Prlmnry Teachers,
-w-tn: i:i:oi:tiAXi.ATiox
( I of our schools," "the rc-
JL modelling of the ptllillo
school syslem," "what
Is lo be done lo make the lower school
grade, lesulls more effective?" lire
phrases coming lo be more nnd more
ficfitieiitly heard In icccnt onrs. They
nre heard not In one community only,
but In n constantly Increasing number
of town, cities', and ruial school ills
tilcls. They nn he.itd not merely In
one sei lion of the land, but In ever
widening circles noith, cast and west.
Wheiever they are heard they Indi
cate a wholesome awakening to the
fact that the tialning nnd education
of the great mass of the children In
this republic Is it matter of pi limit y
liupot tnnce to the lepubllc. The sta
bility of government, the prospeilty of
the whole people, the uplifting of Hie
Ignoiant and of the degraded classes,
the general oiitreachlng to higher
Ideals, nnd their Inlluence In mould
ing the charader of citizenship, these
things depend for the futtite on what
the chlldien are nlded to be and to
become.
The icallratlon T theto tilings Is
what lias (iilekeiitd of Into a growing
eiltlclsm ol vciy many things In the
pit sent day system of public school
teaching. It Is not a nine fault-llnd-Ing
that Is coming to pass. It is a
criticism that has become painfully
aware of Inadequate results 111 even
the nc(tili fluent of knowledge still
tnoii so In the d 'velopment of mental
grasp, of fitness to grapple wllh the
conditions of life that met the pupil
as speedily a? th" school room Is left
behind.
How vtiv eaily this leaving of the
schtol loom behind ionn4 to a great
mi'jiulty of child! en seems to be tlt
teily unrecoanlzed by the 'professional
dlscusters of the situation. Them Is
t.o end of discussions o:i what should
be done In entrance examinations, In
elective courses of study, In 'shor-triii-il
or lengthened coutses, as rc
jrards colleges, und even high schools.
Once ir a while some novice is heard
reminding these edueatlon.il "expeits"
that nine-tenths of the young people
of this country get their whole edu
cation in the piinmiy and grammar
schools. A few hundicds, out of
many thousands who enter the pil
mniy grades, ever enter the high
schools of their town, city or dlstilet.
A decidedly large proportion of those
who have closed their school days be
foie the senior grammar guides could
be leached have never got beyond this
very lowest of the grammar school
grades. Their patents cannot afford
to give the m more than the tlrst few
;.cars. If a compulsory law Is so car
ried out as lo lake these chlldien Into
the school loom "until the ago of six
teen," it Is for but a few weeks of
each year and the lesults aie usually
ol small avail for the pupil's fuluie.
'Jheio are tluee things that need
ciitlic ie'isii,u in nemly oveiy part
of the country In order to meet this
state of affairs. The tiling Itself the
abbioviatlon of the enrs of study for
suih gieat nunibi rs of chlldien can
not be helped. There Is needed the
general and absolute coinpiehenslon
by the public and by school boards
that the vciy best teacheis are the
out s needed for the prlmaty grades
and lower gianmiar school grades. The
children who must giaduato from
these dhectly Into wage-eainlug will
only thus have the best that the pub
lic school can give them; und this best
they aie entitled to.
The other chlldien, those who are so
fortunato as to go on futthor wllh
school hludles, will have had their
minds so awakened by the very best
Instruction in the lower guides that
their own eagerness for knowledge will
help Immensely to carry them on in
puisult nf it. The woik of all their
Instructors fioni that time on will be
lightened und nldsd by their own en
thusiasm and cleaier peiecptlon of the
value of school,
The second tiling Indeid It Is jo
closely iclated to the Hist as to n
Interdependent Is the securing of
these best teacheis for ihe pilmuy
n nil lower giammnr gradi s by paying
them the highest salaries Instead of
the lowest, and by luuklng their ten
ure of ofllce peininiicui. The cities
that make the teacheis' p sltlons per
manentthat have never adopted the
yenily election plan, or have dls
c aided It me tlioso that show the best
lesults tor all classes of pupils. Tho
third thing needed Is ono that we shall
have to recur to again, of a certain
carefully guaidcd and wisely dliected
IKxibllity of studies, or of lustiue
tlon, In the grades below the high
school, which the nuijoilty ot pupils
never muli.

Japan plainly intimates that she must, tint

If Ibis-la bad nut ceiled In obtaining the em
peror's consent to tho concession of M.int linrli,
Europe and the Inlted States, little as they
would rclih it, would have perhaps acirpti'il It
as an joioinpli-hcd fact, one which Hiis-U was
bound to ctfeet sooner or later, in tlie

nut Japan has pievented or lather fiustiatid
all this. Her logau is "Hands oil Manihurla."

That Japan can do so needs vciy little study
ol the 1 ol.it I v 0 slicngth and its tli-posltioll in

however, the como or icsulls of a great war
cannot be prognosticated with anv thing like
exactitude, the errois, or at leat tho more ev
liavagant ol them, arc due lo the senile alfec

and a bumptious rgotlsm arising from prejudice
and paittallt). It Russia and Croat llrilaiu weic

tho Dowager I'mpiess bad It all her own way
