Huxley on Examinations.
""W-tlHUK have heen few persons
I betler ill,llllleil to pass
JL JndKinent nn what Is koo'I
In education and what bail,
IhHll was the fatuous scientist, Pro
fessor Huxley. We haio been greatly
struck with some (imitations made
from him III a tecent educational
work. First: "I am an old examiner,
havliifr for yotno twenty yours past
been occupied with examinations on a
considerable scale, of nil sorts and
conditions of men, anil women too
ft om the boys and Kills nf elementary
schools to the candidates for honors
and fellowships In the universities.
My admiration for the existing sys
tem of oxanilnntlon does not wax
wanner as I see more of It. 1 inn not
alone In this. Kxperlencpd friends of
mine say illat students whose career'
I hey watch appear t" them to become
deterloi:ited by the constant effort to
pass this or that examination. They
work to pass, not to know: and otit
rnRtvl science lakes her revenue They
tin pass, but they don't know."
Again, lie uses yet stmt. or lan
fruape. wriiliip? Ilmi: "The educational
abomination of desolation of the pres
ent day Is the tlmuliitlnn of young
people to work at hlcth pr 'SMtre by in
cessant competitive examinations."
It is only such methods' of teaeliliiK
as arouse and interest tlu pupil, es
pecially the vety youncr pupil, to
know, to leatn sonietlilntr for the
sake of knowing not the drlvlnjr or
lurir.K him or her on to "cram" either
for the mere sake of ftettinp pro
moted, or lo get it higher average on
the arbitrarily selected written exam
ination Hint really jiroduc" lesults of
blsh value for future life and work.
These examinations form no true or
actual test nf the child's knowledge
uf the subject studied, or even of any
special text book taken In Its entirety
op as far as that grade uses It. That
is made much more apparent In the
dally school room recitations, and the
ability to put the meaning of the
lesson Into the child's own language.
No teacher who is capable of teaching
at all. on ,-iny basis, but knows far
better by that daily rchitnl-work test
than any examination on tlio present
lines can reveal II, what pupils are
gaining, and the standard of gain
they hip making as compared with
eaeli othet. At the close nf the month
or the term, the teacher can tell
which pupils leally know, are reallv
lilted for going on, and can judge
fairly also of their relative standing,
whether marked In such case as nuni
bi r one. number two, and so on, or
by marking tliein then as deserving
of n higher or lower average out of
a possible hundred. The classes that
.Know their advancement, alike in ac
tual knowledge and In grade promo
tion, depends not on "cramming" and
an arbitrary memory test at the
term's end. but on dally steady inter
est lu lessons and attention to in
struction, are the classes that go on
to tile close of school days tile best
equipped for what life is to call on
them for. That proportion of prepara
tion holds good for those who must
go to work eaily and for those "the
higher education" awaits.
The newspapers which would like to
bring about a row between Odell and
Roosevelt by manufacturing stories of
their rivalry are wasting good energy.
For Teaching English.
y NNOL'NCKMliNT is made of
the establishment at the linl-
JH 3. versily of Michigan by tho
Pilgrim Publishing company
of Huttle Creek of "a graduate fellow
ship for research in rhetoric and ling-
h composition" for the purpose of
improving; the teaching of liiigllsh In
the public schools. The work of the
incumbent, when appointed, "will bo to
Investigate present methods of teach
ing liiigllsh composition, especially with
reference tu the causes of success or
failure, and to discover, if he can, a
remedy for the evils,"
Ueie then, is Columbia university
teaching spelling because the grani
iimr and high schools which send up
treshman candidates prepared hi Lat
in, Cireel; and mathematics have ne
glected the very fundamentals of a
proper use of their own language when
It comes to putting it on paper. There
are the presidents of Harvard and
other great universities on record, over
and over again, in complaints over tho
lack of a knowledge of liiigllsh in tlio
youth they receive, and lu discussions
hoiv college and university Influence
may be brought to bear upon "the sec
ondary schools" fop improvement in
this iimttei'. Now conies Michigan
university's acceptance of what tlm
sintoiuciit. accompanying the an
nouncement of this gift of tin endowed
fellowship plainly Indicates tlio uni
versity to have been seeking.
With all this there dawns some hope
that school boards, and certain classes
of teachers and pupils notably those
