VACATION SCHOOLS IN FAVOR Midsummer Education and Play Supplies a "Long Felt Want." VERTICAL HANDWRITING ON THE WANE Knni'j- IMtienllou for the I'en nt the llxpenhe of the Alnn Textile TrnlnliiK In .Neu Knulnnd Ildtlf ntloniil .No ten. Vacation schools, Inaugurated as a private venture a. few years ago, have become public Institutions In several cities nnd ap pear to fulfill a genuine "long felt want " In New York City accommodations were provided for 6,000 pupils and 20,000 boys and girls applied for admission. tloston, l'hlln delphla and Chicago report tho supply of puplll eager to enter schools far In oxroas of the schools provided. I.nst year these cities started vacation schools as an experi ment. The results obtained nnd the In creased demand Indicate they v. Ill become a fixture, for which provision musi bo made on a more liberal scale. The syMom in vogue In Chicago differs radically from the regular school routine. Everything Is play and only In Its results can tho efforts of tho tarher be seen. "It Is like going to a big playroom," cays the turonicie. "wbore fifty children are turned looite with nothing but their entertainment In view. And yet tho children In these playrooms learn to cook, to sew. to model clay, to make furniture and to do n thou sand and one useful things. The readlnc. writing and arithmetic are asides, which. nevertheless, nro primary studies In the scnoois and nluays considered carefully. i nn tjov who makes a bench must be able to figure Its dimensions nnd to make the drawings for (he work. In the same way tho girl who makes a loaf of bread must bo ablo to write the recipe for the loaf and to rend tho cook book from which It Is taken. Tho children say It Is Just like piny, and yet, wnen considered In Its true light. It In very much like work. The fact that the ehil. drcn cannot tcengnlze the work In It makes its recreation Just ns bcneliclal ns piny with out an object. 'To bo sure, (ho many objects for which the vacation school Is created and adorned differ hs widely as the peoplo to whom It Is of Interest, in the first place. In the Chi cago vacation schools there arc the philan thropists who havo established tho schools as a refuge for little children from (he In fluences of the streets. In the second place, there nre tho mothers and fathers of the children, who have accepted tho help of mo scnooi as ft solution to tho problem of where to put the children during the work ing hours of the day. In the third place, thero are the children themselves, who have entered Joyfully Into the spirit of the thing because of the exreptlon.il opportunities to play It has offered." Vertical HniidM rltliiK. The vertical stylo of penmanship, a fad Introduced in various public schools In (he past few years, Is rapidly losing public favor. The school boards of New York City and Chicago have abolished It and rcMored an Improved style of nlant writ ing. The chief reason for adontlne the vertical system was hygienic. It was claimed that under (ho old system pupils assumed awkward and unhealthful positions In writing, that curvature of the spine, Im pairment of the vision and other physical Ills resulted from these habits, The vertical system permitted those who pructlced It to assume a natural position, but It was slower than tho other. Now, however. It Is claimed that a system of sant ,wrtlng has been evolved which permits health, speed and legibility to be combined. Tho new system of handwriting, approved by the school board of New York City, may bo described ns a compromise In which is sought to bo retained the good points of both. Tho old writing had a slant of 3S degrees from the vertical and S2 degrees from tho horizontal. Its letters Avero all narrow and high, three spaces being allowed for tho highest letters and tho same below tho lino for the sub-line letters. The vortical writing introduced about four yeats ago had aa characteristics besides Its absence of slant tho broad and moderately high lotters. The new style will retain tho broad letters and moderate height of tho vertical style, but will bo started from 20 to 25 degrees from the vertical, Mnklntt SeliooU Top-Ileiiv)'. Prof. Schoenrlcb of Baltimore, In a sug gestive paper read before tho National German-American Teachers' association, ro cently In session In Philadelphia, said: "A grave danger threatening the public school systems of our country Is tho ten dency of making thorn top-henvy. Only too frequently tho main energy Is directed to tho development of the high schools; by their results the schools systems of the different cities are frequently Judged and consequently tho schelulo of tho lower schools points up to tho high schools and not out Into actual life." Tnktng the above quotation for a text, the Philadelphia Ledger comments editori ally as follows: "Tho great, original pur poso of tho common school system was to glvo pupils a well grounded, practical edu cation, and to this end thorough Instruc tion should bo given In the lower grades In the fundamental branches, upon which foundation tho student may build such an educational t'uperstructuro as his special needs, Inclination and environment may re quire. Tho destiny of an overwhelming ma jority of publlo school pupils throughout tho country Is not the university, the col lege, nor even tho High school, which Is tho capstone of tbo common school system. In tho last report of the United States commissioner of education th.3 attendance In tho various olonientary school grades and In the high schools of twenty-four typical American cities is exhibited to Il lustrate how rapidly attendance falls off In tho higher grades, nnd how small a propor tion passes through the high schools. Kin dergartens, ninth grammar grades and nor mal BChooU aro omitted. In tho first year's work of thtso twenty-four cities 211,070 pupils wore enrolled. In the eighth year's work tho number had dwindled lo 33,913. Tbo total enrolled in