Mrs. E. Fl. Stickney. She said: From
the time when We learned our a. b,

school house at the crossroads. educa-

attitude of the people, the interest in

program for next season which will
consist of five principal topics. three
meetings to be spent on each. After
this short business session the sched-

paper was given by Mrs. Hubbcll on
the subject. Waste in Education"
She showed the waste in time. energy,
ambition and achievement resulting
from bad plans or a lack of system.
bringing out the uselessness Of con.
study, OF going over and over the
same thing and taxing the strength
and nervous energy Of pupils to COM
piete a course in some branch which
fs seldom, II ever, used except in a
professional life. Mrs. Hubbell gave
as an example the study of mathe-
mates. which has been insisted upon
to train h reasoning powers" The
higher forms especially are now come
to be looked upon as absurd and un-
necessary for any but those who wish
to specialize. These three principal
elements Of educational waste are an
nual or semi-annual promotions; re-
views. aminations and tests for that
