"Swat the Eggs
Better Than
"Swat the Fly

"CWAT the fly" is a good warcry'
- but it is like locking the stable
after the horse is stolen. There
is better one, Swat the eggs Prob
ably every magazine and newspaper
in the United States printed last sea-
son from one to score of arrangements
of the common housefy-the disease
breeder, the typhoid fly. the infantile
paralysis fly; in word. the twentieth
century pest. an enemy of mankind.
Swat the fly" has become the slogan
of the day.
For every fly killed In June there will
be 10000 less in July. 100000 less
in August and by September the
most ambitious boy. eager to- earn the
prize for the greatest number of flies
killed, couldn't possibly lift the progeny
of this single fly which escaped him i'll
the springtime. All very true, but
where will all those flies lay their eggs
and rear their precious babies? Can
we find the nests, can we destroy them
by wholesale. the larvae or the eggs?
We can, easily and cheaply and every
city with ordinary regulations may be-
come fyless town. Flies breed In
filth, and if you get after those places
it will save lot of swatting later on.
Our government has carried on an
extensive experiment with manure
piles and the eggs which each female
fly deposits therein by the thousand
and has found the remedy. 1t is Ordi-
nary borax, one of the commonest and
cheapest OF minerals, produced in
abundance in the United States, and 1t
takes very little to make the fly egg
quite worthless as future fly. Borax
costs about cents q pound, and the
crude borax mineral. colemanite, con-
siderably less, while three-fifths of
pound sprinkled through ten cubic feet
about eight bushels-of manure will
kill 90 per cent of the eggs and mag
gots of the fly.

are all equally available. They
ought to be used unconventionally
and resourcefully in order that his
| real interest in books may be car
, ried as far and as high as is for him
possible and in this effort, the meth
DDS pursued should be calculated to
develop his interest and his taste, not
to train his mind or to make of him
a make-believe literary scholar.
"A man educated in the modern
sense will forego the somewhat
doubtful mental discipline received
from formal studies; he will be con-
tentedly ignorant of things for learn
ing which no better reason than ira
dition can be assigned Instead, his
education will be obtained from stu
dies that serve real purposes. It's
content, spirit, and aim will be real
istic and genuine, not formal. The
man educated in the modern sense
will be trained to know, to care
about. and to understand the world
he lives in, both the physical world
and the social world.
1t is true, as the author points out,
that considerable difficulty would be
met with in getting such an expert
ment under way on account of the lack
of textbooks and suitably trained
teachers, but there can be no doubt
in the minds of people who have Civ
en- any serious thought and study to
the relation of our educational de-
vices to the everyday affairs of life
that such an experiment as is suggest
ed would be the beginning of a new
era in education.

THE MODERN SCHOOL"

MOT only do American children a
or power through the traditional cur
riculum-they spend an inordinatel,
long time in falling according tt
Abraham FleXner, assistant secretary
of the General Education Board, which
invites expressions of opinion as tt
the desirability and feasibility of al
educational experiment based upon
the ideas set forth in paper by Mr.
FleXner, which says in part:
Aside from reading, writing
spelling and figuring, the curriculum
of the modern school would be built
out of actual activities in science, in
dustry. aesthetics, civics The work
in science would be the central and
dominating feature.
THE curriculum includes nothing
for which an affirmative case cannot
I5v La made out. The Modern
School would drop the study of for
MAJ grammar For such evidence
as we possess points to the futility
of formal grammar as an aid to cor
rect speaking and writing.
a Modern School would not go
through the form of teaching chill
dren useless historic facts just be-
cause previous generations of chill
dren have learned and forgotten
them; and also the courage not to
read obsolete and uncongenial clas-
sizes, simply because tradition has
made this sort of acquaintance
kind of good form.
Neither Latin nor Greek would
of course. because their literatures
are less wonderful than they are re-
puted to be, but because their pres
ent position in the curriculum rests
upon tradition and assumption. A
positive case can be made out for
neither. 1t is useless to inquire
whether a knowledge of Latin and
mathematics is valuable. because
pupils do not get it; and it is equally
beside the mark to ask whether the
effort to obtain this knowledge is a
valuable discipline, since failure is
so widespread that the only habits
acquired through failing to learn
Latin or algebra are habits of Slip
shod work, of guessing and OF me-
chanical application of formulate, not
themselves understood
Languages have no value in them
selves: they exist solely for the pur-
pose of communicating ideas and
abbreviating our thought and action |
processes. If studied, they are val |
liable only in so far as they are
practically mastered-not otherwise; |
so at least the Modern School holds.
A school trying to produce re-
sourceful modern type of educated
man and woman would provide prac-
teal training in one or more mod
ern languages.
