GET RID OF THE FADS.
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-

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. Th s
