ANSWERING PUBLIC SCHOOL CRITICISM.

Current criticisms OF the pubic
school are discussed in a report just
issued by the United Safes bureau of
contention that the three RS" are
neglected in the modern school is an
swered with the emphatic statement
that the three RS are better taught
today than they were fifty or sixty
years ago"
We frequently hear that there are
too many subjects TOO many fads
and frills. and hence neglect OF the
three RS says the report. The
critics who utter this sort of criticism
seldom agree on exactly what the fads
and friils are, but they invariably look
back ID golden past when the So
called fundamentals reading, writing.
and arithmetic. were taught in such d
way as never to be forgotten AS
matter OF fact the system of today is
immeasura bly, ahead Of the school sys-
tenn OF the past. The growth has been
steady. Whatever may be said against
the enrichment of the course Of study,
Its fads and frills. the contention that
the essentials. so called. have suffered
In comparison with the past falls fat"
In discussing current criticism gen
orally, the report finds that much of
the criticism OF the public schools of
today is due TO a marked change in
the purpose Of public education The
charge OF curriculum behind the
times and the demand for vocational
subjects. represent no mere call for
different school subjects as such. but
a complete transformation in the idea
of what the public school should do.
: Those who criricise the bookish
curriculum Of the public school, wheth-
er elementary or high school, are really
striving for what they conceive TO be
/, the changed purpose Of education: To
reach all the children OF all the people
with the kind Of training that will
make them not merely intelligent, in
respect TO things that are in books. but
Will equip them directly for the kind
of life, economic and social which
they will lead when they leave school;
while those who oppose the innovations
do SO because they do not concede this
broader, tho apparently more special
tied, purpose"

is 1T so: IF so, WHY
[Grinnell Register.

Three people were represented in n
| talk in the office the other day. The
travelling man was there first and he
was telling how much better line OF
paper Smith, Jones & Co carried than
| anybody else. Right in the midst, of a
beautiful sentence the squire stepped
briskly in to ask If there were any new
developments in the Heishman trial.
The prohibitionist just dropped in aft
erwards because he had nothing else
to do. with the presidential election
over three years away.
| After the squire had been told the
status OF the trial as near as possible
the travelling man had to be told what
was going on. After he was informed
the prohibitionist ventured the state
| ment that during the twenty years
! that he had lived in Grinnell he had
| never heard as much scandal, most OF
! which seemed to have plenty Of foun-
! dation. as he had heard IN the last four
months. The travelling man said that
! this was nothing peculiar to the city OF
Grinnell. The same thing was true
Of nearly every city that he visited.
(, The wave OF immortality was not en-
quilting a city here and there. but the
whole country.
! MS was SUCH q IlliiiS SIoSSihSAs
! that the three wise men started out
! to locate the reason for his retrograde
movement. Two OF the reasons were
so novel that we give them. One Of
them seemed almost ridiculous but the
speaker was very much IN earnest
about it so we will present his argu-
ment in due turn.
The squire held the view, not at all
, uncommon. that the main cause was
the dresses. tasteless and indecent In
the extreme which SO many women
wear.
The prohibitionist said that people
could laugh at the idea as much as
they liked. he was sure that one i'm
portant cause was the costume or
lack of costume. of the athletes on
Ward Field.
The travelling man had been keeping
very quiet for a travelling man. and
broke in at this point with q surprising
degree OF feeling.
You can say what you are mind
to but the whole - thing comes from
the growing desire OF the women or
America to have small families.
Then the squire and the prohibition
list went their several ways and the
travelling man wiped the perspiration
off his brow and went back 70 telling
about quality paper.

nobody but himself knew his real name,

When the employees realized a real
warning had been sounded a mad rush
was made for fire escapes, but few got
out. Some were killed by falling from
the cluttered fire escape or being

hurt by jumping from the third and
