SYSTEM DECLARED WRONG AND INSTRUCTION POOR.

Do the High Schools Prepare Pupils For Colleges and Universities, Rather Than for Life? High school education throughout the United States was branded as “generally bookish, scholastic, abstract and inadequate to meet the practical problems of life,” in the report submitted recently to the national council of education of the National Education association, in session in Chicago.

“The whole trouble with our high school education,” declared David Felmley, president of the State Normal school at Normal, 111., in reading the report, “is that it is regarded too much as merely a preparation for the university. Instead of dealing with the problems of today the students are taught to deal with the language, politics and customs of fifteen centuries ago. Nearly all the high school teachers are graduates of colleges, who have no adequate knowledge of affairs outside of colleges. Their teaching is, therefore, bookish, scholastic and abstract

“We need a change of aim in high school teaching, a look in thf direction of the farm, shop and home. While we do not recommend an education entirely vocational, we urge a departure from the college idea. “We also think more attention should be given to the training of teachers from among high school pupils,” concluded Mr. Felmley.

The conclusion of the committee that more prgressive methods should prevail in high schools was based on inquiries among 120 normal institutions, all of which reported that high school pupils who wished to teach had not been adequately prepared for their work.

We will have this week 's car load of fancy Alberta peaches in bushel baskets from the same place and the same orchard in Texas that we had two years ago and that gave such universal satisfaction. JOHN EGER
