly. The for
mer senator was told of this, and the
fact that both men were prepared prob
ably accounted for the fact that there
were no preIiminaries TO the duel.
