Dr. Eliot on Education.

Dr. Eliot says: “The practise of England and America is literally centuries behind the precepts of the best thinkers upon education." Is it not humiliating that an American is forced to make such an admission concerning our most vital American Institution?

What can be done? How can this wasteful school system be speedily remedied so that it fills its real function and sends, out into the world boys and girls developed according to their individual talents as far as those talents permit? It is a big question, but in my next article I propose to outline a rational, practical system of public education which will serve those ends. —Pictorial Review.
