SCHOOL AND COLLEGE WORK
Some Defect in 'American Education
Call for Remedies.
IOWA COLLEGE LOSES TEACHERS
Better Compeuatlea Tempts Thesa te
Other lastltatleas For lg I'al
Tersltles and Opea Air Schools
neat tonal Notes.
President Stanley Hall of Clark uni
versity, Worcester, Mass., delivered an ad
dress on "Defects of American Education,"
before tha Century club In Chicago, last
Thursday. Tha chief defect pointed out
were:
There are not enough school days In the
ytar.
Teachers are poorly trained, not of a
high class and are sulferlng from dry
rot.
The control of American schools by ap-
E-ointlve boards means school management
y many incompetents.
The e is too much legislation concerning
education; If it were all enforced It would
lead to chaos.
The schools are suffering from femi
nization, with the result tout tha boys ar j
beioml4.g slssll.ea.
Ti.ere Is too much paternalisatlon In the
general management of schools.
there Is too much retardation. In that
too many children are behind grade.
Text-books are poor and are getting
worse constantly.
Children are not taught enough good,
pure Kuigllsu; they sre constantly tend
.ng to use ot "slanguage" father tlie.i
.anguage.
Mo. al education Is neglected, whereas
something of the kind is urgently needed.
The American public school child has
not the physiial stajnlna ot former times.
Despite lus criticisms, retorts the Record
Herald, President Hall was explicit in oe
claring his belief .that the weak points
of the present sstem, as he sees them,
will be remeuled in lime. He oi.a. acterisud
himself as an optimist concerning the
school 8) stem of tiie Un.ted States.
In part President Hall spoke a follows:
Our American schools keen only 191 davs
out of the year. This is ail too llltie. So
much leisure time is unfortunate In lis ei-
lect on the child, and there Is not very ,
much difference between tue long vacation,
and truancy on the boy or gin. out of tne
3,(JW,mAi children between the ages of 6
and 17 In this country, only 1S.6uo.iI0O are
enrolled In the scuuois. Of thoee enrolled
the average attendanco at sciiool by each
child Is but l' days yearly. Thus on any
given aay more man nail or our school
populattvn of school uge ia not In school.
The teaching force is so poorly paid In
America that we cannot expect to got a
very high olass of men and Women, taking
them as a whole. -
The average pay Is 155 monthly for men
and $42 monthly for women. The averagd
length of service hi less than four years.
Mny ot the teachers are not properly
trained and a very large proportion oi them
never go through their normal school. Tho
consequence of the existing condition is
that we have a poorly trained, poorly paid,
short-serviced corps of teachers, on whom
we rely to reileve the country of ignorance.
It has been well said that the teachers
are suffering from dry rot, Inasmuch, as
they leave their souls behind when they
enter the classrooms.
The control of many American school
systems Is vested In appointive boards.
Under this system the schools and teachers
often come under the rulo of Incompetents.
The feminization of the schools is a
matten for contemplation. Seventy-six per
cent ot the teachers in the United States
are women. Many boys go through school
without ever coming into contact with -a
male teacher, liy own eon, now In Har
vard, never had a mole teacher until he
went to college.
There Is a saccharine benignity as a re
sult of the feminization which Is not desir
able for boys. Boys should not become too
domesticated and slselfled. There Is some
thing wrong with a boy of 14 of whom It
can truthfully be said that he Is a perfect
gentleman. Hoys freed ft little roughness.
Children In these days are petted too much.
It may be asked "Whether or not there is
some oonrvecUuu anaweoa the softness with
which boys are treated at school and tne
outbreaks ot nooaiumism wnion are so fre
quent. Then there I the matter of text-book.
Text-books are not as good now a they
were ten year - ago. A prominent pub
lisher to.d me last summer that it Is impos
sible to publish a first-class text-book to
day. The demand la for text-books which
are padded, which have much explanation,
which are not too difficult. The modern
text-book reminds one of the making of
two ounces of soapSnto two hogsneads of
lather, which was the test once required
from would-be barbers.
As for English children are learning
how to evade it. They are allowed to fall
Into what has been called slanguage.
There is no moral education in the
schools. Surely this is a matter for thought
when Juvenllo crime is lncreas.ng, when
there is no and of murder and vice and
graft. There will probab.y be a revolution
on this point ot moral education.
EIHOPEAS rXIVEItSITIES.
Paris, Leads la N amber of Stadents,
vrlth Berlin Seooad.
Europe has now 12S universities, with a
total student body of 228,721. Next to Paris
and Berlin come In point of attendance
Budapest (6.664), Vienna (6,306), Moscow
(5,860), Madrled (5,196), Naples (4,818), St.
Petersburg (4,6i2).
The cost of maintaining the nine uni
versities of Prussia has increased from 1860
to 1906 from 9,850,000 to $40,080,000, or an in
crease of 213 per cent for regular expenses,
says the Independent. ' In addition new
buildings and the like have cost a further
fc;f020,000. Berlin alone requiring nearly
J7,t 00,000.'
Berlin Is fast becoming for Germany what
Paris is for France, the overwhelming cen
ter of university life. In addit'on to Us
S.220 matriculated students, about 7,00)

making a total of only 1,000 less than th
reports claim for Paris.
In general tho universities In the large
oenters of population increasingly attract
th greatest number of students In Ger
many. Munich has now 6,813 full students.
