REMEDY TO BE FOUND

President of Jersey Science
Teachers Association Points
Out Radical Faults.

There is something radically wrong
with our school system and methods!
That plain and u~nvarnished fact stands
forth In bold relief, and you cannot
avoid it," said Professor william
Wiener, of the Barringer High School,
at the spring meeting of the New Jer-
sey State Science Teachers Association
this morning at the Montclair Normal
School.
Out of every thousand pupils that
enter annually 40 per cent. leave at
the end Of the first year and about 20
per cent. of the original number leave
at the end of the second and third
years. Seldom more h 20 per cent.
of the entering class Is graduated.
Don't you see that something must be
wrong when a corps of bright pupils
dwindles in four years from 1000 to 2001
Not Properly Prepared.
And what is the cause of this? I
have learned by personal experience
that in so per cent. of the desertions
1t has been because the pupils nave
.loulu- they were mol DeiHS Property
prepared for life-that the so-called
~pofnmerciaF courses were a snare and
a delusion. Children are the sincerest
mt bitterest critics of a school sys-
tem!"
In speaking Of the best remedy for
the existing evils he spoke of, he said:
plan your curricula so that you may
aid in dignifving manual labor and in
s'dustrial relations, and thus make for
greater efficiency in life, for better citi-
zenship, besides guaranteeing common
sense care, utilization and preservation
Of the God-given of our land"