eight elementary grudos was 874,773, and In the high schools only 47,251. Tho commissioner says that tho steady decreaso In tho actual number Is relatively so small that mortality may be eliminated In considering tho causes of the falling off In school attendance. Philadel phia Is one of the twenty-four typical cities mentioned In the commlacloncr's report. Tho total number of pupils enrolled In all the schools on tho date, December 31, 1S07, was 143,381. Of these 139,000 were enrolled In kindergarten and elementary schools, and 4,342 were cre,dltrl to high schools. Tor Chicago the figures weiJ: Elementary schools, 182,165; high schools, 7,547 "The relatively small number of pupils able to attend high schools gives force and significance to Prof. Schoenrlch's criticism that the public school system of the country li 'top-heavy,' and tho thp curriculum of tho lower schools 'points up lo the high schools and not to actual life.' Common experience, as well as tho quoted school statistics, shows that the great mass of pub lic school children enter upon tho practical business of making a living, graduate Into 'actual life,' without higher training than that received in the lower schools. To over load tho curriculum of these schools with fads which trench upon the time, the very precious time, which should be devoted to thorough drill In the fundamental branches ot knowledge Is to deprive the vabt majority of the school population of their rights. It Is evident (hat there Is god ground f Prof Schoenrlch's criticism that the mal energies of the school systems of the cnun try aro too often directed to the develop ment of the high schools at tho cost r diminished opportunities fcr the very many thousands of boys and girls who. for out reason or another, cannot grasp high school privileges. The tenetlency to crowd th curriculum with too many studies, the man Ifrat lack of school accommodations for pupils In the lower grades In the grea cities, accompanied by the most elaborate provisions for tho high schools, are dlrec lions in Vhlch tho professor's remarks are very applicable. In striving to bring tbt higher education within reach of all there Is danger that tho foundation teaching may be neglected." Textile Cdiieallon In c llnnlnnd The New Hodford Textile school Is the outcoiie largely of the development of the cotton manufacturing Interests In the south as well as of the Kuropean example and en terprlse In textile education, says a writer In the Review of Reviews. The far-seelns manufacturers of New Knglatid foresco the tlmft when the manufacture of the cheaper and coarser goods must from economic ad vantages be pre-empted by the siuth, and have seized tho opportunity to take an ad vance step. The whole trend of the textile Industry In New Kngland today lo towaid tho production of liner nnd more artistic ina terlal, fcr which Is required skillful nnd Intelligent workmanship of the highest grade, such as special textile training In a well equipped Institution may be ex pcetod to provide. Though competition with the south In cotton manufacture li a comparatively new feature 111 the textile Industry, It Is not feared, but rather hailed, by the wise manu facturer for lUi bearing on national pros pcrlty. The advance of the south In this direction Involves a broadening of tho whole Industry, an expansion of foreign commerce nnd n growth In our exports of manufactured good. It Is a fact that only one-third of tho raw cotton now produced remains In the country: the other two- thirds go lo Orcat Britain and other Euro pean countries, (o he rnenufacdired and by them exported In various directions. With southern mills for conifer products and northern mills for finer grades the United States may be extceted to take Its plsyo bcBldo the larger exporting countries of tho world. tierniiiit ' .Superior Sehoolx. Tho eollego man," sayp Prof. Hugo Mun- sterberg In the Atlantic, "who specializes In political economy or philosophy or chem istry from his freshman year kriws, In his special field, far more than any ono of us knew, but If we take a composite picture of all seniors tho boy who leaves the gym nasium Is not nt a disadvantage In the comparison of Intellectual physiognomy, while he Is, of course, far lesa matme ac cording to his much lower age. If any man in Dartmouth or Amherst takes his bachelor's degree with that knowledge In mathematics, history, geography, litera ture. Latin, Creek, French, or physics which wo had on lenvlng school he Is nuro to grnduate with honors. Our going to tho university can thus be compared merely with tho entrance Into the post-graduate courses. Our three highest gymnasium classes alone correspond to the college, nnd whoever comparew tho German uni versity with tho eollego Instead of the grad uate school Is misled cither by the age of the students or toy the external forms of student life nnd Instruction. 1 know It would bo wrong to explain our being three years ahead of n New England boy merely from the scholarly preparation of our teachers. A second factor, which Is hnrdly less Importnnt, stnnds clear before my mind, too; tho help which the school found In our homes. 1 do not mean that wo were helned In our work, but he teachers wcro silently hcipod by the spirit which pre vailed In our homes with regard to tho school work. The school had the right of way; our parcnto re-enforced our belief In tho work and our respect for tho teachers; a reprimand In school was a shadow on our home life; a word of praise In the school was a ray of sunBhlno for the house hold. The excellent school books, the wlso piano for tho upbuilding of the ten years' course, tho hygienic care, the external stimulations, have all, of course, helped toward the results; and yet I am convinced that tl.elr effect was entirely secondary compared with those two features, tho scholarly enthusiasm of our teachers and the renpect for the school on the part of our parents."
