possible in the classroom. 1t is true
that the assignment of the next lesson
is the point at which the teacher
should carefully indicate to the whole
class the nature of the difficulties 10
be encountered and suggest ways and
means of meeting them; but because
its function and value are not duly
appreciated the assignment is at pres
ent, | am safe in saying, precisely
the weakest point in the teaching OF
our secondary schools. The guidance
| have mentioned is more than the
perfunCtOry answering of questions
and indicating of reference books, 1t
involves more than TECHNICAL scholar
ship; it demands personality and
sound sense of values in learning and
in life; it proceeds from emotional as
we'll as intellectual fellowship with the
pupil in his ambitions and his strlv
ings. In very few homes are there
conditions favorable to study. At
school the library and the study hall
are logically the places for special
guidance. But, the salary for the Ii
brarian is so small as to make the
appointment and continuance of a per
son with the modern professional
equipment out of the question; more
over, one librarian, however well
trained, could not meet the needs.
And the average teacher assigned to
duty in the study hall IS expert only
in his own group of subjects, the mum
Der of pupils in the room is large, and
the teacher considers his function
there to be mOnitOrial rather than
educational So serious is the sltua-
ton that | am inclined to believe 1t
would be wise to have the high school
remain open until four o'clock every
school day, a sufficient number of
| teachers Of the several subjects being
assigned to duty, for the specific pur-
pose of offering pupils the optional
| opportunity to extend their private
reading and to pursue their studies IN
quiet, with reference books a plenty
and competent advisors at hand. At
any rate, the high schools must take
the incoming pupil precisely where
they find him; if he does not apply
himself to his studies diligently and
systematically. it IS the business of
/ the high schools then and there TO
put him in the way of learning to do
| so.
In advising pupils in the selection
/ of courses, teachers perform a most
delicate. difficult, and important task.
1t is of fundamental importance in
. such matters to realize and to act
upon the view that power cannot be
trained apart from the subject matter
, upon which it is brought to bear.
1T IS false to assume that because a
youth has studied Latin and Greek
! for several years, he has been trained
TO apply himself with vigor and sue
! cess to any mental problem that may
be presented to him The truth IS
that he has been trained primarily to
study languages, and, in particular
Latin and Greek; and only inciden-
tally to exercise his mental powers
The Washington bee., 1910-05-28

outside the field of linguistic study. "
To advise a pupil who has no aptitude
for Latin to study it for its discipli-
nary value, is to fly into the face of
modern thought in education and TO
do the pupil an injustice by exposing
him to needless discouragement.
Many of the failures in our high
schools are due to precisely the fact
that the studies are not acCOrdant
with the specific aptitudes of the pu-
pills. THE greatest defect in our
school system to-day" says Superin-
tendent Maxwell, ''is that the princi-
pals and teachers do not guide pu-
pills, in selecting their high school
courses, along the lines of their special
aptitudes."
Miscellaneous.
| respectfully renew the recommen-
datiOn OF my predecessor, Doctor
Montgomery, that Spanish be taught
IN the NJ Street High School and the
Armstrong Manual Training School.
Doctor Montgomery also recon-
mended that pupils in the NJ Street
High School be given opportunity to
take manual training, at least as an

periods" The proximity of this
school to the Armstrong Manual
Training School" said he, makes this
quite feasible without additional cost,
since the manual training plant exists
there | renew this recOmmenda-
ton.
A committee of citizens voicing a
general sentiment and conviction pre-
sented a memorial to the Board OF
Education which set forth an argu-
ment for the removal of the business
courses from the Armstrong Manual
Training School. | am heartily in
sympathy with this view; the business
courses should have a separate build
ing, separate faculty, their own at
, mosphere.
! An Amendment to the Organic Law.
| have the honor TO recommend that
the organic law be amended so as to
provide for a head of the department
OF ancient languages, and head OF
the department of modern languages,
in Armstrong Manual Training School
and NJ Street High School, instead
of one head of department for both
groups of languages as at present. 1t
is difficult for one person to exercise
close expert supervision over both the
ancient and the modern languages.

THEY WERE BLACK.

Some lew days ago a parent made
complaint to the principal of the High
School against a teacher who had her
children instructing there This par
ent states that her children were cri-

were black. She reported the matter
to the principal and informed him
that she would lay the case before

IT SUITS

So far as the editor of The Bee
is concerned and the office OF
recorder of deeds he has this to
say: This office is strictly politi-
cal reserved plum for Negro poll
ticians who are persona non
grata at home and this city is
"a rendezvous of these politicians
who must leave their home
where they are better known,
and comes to this city where
they are not known. The best
evidence of mans unpopularity
is when he is compelled to leave
his own home and go to aHother
place to get a job. This particu-
lar office is strictly local and a
local man should be appointed.
The Bee is satisfied with the
present incumbent because he
was not a candidate for the of
fee. He is also a gentleman and
a lawyer with large clientage.
The editor of The Bee never was
a candidate for the office and
hopes never to be. He is per-
fectly satisfied with being the
boss of his own business and a
servant for the people. The ed
itor of The Bee is unlike many
office seekers in that he is not a
candidate for an office. Can the
Freeman saw as much? ?

In physics there were at
