inserted any expression Of reason OIL
humanity toward the enemy. The
Germans, indeed by their methods OF
warfare give little chance to those
who endeavor to remember and re-

such a conception realized. The great

EDUCATION IN DENMARK.

Only one person in 1000 in Denmark
is unable to read and write, as COM
pared with seven out of every LOCO in
the United States. OF 100000 Danish
children of school age only $40 failed to
attend school during the year 1911.
These and other significant facts are
brought out by H. w. Foght. of the
United States Bureau of Education.
Mr.. Foght recently visited Denmark to
make personal Investigations concern
ing school conditions and has published
the results in a bulletin just issued.
Compulsory attendance upon school
children between the ages of and IA
| is SO strictly enforced in Denmark that
the few who persist in avoiding their
legal responsibilities are punished so
severely hat they are glad enough to
change their minds
According to Mr.. Foght the Danish
schools are run 6 days in the week, CIV
ing at least 246 school days to the year.
The people are so imbued with the
value of education that they will go to
any extremity to keep children In
school.
School life is made attractive by CIV

teachers" says Mr.. Foght, must be
able to instruct in music whether they
can sing or not. The teacher almost in
variably accompanies the songs with
violin, which all teachers know how to
use" School music includes patriotic,
religious and folk songs
Danish schools do not use a spelling
book. Spelling is taught as a part OF
the reading process. Grammar is like
wise taught largely through doing"
as Mr.. Foght expresses it. ''Dictation
is given from some classic; this is then
analysed and rules of grammar are ap-
piled as needed" The Bible is strongly
emphasized in all the schools.
Children at school wear slippers and
the girls wear short bloomer like skirts.
In their physical exercises, which have
prominent place in even the rural
schools of Denmark. the peculiar dress
of the girl serves them we'll in giving
freedom Of movement.
Mr.. F'oght says that the secret of
Denmarks high place in educational
affairs lies in the hold which the
teacher has upon the entire people. Ev-
cry teacher is a professional teacher.
The salaries are among the highest
given to any class Of workers. Teach
ers' houses with valuable pieces Of land
attached, are furnished in addition to
the already liberal salaries. Teaching
is. from every standpoint, made honor
able in Denmark. The teacher has high
social ranking. is leader in both
church and state. and is invariably PEN
stoned for disability or age.
Teachers SO thoroughly furnished and
working under such happy conditions
very naturally exemplify a high order
of teaching Mr.. Foght says: 1.-The
Danish teachers draw upon their broad,
general reading and experience for
much Of the classroom materials, in
stead Of depending upon textbooks to
furnish everything required" -,
