That is one criticism We would make
of the rules-there are too many.
The tendency in all lines is to regu-
late too much by rules and laws. We
go on the principle that every man is
gull Y or a rascal and We try to re-
form him by law and rule. However
the rules are all right.

Prof. Dewey Tells Twentieth

Asserting that the reason children
leave school is that they find that

that they feel that they are wasting
their time. Prof. John Dewey. head
of the philosophy department of Co
lnmbia university, told the Twentieth
Century club, Thursday afternoon,
that the school curriculum must De

He proposed that the first years be
given TO general education with an
everpresent idea 10 n the child for
