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 llowr Heine Was Lou.
