THERE ARE TOO
MANY STUDIES
W. STETSON SAYS THAT
COURSES NEED PRUNING.
In a Leetuio at the County Tcacheis'
Institute Yesteiday He Said That
the Educational Woiltl Is On a
Gland Diunk as Regaids a Mul
tiplicity of Studies and Needs to
Swear Off Supeiintondent Jones
on the Philosophy of Hlstoiy.
W. W. .Stetson, stipeilntendciit of
public schools for Maine, took a de
cided .stand against a multiplicity of
studies and hi fas or of a letuin to
some of the old time methods In n
talk on "dome Kssontials" dcllveicd
at yesteiday aftet noon's session of tho
county teaclipis' Institute.
"I belles e in tol books," said he,
"and I belles o In icclltitlons and In
many things connected with our edu
cational si stem but I also belles e that
the chlldieii should bo taken out In the
air and unto the hilltops at times that
they may see the lango and possibilities
of things about llfin. In my opinion the
cross nlng sseakness of our public school
s.vstem Is that sso'ie on a soil of drunk
as regaids the teachliig of a multitude
of subjects.
"Wha: sve need Is to stand still for
a time; to sober off, as It were and
base a iesls.il of the old time thoioiigh
ness and masteiy. Let us teach the
ihlldion to leid Intelligently; let Us
teach them to add up a. column of
figutes a uid long conectly the (list
lime; let us te.ith them to spell ssords
as they should be spelled, lit shoit
let us teach them the fesv simple, neecs
s.ny things thoroughly and let litem
gain strength fiom the masteiy ot
these things befoie sse Indulge in the
ornamentals."
Education That Counts.
Continuing along this geuei.il line
of thought Mi. Stetson leferred to the
essentially faulty natuie of much of
the studies taught In the schools at
the ptesent time, 'ihe boy, he said,
who is taught that masteiy of sell In
school svhlch ssould en ible him to walk
across the lecepllon hall in the pieaence
of sisltois without bringing .1 Hush ot
embaiiassinent to his cheek is given a
genuine education, he said. Sttpeilnien
dent Stetson spoke at the inoinlng ses
sion on the "Heading of j.i Unpi luted
Page."
Supeilntendent V. Mi Jones, or In
diana, continued bis lectin es on the
philosophy of hlstoiy sesterdas. In
the morning ho spoke of the iclatlon ot
histoiv to geogiaphy deeiiblng in de
tail Hie essential differences belssetn
the civilisation of C.ieete and Rome and
the leasons theiefoi. Gieece g.iso to
the woild Its finest ait and Home gase

lasv. Coth sseie In the same climate
and svlthln a vei shoit distance of one
anothei.
The soil of Italy ssas etieuiely fet
tlle, he .ild, and being exttaoi dln.it ily
pioductise it Incieased the population
and brought the people cloaer together
making a gov eminent ssith a substan
tial foundation an absolute lequisitc.
On the other hand, he said, the decks,
who Used ap.nt because of the moun
tainous cii.n.iciei ot tne eouiiny, nail a
gi eater oppoitunlt to develop their
aitistic Instincts
National Life.
At the aflei noon session Supeilnten
dent Jones dells eied the fit st of tsso
lee tines ttaclng tho deselopinent of
national lite along the lines of national
lasvs. He took up the influence of
climate, food and soil upon the mind
and thus indirectly upon the nation.
As an illustration he cited the Intio
diictlon of the potato Into li eland.
Within a veiy shoit lime the popula
tion of that eountiy began to Inciease
at the rate of tluee per cent, a e.ir
because of the nutiltious qualities ot
the vegetable and its cheapness as ,n
aiticle of food. 'Die Lipid Inciease In
the population makes labor a diug on
the niaiket and the eountiy becomes
plunged into abject poseitj. This 11
lustated veiy tleailv, he said, the social
effect of ceitaln things In the mateiial
w 1 1 Id.
The eat best civilizations of all time,
he said, the Ivlllzntluits of Kg.spt,
India, and Mexico sseie all found in
ton id countiles because of the piodiu
tlveness of the laud. In India the Tei
tile soil and ibuudanre of molstuie
pioduced an eMiaordliuiy amount of
lood. As In the rase of lielnul the
nbuitdaiice of lood produced an lucteas
ed population, low wages- began to be
paid svhen the supply of labor became
gi eater than the demand and theie ssas
nn altogether unequal dlstillnulon of
wealth. This unequal dlstilbutlon ot
wealth pioduced the class distinctions
which have become looted In the lists
of the Hindoos. This he said piostd
ihe Inlluenie of initeii.il conditions on
a nation's life.
May Come Heie.
"f .shouldn't like to be called a
Socialist," said Mi, Jones, "but I want
to say that I think these same ilas-s
distinctions svill uilse In this countt
befoie long and the Inevitable cinsh
will lome if wo as u people do not con
tinually guuid against It and keep our
minds educated, cleat, lienli and
blight."
Miss Arnold continued bet talk on
