BETTER PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
A Critics Suggestions for Their
Improvement.

A Critics Suggestions for Their
Improvement.
Ideal public schools are not likely to
arrive much before the millennium, but that
a great deal can he done to improve them
is pointed out by Joseph n. Rogers in
L~ippincotts Magazine. A few OF his ideas
are compressed in these sentences:
1t Is not meant that the present system
should be wholly abandoned, and a return
mtde to earlier conditions. But IL is GER
tain that IL the three RS were restored to
their former Importance many fads and
fancies would be given up as fads and
fsncies In actual courses Of study and re-
placed more probably in other ways.
Take, for instance. physiology, upon which
much stress is laid In these days. 1t is an
important subject, concern ing which every
child should have some fundamental ii-
struction, but 1t is not necessary to spend
ycOrs in studying 1t from text books. An
illustrated lecture Of half an hour each
week by a competent physician would be
of far more value than the books now
studied. 1t seems a fact that the children
gain little practical benefit from this study
at present. Then there is physical geo
graphy, which is made to include the ele-
ments OF geology. astronomy and zoology.
1 ave never yet found the boy who did
not consider this study a bore. He found
ers through the book, learning some special
things without getting a grasp of the
whole subject, and usually is more mystl-
fled than enlightened by many of the
statements. Here Is a case where a simple
text book would be sufficient II supple
mented by a course of illustrated lectures,
which children would certainly enjoy and
from which they would derive permanent
benefit.
In these days great stress Is laid upon
what Is called English, which includes
grammar, composition. literature, etc. A few
authors are chosen, and children pore over
these, commit some pieces to memory, and
aIAlyze them until they are tired out and
Disguised. I speak from experience and
wide observation. How many school chill
dren have ever heard a great piece Of Iitera-
ture properly read? ] was IA years old be-
fore any such thing came into my life, and
! had unusual advantages In this respect.
If there were a dozen lecturers visiting
each school, occasionally making use OF
moving pictures and lantern slides or OF
other illustrative material, / feel sure that
children would not only be greatly inter-
ested. but that they would have things i'm
pressed on their minds In more definite
fashion. II for each OF these lectures there
were furnished to the pupils a brief printed
syllabus. the subject matter could be more
firmly impressed and the lessons forever
remembered. And what seems probable ID
that the children would be the means
through them OF giving their parents q
good deal OF Information. This may seem
like bringing the university method dow

secured satisfactory water supply,
and hereafter the people will be ex-

means of quenching their thirst. The

and fined sufficiently to drive them out
