New Educational
Ideals Being Tried
Last fall, Mra G. 0 Pond, in con
junction with the Department of Edu
cation and a number of the students
of the college, established at her
home an experimental elementary
school in which It was proposed to
carry out the best of the practices now
recommended by the leading educa
tional authorities of today. The work
has been carried on through the win
ter with remarkable success, and at
present Mrs. Pond is visiting some of
the leading experimental schools of
the countm for the purpose of study
ing their methods She Is now In New
England where she will visit Mrs
Johnson's experimental school at
Greenwich, Conn.
In Mrs Pond's school, which tenches
children only through kindergarten to
the sea oath grade, the results of some
remarkable educationnl experiments
have been utilized. It has been found
by the Russell Sage Foundation that
the ordinnry school spelling hook con
tains about twenty tholisand words
and that the vocabulary of an ordi
nary person contains but a little over
one thousand words; therefore In the
new school the spelling book contains
only those words which are in common
use. As it has been found that the
composition of nn average person Is
almost entirely confined to letter writ
ing, the composition work in Airs
