THE EDUCATIONAL FADDISTS

There seems to be a concerted effort the part of
educators to get away from everything that snacks OF
antiquity in the matter Of educational methods. At
meeting of 1000 teachers in Colorado not long ago. John
NJ Francis superintendent Of the public schools of
Columbus, Ohio, is reported as saying, among lot Of
other stuff that electrified the audience that the three
Rs must GO Of course the three rudments OF reading
writing and arithmetic do not amount to much in the
opinion of some educators and the results Of their teach
ing in the shape of bad spelling poor writing and lgnor
ance of arithmetic painfully apparent in many cases
Just what this especial faddst would substitute tor at
etic is not stated neither it told what he would have
the children learn in place Of writing nor does he explain
how they are be educated if they do not learn to read
Yet these are the things this teacher Of the young would
do away with. If reading is not learned how can any any
thing else in the way of knowledge be acquired? The
educational faddist in the saddle and will continue to
ride until dsgusted parentage takes him by the slack
of his intellectually and throws him out.

husband aforesaid was present This caused the husband
to become suspicious, and he then remembered that on
