SISS0N TALKS

Scientific Study of Education, Subject
OF His Address to Students and
Faculty Yesterday

Commissioner Education DR.. E. o
education faculty at the university is
giving a series of lectures before the
education classes and others who de-
sire to attend These lectures are OF
value to all interested in the study OF
education
On Wednesday, DR.. Sisson spoke on
the Scientific Study of EDUCATION, by
which is meant the application of ac7
curate and systematic methods to the
answering of education problems.
In quoting from the influential sci
entific minds and thought of previous
til very recently has been nearly all
guess work. The first man to give
serious study to scientific education
was Herbert who tried to work out a
scientific basis for education in psy-
chology which formed the stimulus
Of our modern psychology, though to
ethics furnishing the sain of education
and psychology the method. Soclol-
ogy, the present day factor, had not
yet been born. Today the serious at
tempt to study education scientifical-
ly is very recent Thorndike, the
psychologist at Columbia University,
.sfr,5 ,1v on al
problems, also DR.. L. P. Ayers of the
Russell Sage Foundation.
DR.. Sisson mentioned in particular
two fields for this study, the psyche
physical and the statistical.
The physical method is the
study of the human organism as
sentiment, knowing, and willing
creature-the actual investigation of
the person. There are enormous diff
fculties in this field. Why not work
out a system of education through eX-
pert study and submit it to the people
who shall put it into practice? Be
cause one cannot experiment with hn-
one cannot face the proposal
to take child and experiment with
it. There is, too, the difficulty OF
time Scientific Investigation is the
tracing. of cause and relation. One
may begin with a child in its very
earliest period but the real results do
not come until mature life.
The statistical method for the sci
entific study of education must be also
carried on with difficulties represent
ed by enormous care and labor.
The following examples were dis
,ussed:
The investigation of the words a
child should learn to spell and which |
should be included in a speller. In
1908, the National Educational As
sociation selected Ala words which |
hey thought every child ought to
spell. This was the elimination OF

Not alone does the farm marke

but likewise handles every branch
of work designed to upbuild ant
develop the entire state,' said w. G

was in Moscow this week and left yes.
terday for the northern part of the
state. Mr.. ScholtZ- is now touring tbs
north for the purpose of giving eve
ry section of the state an opportunity
to cooperate with the bureau. He
spoke entertaingly at the Chamber OF
Commerce luncheon Tuesday noon
telling the members of the progress
made by the bureau since his appoint
ment to the office.
Evidence of the value of the farm
markets bureau was forcibly demon
strated by Mr. Scholtz while here this
week He called attention to an in
cident relative to state assistance in
the distribution of farm products in
which members OF the university fac
ulty were interested.
Director Scholtz, held number of
conferences with various members of
the faculty relative to the work OF
his office. All appreciated the possi-
bilities for benefit to both producers
and consumers which the operation of
the law Afforded, and cited numerous
instances right in Moscow where it
was impossible to get certain com
modities to advantage, while other
sections tributary to Moscow were
suffering for lack of a satisfactory
market. Why, just to show you how
badly we are in need of better dis
tribution here in the north,' remark
ed one of the professors, Il might
mention the apple situation. Just re-
Gently l had some friends visiting me
from our neighboring community of
Lewiston, who advised me that they
had apples going to waste, good ap-
pies for which they could not find
a profitable market while here in
Moscow the merchants tell me they
are unable to ship in apples at prices
that permit themsto make the consum-
er the figure he believes he is entitled
to-"
Other members of the faculty agreed
that this portrayed the situation right
Iy, and that they also would like to
secure some good apples at right |
prices Later in the day Mr.. Scholtz
visited Professor Vincent, head Of the !
horticultural department and learned
that the department was offering for |
sale from the college experiment orch !
ards good apples, Of choice standard |
varieties, at from Is cents to one dol |
lar per box. Mr.. Scholtz then again
hunted up the apple-hungry profess
sors and told them, to their surprise,
where they could get the fruit at
prices. Result: Producer
and consumer brought together to
their mutual benefit.
Mr. Scholtz left for Spokane yester-
day from where he will go into Koot-
enai and Bonner counties investigat
ing crop and marketing conditions and
to hold a number of meetings with
farmers.

termine the fate OF all mankind; and
the Scriptural sentence to which Mr..
MELIsH refers as a lie was simply the
eloquent expression Of an old time
mourner who felt he must needs bow
to the Almighty Power which creates
life and decrees it's end. What useful
purpose liz served by trying to deprive
these words Of the comfort and solace
they have afforded to thousands?
The Characterization Of this portion
Of the burial service as a falsehood
by n Of the clergymen in a great
church Is certain to be long and pain
fully remembered by all who heard
1t or have read 1t. Ills declaration
shocks the religious sense. weakens
the hold Of the church upon the PEG.
pie, and Is destructive Of that faith
which 1t should be the purpose Of the
ministry to strengthen rather than
TO destroy.
But the address Of Mr.. MELIsH IL
something more than merely shocking.
II manifests the most extraordinary
idea Of the extent to which sanitary
legislation may be made operative
upon individuals. The Legislature
cannot 60 into every mans house and
compel him to keep 1t clean. The
limit Of the proper exercise Of the 20
lice power was reached when the law
prescribed the sanitary conditions
which must be observed In tenement
houses. No sensible person has yet
proposed that the health autlprities
shall enter private dwellings to pre-.
ven the existence Of conditions which
cause typhoid fever.
Even when women vote State in
tervention will hardly go as far as
that. Some safeguards must be left
to the good sense Of the people them
selves. 1t is unfortunately true that
many people In a great city prefer to
he dirty rather than clean; but it Is
better that they should be free In this
respect than to he compelled by law
TO wash themselves. We hear a great
deal in these days about safety first.
but there Is Il more important proverb.
and that Is freedom first.
We wish that the Rev. ]. HOWARD
MELIsH had not said that there was n
lie in the burial service.
