AMERICAN CHILD WISER.
An English Authority Interestingly

"A radical difference between Eng,

organization is In the relation OF ele-
mentary and secondary schools" says
j. l.. HANDEL of Manchester. England,
In a bulletin On English elementary ed
ncation issued b. the United States
bureau of education.
A factor that renders comparison diff
icult, according to MIR. Handel, is the
inherent difference between the Eng
lish and the American child. The lat
ter, he declares, rs by nature more
precocious, natures earlier, is by cir
cumstances of his urhringing thrown
more into the company Of adults. with
the consequence that he is less reserv.
ed and self conscious and more alert
than the former.
american children have a far better
knowledge Of the history Of their coun
try and In some cases of general his,
tory than is to be found among Eng
fish elementary school children. The
same is true of their knowledge Of To-
cal and national government.

child has better command Of oral ex,
