 Such tirades as that of Dr. Sidis, carry their own answer. But it is due to the teaching and educational workers to say word in brief reply.
 It is only partly true that present day teachers are careless young girls or lrate old maids" There are some of these kinds in all public schools, but the great majority of teachers. and particularly in large cities are conscientious men and women whose motives are not only to make a liv- ing but to do great good.
 The allegation that children are be- coming more backward shows that Professor Sidis' facts are all wrong. Records of any city will show that children can, and, to-day, are enter- ing grade schools and colleges at much earlier ages than they did 50 or 25 years ago. And certainly. this fact is in itself proof that present day systems are approaching as near per lection as possible. pr. Sidis' opin- ions are unSubStantiated; they do not present any facts to justify them; and they show evidence of lack of con- tact with the workings of schools.
 AS to his diatribe against a childs reading fairy tales, mother goose rhymes and mythical stories, that has been threshed out with the result that the best European school systems in- clude these in their regular curricu- lums. These tend to mould the child's ideals and form good examples for him to follow
 There was never a time when such an effort was made, and successfully too, to reach the individual as much as possible. Present systems make a special effort to cater to the cripple or mentally defective. Many of pr. Sidis' charges are too absurd to be answered.
