~ ONE OF the suggestions Of
teachers In response to the
~ request OF Superintendent
O'Shea for advice concerning
the elimination Of dead wood"
from the public school curricu-
lum OF Kew York city, seem to
me no less regrettable than sur.
prising.
Among them. as reported. !
find this: I'm geography, drop
longitude and time"
You might as well say: When
building a house, leave out the
foundations! i suppose no teacher
would think of telling his or
her pupils that the earth is q
plane, and imlnovable-unless ins
deed the fiat earthists" have
insinuated their propaganda into
the very temple Of knowledge.
How, then, can the ideas Of
longitude and time be dropped
from instruction in geography,
when they are the most funda-
mental consequence OF the fact
that the earth 10 a globe rotating
on its axis2
The teaching Of geography
ought to begin with a globe. and
and not with a map. Every
schoolhouse ought to have
large globe rotating continually
on its axis to represent wildly,
UNANIMOUSLY, and unforgetably,
for the benefit Of every child in
the school. what it Is that we
are living on.
With such simple apparatus
longitude and time would explain
themselves. Even members OF
the infant class could then see
why 1t Is s o'clock in the morn
ing at New York when it Is noon
at London, and a. m. at Den
yer when 1t Is q. m. at New
York. But think of CHASING
such knowledge, the very soul
of geography, as dead wood,
and shutting it out from the cur
riculum of a public school!
Earth As Clock.
It Is impossible to teach q pupil
that the earth Is q rotating globe
without introducing longitude and
time. The rotating earth Is the
mother Of all clocks, and their
only regulator, and that Is one Of
the earliest things that q child
should learn in school. Let his
map studies come afterward, when
they will not mislead him, But
how Is he to understand even q
map II he knows nothing about
longitude. and latitude, and the
progression Of day around the
world?

GARRETTP. SERVISS DEFINES
DEAD WOOD" IN SCHOOLS
Teaching of Longitude and Time Vital to Knowl-
edge Of Earth's Nature.

Among other alleged dead
wood" listed for elimination from
public school teaching In the
American metropolis, find this:
In arithmetic omit what one
fraction one number IL Of an.

No doubt the teachers task hi

there are stupid pupils. Never

side nor stupidity on another

above are elemental and funda-

but II the treatment IL unsatis-
factory the remedy IL TO change

Anyhow, do not send the pupils
BILE of learning, away in ignorance.
Metric System.
It Is no reply to say that they
may get these things in the high
schools. for many viii never reach
the high schools. and even r they
do the neglect of fundamentals IN
the lower grade will hamper them,
The child that has studied goog.
raphy without longitude and time
in the public school will. on enter
ing the high school find that his
acquired knowledge was given
wrong end foremost.
Possibly the worst suggestion
in the whole lot is that the metric
system should be omitted ''till
adopted" That would. indeed,
kill hope that we shall ever have
the metric system in universal
use in this great country. which
has more calculations to make.
more work to do and more bust
ness to transact.
In a little address at the meet
ing OF the Metric Association In
connection with that of the
American Association for the Ad.
yancement OF Science in 1892, ]
ventured the well.received predic-
ton that we shall never have the
metric system adopted until II
has first been taught and used in
the primary schools. Besides, by
it's simplicity 1t would be an Inn
n1ense aid to children in acQuir-
ing q satisfactory knowledge Of
arithmetic.

This time they have signed for a
fifteen-rounder and the extra dis
lance may be all that Terris needs
to put Dundee on his back
Dundee has declined sharply in the
last year and when he and ferris
fought twelve rounds a few weeks
ago, the young Getto fighter s
straight right to the heart almost
stopped him. Three distinct times
that punch. which the old Dundee
would have withstood without a
tremor, caused his knees TO flutter
and brought lines of suffering to
his battered face.
Dundee has been knocked out only
once in his life and that time, in
1917, Willie Jackson caught him
with a right swing in a Philadelphia
bout that was to have gone six
fast rounds"
Two old fighters who went high
in the business have been beaten
by younger. stronger men in New
York rings within the last two
weeks. Mickey McTigue lost the
light heavyweight title TO Paul
Berlenbach and Tommy Gibbons
was stopped by Gene Tunney.