Lelpslc 4,241, Bonn t.Vii, while the smaller
university towns report no corresponding
growth. i
Even greater Is the growth of the tech
nological Institutes. There are ten of these
In Oermany with a total enrolment of 10.790
matriculated students. Through the Influ
ence of th kaiser these schools have now
been placed on an equality with the uni
versities. Th woman contingent Is now 1824 In the
cnlversitles, of whom SW are matriculated.
In 19rH) the number was only 604. Naturally
Berlin leads with TH, but no Prussian uni
versity will matriculate a woman or admit
her to examinations. This right she has
In all but Rostock, In Mecklenberg.
The number of students In the Italian unt-
ersltlesaccordlng to late statistics. Is 27.-
100, while In 1S93 it was only 21,870. so that
.there are now eighty students to every
lOO.oflO Inhabitant. The greatest lncreas
Is In the law department, from E 690 In ISM
to 9,424, wliile rather remarkable, the med
ical department has gone back from 6,521
to 4,731 during these years.
OPEX AIR SCHOOLS.
Experiment In London Ha Proved a
Great Saeeeaa.
London Is experimenting with open-air
schools. Thsy are for poor children, their
session Is from June 1 to October 31, and
they ar proving a success.
Th beginning wss mad last summer
and was purely experimental. Th author)
tie mad a grant of 400 to ee how the
thing worked. They have Increased the
appropriation for next summer to 2,000
and three schools will be established.
Each school will accommodate seventy
five children, divided Into three classes of
twenty-five each. The ataft will consist of
una head teacher, three assistant teachers,
a nurse, cook and helper and a Janitor.
Of. course there ar buildings which ar
occupied a part of each day, as wall In
pleasant as In unpleasant weather, but un
less the weather s hopelessly bad almost
all the time Is spent In the open air. A
blackboard on an easel Is set up on the
grass and the chair of the pupil are
grouped before It.
The children are small and the course
cf study Is light. There are games, too.
calisthenics, nature study In the open, and
the results ot all these in physical Im
provement are said to be very gratifying.
The' children have ths-lr meals on the
premise and spend the entire day there.
IOWA STATE COLLEGE.
Meager Salaries Responsible for Loss
of Maay Professor.
The resignations of members of the In
structional force at the Iowa State college.
Ames, has during the last two years betn
most serious. During the biennial period
ending June 30 last more than forty prof
fessors and Instructor tendered their
resignations to the board of trustees be
cause of additional compensation offered
elsewhere or because of greater opportuni
ties presented for Individual work In other
lima.
The question of salaries In an Institution
such as this Is a perplexing one. While It
is to be expected that a certain number uf
resignations will occur within a given period
and transitions from one Institution to an
other will be more or lsss frequent, the
losses which Iowa State college haa suf
fered within the last two or three year
have been out of all proportion to any
normal standard. The fact seems to be that
other Institutions are In the habit of look
ing to us for well trained men. They are
paytng better salaries than we do and we
have been unable to prevent the withdrawal
from Iowa of some of Its most valuable
men because we could not advance a few
hundred dollars in salary.
The report of the trustees further cites
the fact that during the last few months
every man iu a certain department of the
college with one possible exception received
offers from other colleges and from com-
morelnt lines nf wnrk tn talc tin work else-
wh-p. 1, .,i.rip- rnln from I30O to tl 000
wner" " ' ranging irom ijw to ii.uw
1" advance of the salaries now being paid,
. The trustees further say: "If the college
t(1 mftintttn Its standard and Brestla-o It
w to malnta,n 118 "tnuara ana prestige u
must maintain its efficiency, and this can
only be done by a much more adequate
provision for our teaching force. Among
the sixty-six institutions of learning in this
country classified by the trustee of the
Carnegie foundation on the basis of salaries
paid their professors Iowa State college
does not appear In the list because the
salaries paid are less than In any of these
sixty-six Institutions. We do not be'llev
that the state of Iowa can afford to lose
Us men to other states no better able to
compensate for their services than Iowa
and needinp-them no more than Iowa."
The management of the Iowa State col
lege keenly appreciate the situation and
believes that It can only be met by provid
ing additional compensation. The 75.000
asked for 'additional support Is intended
for this purpose and additional expenses
Incurred by Increased attendance.
Plar.s are being p.rfected for making the
winter's sport course the biggest thing of
the kind ever held at this place.
A new feature la the short course In
poul'ry management. The. popularity of
the regular poultry department In the col
lege has made It seem advisable to add
this to the lines of work offered at the
short course.
Another rcw feature I the course In seed
breeding and management, this will be
open only to students who have attended
two previous sessions. It will take up the
method of handling seed and plant breed
ing in a comprehensive manner.
The regular course will be given as
usual. The animal husbandry department
has secured a large, amount of first class
stock to supplement that on the college
farm. In addition to the Judging work
lectures on conformation and soundness
and animal diseases will be given. Lec
tures on animal feeding will also comprise
part of the course. The agronomy de
partment will continue their work In grain
Judging, together with lectures on farm
management.
The horticultural, soils, and ainicuituroi
engineering departments win give a num-
ber of lectures along their respective lines,
Work on butter making and factory man-
agement, together with farm dairying will
be given, by the dairy department. To in
terest and Instruct the women and girls,
the domestic science department offer
their usual line of work In cOokery, sewing
and home management.
