Why the Schools Fail
Nv n. ADoiNcToN BRUCE,
Author OF The Riddle of Personality"
Psychology and Parcnthood." etc.

For a good many years there has been at
intervals bitter criticism OF the public school
especially much has been heard Of the break
down" OF the public schools.
In the words Of one distinguished critic:
THE public school In the panacea In which
are now waking up to the fact that II is not
doing the work we confidently expected II TO
do"
And another, still more distinguished. Presi-
dent Emeritus Eliot Of Harvard University. has
declared:
The schools have failed signally to cultivate
general intelligence This Is evnced by the
failure to deal adequately with the liquor prob
accompanied with violence, and by the persis-
tency OF the spoils system"
That this criticism is to some extent justi-
fled no candid observer deny.
But IL does not go 10 the root Of the matter.
The important point too often overlooked by
critics OF the schools is that however good a
school may be. 1T IS FOREDOOMED TO FAIL

Moreover. proper parents; cooperation means
that before sending children TO school. PAR.
ENTS MUST LOOK TO 1T THAT THE Chill
DREN SHALL HAVE RECEIVED A CAREFUL
PRELIMINARY HOME TRAINING IN THE
PRINCIPLES OF RIGHT THINKING AND
RIGHT ACTING.
Many parents unfortunately are dereIict in
this regard They seem to think that little need
mind until he reaches school age
Then they assume that the school can and
should mould the growing child according TO
an ideal pattern.
Possibly the school could do so, II the child
came TO II rs ABSOLUTELY RAW MATERIAL
The trouble is that, neglected though the child
may have been by his parents, HE is ALREADY
PARTLY FINISHED PRODUCT by the time
he gets To school.
He has acquired precisely because he has not
received preliminary home training, faulty
habits Of observing. OF Analysing. of Judging
He has acquired the habit OF being swayed more
by desire than by reason
For lack OF proper guidance. he may even
have acquired the habit of being chiefly In.

These habits the schools can never hope com.

First, he requests those who are
seated to get up and give chance to
those who have had to stand. Then,
looking sadly over the assembly and

so many unfortunates, in voice
shaking with emotion, he says: Eve

Striking is the appearance Of the

men, not a bad-looking lot Truly,
quite few are in tatters, others have
the marks Of dissipation written on
their faces. However, with the ma
jority the mark of misery and pinch
ing poverty is more in evidence. Sew

white collars, are noticeable. These
evidently were in the past working in
stores and offices, and since dis
charged from their employment
have made a heroic effort to keep up
appearance, for they know only too
well that unless they do so their

are gone. They, too, show plainly
