School Strikes

Another school strike Is in the
News. School strikes are almost
weekly events now. What a COM
ment they are on our education. 4
generation ago one would expect as
soon TO hear of a strike in the army
or navy as in a school.
The first essential of education is
discipline. and the second is discip-
line, and the last IS discipline. There
are only two institutions of educa-
ton IN this country that have not
been the subject of severe criticism
from those who know. Those two
are West Point and Annapolis.
Their watchword is discipline. They
take what Is sometimes apparently
quite unpromising material and in
four years they make an educated
gentleman.
Let us have more OF their meth
DDS in all of our schools and there
will BE- less reason for dissatisfac-
tion. We have quite enough ten
dency TO disregard authority in this
country without fostering it in the
school children.

Problems Discussed By
Prominent Educators

At a reception given in honor Of
Miss Winifred Robinson, dean OF
the Women 5 College. held in Vii
mington last Friday, Miss Robinson
discussed the educational progress
of women. She said in part:
"Oberlin first opened its doors to
women, and later Mt. Holyoke,
founded solely for them. The eco
nomic need of better educated wo-
men. came with the Civil War,
when the drafting of men for the
army. left women to take the place
of the bread winners.
I'm 1861 EaSsar College was
founded. Matthew VaSsar was a
suffragist. His object was to in
sure the liberty and equality in ed
ucation of men and women.
The universities of Wisconsin
and Michigan both opened their
doors to women. Then came Smith
and Wellesley in 1875; Goucher
and Bryn Mawr later-four col
leges which have made the educa-
ton of women by themselves, Sc
cure.
The establishment of Delaware
College for Women marks growth
in the educational system here,
Ideals are ours, for it now, rather
than accomplished facts. which lie
in the future. "
DR.. Charles 4. Wagner. who was
also a guest of honor. spoke of the
status of education in rural Deia
ware.
Giving as a reason why we
should be interested in the educa-
ton of Delaware. DR.. Wagner
urged that as We educate more and
more. 50 We raise human beings
above the earthly. and give them
more desire for the spiritual Viii
mington will rise as the population
of Delaware looks to it and de-
mands from it more and more.
DR.. Wagner then gave statistics
showing the very small amount OF
schooling that falls to the lot of the
average boy and girl outside of this
city. In the towns and villages of
New Castle county. 20 out of 100
are the average number of days
schooling received; in the rural
county, 63 out of 100: in Kent
county towns. 20 out of 100: in
rural Kent. 53 out of l0o: in Sus-
sex towns IIGG-@;it~ OF 100; in rural
55 out of 100. In fact. the
average child gets but five months
schooling out of ten.
Following the addresses which
closed with few words of encour-
agement and promised cooperation
from Mrs. Warner. the members of
the club and their guests mingled
in friendly converse about the
drawing room. many availing them
selves of the opportunity to talk
further with Dean Robinson and
Dr. Wagner. /

The Study Of
Latin Is Questioned

In large number of schools We
find children as young as ten or
eleven years beginning to study
Latin. In the public schools this
language is not taken up until high
school is reached. at about the fif-
teenth year. and even then not by a
majority of the children. In the
private schools a great majority of
children begin this difficult study
at a much earlier age. In some
schools they have to study Latin
whether they wish to or not.
Let us note the different reasons
given supporting the teaching of
this particular subject:
FIRST-It trains the mind.
SECOND-Children learn lang
ugaes more easily when they are
young than when they are older.
THIRD-The studying of the dead
languages opens the door to
beautiful and valuable literature.
FOURTH-The study OF Latin
aids in the comprehension of our
own language, so many of our
words having Latin roots.
FIFTH - The study of Latin
makes the learning of other lang
uages, particularly the modern
languages. easier.
Let Us take them up. one by one.
1t is said the study of Latin
trains the mind. So it does. So
does the study of German. a similar
language and infinitely more use
full So does the study of the
sciences. and TO much greater ex-
tent. Says Carlye, in his inimi-
table 'Sartor ReSartus

the mind { y How can an In

post, but like a spirit, by hys-

Herbert spencer, In his mastery
essay on Education, with which
Newark post., 1914-03-25
ITEMS OF INTEREST IN
THE REALM OF EDUCATION


familiar. makes very clear the rea-
son why other subjects for study
will train the mind much better
than will language-learning.
Now for the second argument for
studying Latin. 1t is perfectly true
that children learn languages more
easily than do mere adults-but
this is only true when the Ian
guages are taught as languages and
not as complex and difficult sciences
Young children should not be
confronted with masses of nearly
incomprehensible technique for
which they are not mentally fitted
at all. A boy of Is can absorb such
material with fair amount of ease.
For boy of II or u. or even 13 or
ii. it is almost deadly.
The writer knows of boys who
have to spend nearly an hour a day
studying their Latin-and they
cannot do simple arithmetic TO save
their souls. Says Spencer in the
essay mentioned:
Grammar is the philosophy
of language. In following the
process of nature. neither indi-
viduals nor nations ever arrive
at the science FIRST. \ lam
guage is spoken many years be-
fore a grammar is thought of.
In short. as grammar was made
after language, so it ought to
be taught after language.
Latin. then. is not taught like a
language, but like science, and in
a purely scientific manner, for
which a mind is not prepared until
we'll along into adolescence.
The third reason is almost silly.
1t would take years of intense
study to be able to read any one of
the dead languages so we'll that it
would be appreciated nearly as
much as would be some of the
splendid English translations of
these classics. The writer has no
quarrel with the idea that reading
the claSsics-carefully chosen-is
but the writer does insist
that while he approves of the teach
ing of the classic languages. espec-
ally to children. If college man
should find a knowledge of Latin
necessary. he could acquire in a
wear all the preparatory Latin that
lakes the average boy years 10 alb
,orb.
The fourth is soon answered. The
study of Latin does help one 10
the roots of a proper
ion of the words of our language. .
But its value for this use is certain !
Y not worth the great effort put
Ipon it. Furthermore majority .
II the words of everyday speech .
ire of AnglO-Saxon derivation.
md not Latin.
The last is more or less true.
earning Latin is likely TO make
he learning of other languages
asier. but largely because the pupil
las become accustomed TO the lam
process. The idea
f studying Latin for four years in
rider TO make easy the learning of
french. for instance. which in the
irst place can be fairly we'll grasp
d in a much shorter time seems
ad reasoning.
Coming down to real facts, as far
; children are concerned. the
earning of Latin is an egregious
nd almost criminal waste of time.
I is without real value. Spencer /
gain gives the actual reason for
Is place in the curriculum. Says
e: If We inquire what is the real
motive for giving boys classic ed
.cation, We find it to be simply con-
ormity to public opinion. Men
.reSs their children 5 minds as they
10 their bodies, in the prevailing
ashton.
