THE WRIT SYSTEM.

Marion can't be Gary and Marion
shouldn't want to be Gary, but Ma
rion should want to take advantage
of every opportunity to grow, to
grow in methods and effectiveness as
well as in grace. So Marion can
study Gary to great advantage. There
has perhaps never been a movement
in educational affairs that has at
| tracted more attention than the Writ
system at Gary has attracted, and the
verdict is such that no educator who
expects to be up to date can afford to
miss this opportunity.
One OF the results at Gary, for in
stance, as described by an educator
who knows what he is talking about
| is 1.-The educational capacity doubled
and the cost of education cut in two,
all at the same time This is some
what strong, but it means multiply
ing the results by four, and not only
this. but if these visitors know any
pupil who make the most of the Gary
schools is better equipped for the
struggle of every day life than a
graduate of most other scools
Perhaps the keynote of the Writ
system is learn by doing The pu-
pills make furniture, they paint that
furniture, they make any number of
things. They are taught to apply
their knowledge. For instance, in
the primary grades the children are
taught to count by games; they are
taught other things by applying the
simple rules. Also 1.-The child learns
to count with his reading lesson, .
and learns to read with his ele-
mentary geography lesson.
| In the older grades arithmetic is
taught by practical examples. I'm
the class rooms are scales and meas
uring devices where beans and other
household commodities are weighed
and measured out. These classes go
lout into the Fairgrounds and meas
