says. derive more benefit from educa-

because the former are obliged TO cx-
crcise powers of accurate observation
and manual dexterity outside of school.
Changes which should be made I'M
medistely in :he programme Of Ameri-
can secondary schools" he continues,
"to correct the glaring deficiencies Of
the present programme are chiefly the
