Educational Topies-New Directories
lssued-End Of Closed Season for
Woodstock Lake-GeneraI News.

| 7. II. DeCoudres, superintendent OF
4 schools at East Hartford, and formerly
| OF Putnam, has addressed circular let
| tiers to various persons in this city in
| the interest Of the Hartford County
| Research club, who are endeavoring
to secure data bearing on the ques-
| ton whether or not the public schools
] are as practical as they should be and
| why boys, who are not absolutely COM
| PEELED by lack of funds to do so, leave
! school before completing the high
| school course. The club Is especially
| interested in the bearing of industrial
education on the questions under con-
stderation. In the interest of practical
! education those persons in receipt OF
the letters have been requested to an
swer a series of questions.
Among the questions are the follow
ing: In what respect do you think
the methods Of teaching any of the
subjects taught in the schools could
be changed to advantage? Do you
think more or less arithmetic should
be taught than is now taught? What
subjects already taught in the schools
would you advise emitting? What new
subjects do you think should be add
ed? Has your experience since leav-
ing school led you to believe that any
important changes ought to be made
in the courses Of study? Should the
time given to geography be increased
or diminished? Should manual train
ing be carried on in the schools ?
Should elementary science be taught
In the grammar grades7 To what ex-
tent should Industrial training be
made a part Of the work in the gram
mar and high schools? How much
time should be given to Latin and
Greek in the high school? Should
more attention be given to English
than is now given7 Inquiry is also
made as 70 how many years have
elapsed since the Recipients Of the
letters attended the public schools and
as to what trade, business or profess
sion they have been engaged in most
of the time since leaving school.
