Chicago is enjoying a scrap in the city schools over the (juestion of re modeling the course of study. An ef fort is being made to get rid of the fads and frills of the modern school methods and get back to the fundamentals. "We need a change and a radical one," said John V. Farwell, president of the John V. Farwell Company. "I find it almost impossible, in Chi cago, to get a young man who can write a letter that is grammatical and well One doesn't want corres pondence to go out of a business house that is not in the proper form and con sequently we have to exercise a con tant supervision over our men." What Mr. Farwell said of the schools of Chicago is true of ninety-nine per cent of the sihools of the whole coun try. The writer has for more than twenty years felt the sore need of the training he did not get during the eight or ten years of his public school train- f V ? ? ? ? ? ; phrased t ? ? ? ? ? ? Y ti ing, and the schools are doing even less t ? ? ? t t ? ? ? ? t I for the boys and girls today than they did in our school days. The public schools then and now fail to teach the boys and girls how to study, how to think and how to memorize. Concen tration of the mind upon a single sub ject to the exclusion of all others is the powerful faculty in study and learning. Below we give nn extract from an editorial in the Chicago Kecord-Herald that applies to all our public schools as well as to the public schools of that city. "Hut they and all of us may well pay attention to some of the things that the president of the board of edu cation says Here, for example, is p sentence that contains a thought that should be fundamental in educational work; "When a pupil leaves the schools he ought to read, write and spell automatically as he eats." He should have had the advantage of a drill as thorough as that which is given a student of n musical instrument by an expert teacher. What he is gettirg or should bo getting is something w- TliK national peace congress in its resolutions urgently requests the Presi dent and the Congress of the United States to take the initiative, so far as practicable, in an endeavor to complete the work of the second Hague con ference in various directions, and especially to secure "an agreement among the military and naval powers for a speedy arrest of the ruinous com petition in armaments now prevail ing." This competition is often decribed as if it provided the one certain method of securing peace. Hut the congress was right in saying: "That the prevailing rivalry in armaments, both on sea and land, which imposes such exhausting burdens of taxation on the people, and is the fruitful source of suspicion, bit ter feeling and war alarms, is wholly unworthy of enlightened modern na tions, is a lamentable failure as a basis of enduring peace and ought to be ar rested by agreement of the powers without delay." Kach nation may justify itself for its part in the competition so long as the competition lasts, but it is doing more no at than all other causes combined, to provoke distrust and enmity between nations, iioth on this account and be cause of the burden it puts upon the people it should be stopped, and a com prehensive peace agreement would take a vay all reason and exc isc for it.
