Consider the subject of history ms

one credit. He chooses ancient his
tory because that gives him another
credit. AS result he learns nothing
of history between the fall of Rome

Play Element"
The widely hcralded play ele-
ment" in education is not wholly APP
proved by DR.. Stcinmetz. Although
favoring anything that will develop
and hold the interest of pupils, he
says;
when we first get the public
school products ut the General Flee
trio Works, we often find that it
takes two or three years for them to
acquire concentration and indus
trousncss-ii they acquire it at all.
Children educated to do everything
by play would have a hard time
adapting themselves to hard work.
"rhe important thing to keep sight
of is that schools primarily are run
to supply education and not to en-
able students to get credits. Cen
lralizatiou under federal control
would make American schools what
they should he-the best in the
