TEACHERSARE IN SESSION
 AT SPOKANE

SPOKANE, April -four present high school curriculm is cluttered with. all sorts of subjects that give knowledge about themselves, but that have never proved their usefulness in life," said J. R. Jewell, deal of the University of Arkansas in an address here today before meeting of the h. land Empire Teachers association. He said in part:
 "The present high school curriculm is the shelter of many subjects that have never been able to give better reason for their existence. Worse, it is the shelter of the poorest teaching we have, namely, teaching about cer- tain subjects instead of an enlivened teaching of the subject. The poorest course I have ever had myself was labelled botany It was mislabeled, however, for it was a course about botany and not of botany. l suspect that English is the most poorly taught subject in our secondary schools and that augmentation is the most poorly taught division of that subject, though exposition would give it a hard race for last place. That is because the average teacher teaches about exposi- tion or augmentation and does not
 
 Not long ago I visited famous classical high school in an Eastern city, and in an English room saw list of forty dates in Chaucer's life given a class to commit to memory. Knowledge, again, as dry as dead mems bones. The poorest single reel tation I ever saw in a certain great state in one of tho better high schools where a teacher consumed almost the whole period discussing before the class whether or not Grey knew what he was about when he made the sec end line of his Elcgy in a Country Churchyard read the lowing herd winds slowly OCT the lea," instead of 'wind'-in short, whether or not herd is a collective noun and so takes singular verb.
 Worse than all else today, false emphasis on knowledge has brought about an equally false distinction be- tween so-called Glasses" who know, and so-called masses who perhaps have not so much knowledge, but who are the doers in this work-a-day world of ours It is this theory of education ttat is at the bottom of much of our social unrest.
 But we have made progress, for it is now the accepted belief that manual training, we'll taught makes for good habits, of thought, and here it finds it's excuse for existence rather than as preparation for a life of carpentry, which it certainly is not.

The list of pupils transferred from
the white public grade schools to the
high schools, as announced yesterday
by Assistant Superintendent of Schools
Stephen Z. Kramer. is somewhat
smaller than usual. according TO Mr..
Kramer. The usual number ranges
from 500 to $50.
The relatively small number of pu-
pills graduating from the grade schools
this year is. believed to be due to the
fact that so many pupils left school
to go to work.
In the list published today are the
names of 740 pupils who will go to the
