I ® K?«Tto the November number of
2?nX American Review by Rev.
I SLXfcverett Hale. It is fair topre-
-That it will not be read with press-
**M£L Professional pedagogue or the
itv school superintendent.
iin,uthor of the article does not bo-
tot most of the changes in our
mrnnerof conducting schools, especially
^ Introduced by Horace Maun, have
E the nature of improvements He
“Sjr t0 tho "machine method” of
° b iHueting schools. He thinks that it
SSl in the loss of aU spontane-
Slrnd originality in the teacher. Thi
Krs who now stand highest in the
Sationof school boards and super
Sdeats simply know how “to run
Sthe machine.” A certain course is
»,,rtnd out for them, and they never
Sate from it. They never think of
Sng pnpilator usefulness in this
JJJff o? in the world to come, for that
matter but for the annual examination.
Mr kale is obviously of the opinion
that the present generation of boys and
eifw in New England, where he is best
acouainted, are not os well educated as
hA fathers and mothers were at the
mm period of life. Ho thinks the pres
et method of conducting schools is in
jurious to them in many ways. They
i-vo come to think that they aro of
mort importance to tho world than they
milt are. The requirements of school
m reut them from disehaiging any use-
}J] duties at homo. From tho time they
enter school till they leave it they aro
released from labor in any form. The
morel effect of this is very bad. C’hil-
thed should be taught vovy early in life
that it is their duty to labor for their
own support, that it is wrong for their
pircnts to do everything for them, and
[list they should make thomsolvos use
ful members of their families.
One of tho remedies proposed bjr Mr.
Male for tho cure of existing ovils is t,
go buck to the old plan of conducting
schools that prevailed before the educa
tional machine was put up and sot to
grinding. Ho would have boys and girls
stterd school half the yoar and engage
in industrial pursuits the other halt'.
By that means they would acquire a
knowledge of books and of many other
things besides. All girls could learn
housework, cooking, and the art of mak
ing and repairing clothes at home.
Boys could spend six months of every
yoar in learning trades, mastering come
kind of business, or doing office work.
The pupils who attend school one part of
the year could tako the places of those
who had been engaged in labor during
the same period. The cost of conduct
ing schools would, by this arrangement,
be reduced ono-half, and thoro would
be no occasion for building more school-
bonscs for many years.
Besides the saving in expense, thoro
would bo a positive gain. Parents
would have an opportunity of getting
acquainted with their own children.
They would direct their education in
the practical duties of life. Those who
desired and bud tho means to do so
could afford their children the oppor
tunity to acquire -many aocomplish-
uents during tho months they were out
n( school. Thoy would have amplo op
portunity for learning vocal and instru
mental music, drawing and painting,
dancing and swimming. Many poor
boys and girls could earn considerable
money during the six months they wore
out of school. By adopting tills plan,
there would bo less cause of complaint
about overpressure in schools, and a
umallcr number of sick children. Tho
number of branches now taught in
retools could bo greatly reduced, ns
children would mastor many of thorn

[San Francisco Argonaut]
“Hero in Franco,” wroto Holnrich
Heine, “my German name lleinrioh
was, immaiiately on my arrival in
Paris, translated into Henri. I had to
submit to it, and was finally obliged to
rail myself bo, because tho word Hein
rich does not suit a French ear, and be
cause tho French make everything as
comfortablo to themselves as possible.
Keen tho name Henri Heine can never
to pronounced quite correctly; most of
them call mo M. Enri Ennj many con
tract this into Enrionne, and some oven
jriye mo tho appellation M. Un Kicn,
This hurts mo in many ways, especially
with regard to my literary occupation;
«is, however, in another way a ncnollt
to mo. For instance, among my fine
rauntrymen who cone to Paris, there
are some who would like to caluminato

J>me in the German language, the
ireucli nevor even imagine that the
wkked fellow and poisonor of tho fovn-
