Chance for Clean Streets

Many OF these laborers. If the ordinance

Evils of Negative Education

@ ONE Of the defects OF negative" educa-
~ tion. Of which most men in executive
positions will agree there is far too much
In the American system, were pointed out
the other day by Professor Brander Mat
thews, of Columbia University. Professor
Matthews was discussing deficiencies in the
use Of the written and spoken language, but
what he said. with appropriate modifca-
tons, Is capable of application to a good
many other educational fields.
The salf-educated, he declared, get their
knowledge Of English from the grammars,
which until recently "abounded in unfounded
assertions and laid down rules without valid
ity. This focused attention on the purely
negative merit of avoiding error. instead
of centring 1t on the positive merit of
achieving sincerity, clarity and vigor."
1t is not only the grammars and the gram
marians who are guilty of this fundamental
mistake. The negative theory, despite the
celebrations Of educators of force and under
standing, runs through great part of the
modern school course. instruction very
largely has been matter of packing into
the pupils head a motley assortment of rules
and dogmas, on which he mustnodel his
speech and his thought, as we'll as his life.
The protests of the enlightened are having
their effect, but education, ii would appear,
is one of the most conservative of all
SCIENCE. Its revolutions are not matters OF
a day, but Of many, many years. However,
the disadvantages that inhere in the plan
Of pouring class of children into series
of molds each mold exactly like every other,
gradually are becoming apparent Better
STILL some of this perception rs finding its
way into practice.
If individuality Of thought and method
are not yet actively and universally encour-
aged, they do receive in many schools sort
Of grudging welcome Some lucky children
are being taught what to do and how to do
1t, rather than being fed mentally on purely
negative pap. They are being urged to
think. and to think for themselves. They
will be far more useful men and women for
this youthful advantage that Is theirs.

are They Thinking of Peace?


c VERY little while are told that at
L. tempts are being made either by Ger
many or Austria to discover whether one or
other OF the allies would make peace sepa-
rately. At first the report was that Ger
many had cast out "feelers" In the direction
of France; then that the Kaiser wanted to
see whether Russia would listen to reason
and let France and England fight on alone.
More recently the correspondents had it that
Franz Josef would fain make peace with the
Car and so leave Germany to her fate,
These reports all came from the camp OF
the allies. and possibly were worth all the
credence they received in this country, and
that was none at all. All things are DOS
sible, however. and SO it may be that behind
the smoke and roar Of battle, behind the
crash OF walls and the means of the dying,
sleek gentlemen are even now debating upon
the price at which they will sell peace to
millions of ordinary human beings
