cannot easily be ignored during recitations in his
tory and geography and English literature.
The proposal of DR.. Eliot that pupils be taught
about the horrors of welfare has met with much
opposition, and perhaps deservedly Teachers might
not mpart much information Of value by confning
themselves to discussions of hardships, suferings
and atrocities connected with war, and it is not
impossible that they would in some instances be
partial in their treatment of such subjects. The
idea about giving children horror of war is well
enough, but the possibility that tactless handling of
the facts would bring on strife in school yooms
where there are children of different sympathies,
is not welcome one.
The best suggestion perhaps that has as yet been
made with regard to the teaching of war facts is
that instructors in history arrange their coursesso
as to teach their subject backward, tracing the
events which are now occurring in Europe back to
the original causes toward the dawn of history.
He must be considered a successful teacher who
can at this time show his pupils current happenings
in the light of previous events, who can combine
comprehensive review of the history of the present
with careful instruction in that of the past making
each subject of interest to the pupils because of
their knowledge of the other
