is to see something and then be able to describe

"The band will make the West Point trip." This

approximately $-l,ouO of the necessary $5,000 had
been raised to finance the trip to the Army game.

should mean lower prices for social affairs and ;

In the public service, a service
which may be rich with honors, but
poor in providing for the material

provision for pensioning the presi

3. Neglect In lower grades.
4. Reaction to grammar as taught years ago.
5. Entrance of the personal factor In high
school teaching,
The first stated reason wili be one of the most
difficult to remedy. Approach to an Immediate
solution Is not palpable. It Is beyond human possi
bility for the average high school instructor to cor
rect, say 200 papers five times a week, and to meet
all classes five days of the week. To teach the
fundamentals of better English grammar, the teacher
must wade through the papers of each pupil in
dividually. Those papers must be corrected and
returned regularly. In that routine only Improve
ment is tied up. This factor must be pounded down
therefore to a modicum of importance by remedial
measures on the other four points.
"I'll let Miss so-and-so take this extra clasB of
English," surmises many a high school superinten
denl. And perhaps the college training that the
teacher has had Is in history, or sociology, or per
haps French. And so the story goes. Hut just as
a blacksmith makes a poor Jeweler, so a history

have definite and tangible alms, the striving for
which would give increased zest for life; to regard
leaching as an opportunity for inspiration. And
then he said something about students that applies,
eaually well, to everyone. lie remarked:
"I am not so much concerned over the In- ;
telU-ctual capneity of a student a I am over
his application and his inside driving power.
The tragedy of life Is not the lack of Intelligence,
but the Inertia lhat leaves people using only 2,rt
per cent of their powers. (Hie of the constant
problems of I lie Instructor Is to awaken on the
part of the student this consuming desire and
determination to make of h'mself something In
the world." i
If one were measuring causes of failure, In any
line of endeavor from dltt h dlgglng to teaching ln
college, the principal one of all would probably bn
this Inertia of which Chancellor Burnett speaks.
There Is another word for It, and that Is laziness.

that line of work.
The answer to the charge of neglect In the
lower grades ln grammar drill Is perfectly obvious.
An alert high school superintendent, or Junior high
school principal, can detect Inefficient Instruction,
if be searches for It. Grammar must be pounded
and U'Jnmered upon year after year as the student
goes through school.
As for the reaction to academic and hidu-bouiid
devotion to teaching methods of grammar a few
years ago, that has almost come about. The old
