Arkansas Superintendent Criticizes
Fads of Modern Education.
Child study is an unceasing
fad advocated by the imaginative
childless and childish, in the edu-
cational world" declared Sup
erintendent Junius Gordon, of
Pine Bluff, Ark, in an address
of Crowded Curriculum" given
before the New Orleans Educa-
tional Association, and the speak
er's address met with hearty APP
plause.
The speaker told of the dam
age done by an overcrowded cur
riculum, and to emphasize his re-
marks upon this subject he gave
some definitions by pupils of or
binary things, showing that they
have not the faintest conception
of many things which they study.
The speaker described this
crowding brought about through
the combined efforts of univer-
sity professors, book concerns
and school boards, who are al
ways finding something new to
add to the stock of studies of the
school child.
He showed how the work of
the teacher is hampered with
this crowding of studies. and
drew a pathetic picture of the
teacher, handicapped with small
wages, cold lunches and small
recognition Of her merits. The
overcrowding, he showed, pro-
duced complex concepts in the
child, and is against good peda-
gogic principles. Its result is to
produce, in cases, students who
may dazzle by their brilliancy,
but who will never illumine the
world with their intelligence.
He dwelt uopn the small recog-
milton parents show teachers for
their work when little well de-
served praise would mean so
much to her in her efforts. He
said if school teachers would
strike and turn all the children
losse for thirty or forty days they
could get pretty nearly any wages
they pleased.
He dwelt upon the spirit of
culture that pervades the teach
ing professions, and regretted
that parents paid so little atten-
ton to attending meetings of
teachers, and subscribing to edu-
cational journals. Notwith-
standing this, they feel amply
qualified to dictate to a teacher
who has had ten or more years
of experience, after getting their
information on educational sub
jects only from the mouths OF
prattling children.
While no course is perfect, eff.
forts are being made in the right
direction by a few safe educators
to eliminate much of a curricu.
lum only destined for prodigies
or wage-earners. Many pl1ysi
cal wrecks are engendered by
crowding children with to many
studies and forcing them tot
early into the high school. There
is to much effort in trying tt
make students instead of pupils,
From 6 to IA is not too long fol
pupils to remain in the primary
