REVOLUTIONIZE
THESCHOOLS
•
, ROCKEFELLER SAYS SCIENCE
NOT DEAD; LANGUAGES
SHOULD BE TAUGHT.
(Woman’s National Weekly.)
The general education board.
| rounded by John D. Rockefeller, has
{ invited expressions of opinion as to
1 the feasibility of establishing a
i modem school, which, according to
Abraham Flexner. assistant secre
tary of the board, who submitted
: the plan, would revolutionize the
f present education system.
In announcing the proposed in
i novation, which not only would
: change the curriculum now in
vogue in schools and colleges, but
would attempt to utilize as its
laboratory- “the accessible world."
The general education board declar
ed its sole intent was to “facilitate
: the trial of promising educational
experiments under proper condi
tions."
“The curriculum,” Flexner said.
; “includes nothing for which an af
. nrniative case cannot be made out.
The modem school would drop the
study of formal grammar. For such
evidence as we possess points to
the futility of formal grammar as
an aid to correct speaking and writ
I ing.
“A modem school would not go
• through the form of teaching child
ren useless historical facts just be
cause previous generations of ehild
| ren have learned and forgotten
them; and also would have the
i courage not to read obsolete and
uncongenial classics, simply be
cause tradition has made this sort j
; of acquaintance a kind of good
form.”
Neither Latin nor Greek, Flexner
adds, would be contained in the
curriculum of the modem school.
. “not because their literatures are!
less wonderful than they are reput
ed to be. but because their pres- j
ent position in the curriculum rests '
upon tradition and assumption.
“Aside from reading, writing.1
; spelling and figuring, the curricu- \
! lum of the modem school would be
built of aetua) acridities, in science, j
indusiry, aesthetics and civics. The 1
work in sience would be the cen- i
tral and dominating feature.
“A school trying to produce a re
sourceful modem type of educated
men and women would provide ‘
practical training in one or more j
modern languages.”
Flexner points to New York as
a location of the modem school.
“Consider for a moment,” he *
s^ys, its assets for educational j
purposes; the harbor, the Metro- i
politan Museum, the Public Library,
the National History Museum, the
zoological gardens, the city gov
ernment, the weather bureau, the
transportation systems, lectures i
concerts, plays and so on. Other *
communities may have less, but all
have much.
“Not only do American children
as a class fail to gain either knowl
edge or power through the tradi
tional curriculum, but they spend
an rdinately long time in fail
ing.” declares Flexner. “The per
is^ spent in school and college be
fore students begin professional
stud-.- is longer in the United
~ ’a tes than in any other western
country. An economy of two or,
three years is urgently necessary-.”!
WALKING IS GOOD EXERCISE, j
VV a Iking is one of the best ex- J
ercises a person can possibly take, j
physicians say. To walk properly
it is necessary to keep the head :
erect, the shoulders back, and the |
abdominal muscles tense, so that j
the abdominal viscera are not al- i
lowed to dangle in space, or left
to drop into th« pelvis. Energy and
life must be thrown into the ex
ercise, and elasticity into the step,
in order for it to be of benefit.
Deep abdominal breathing must ;
also b« practiced. Of course care j
must be taken not to overdo at
first. A short energetic walk of
15 minutes is of greater value, men
tally and physically, than a list- '■
less spiritess walk of five hours.
“Instead of raw March winds and j
cold draughts—in other words, out- i
side air of low temperature—being I
the cause of colds and catarrhal af- j
fections,”- says Dr. Felix L. Oswold.
, “it is the warm, vitiated, indoor'
air that is the cause, while out
door air is the best remedy. The
. combination of exercise, abstinence
j and fresh air will cure the most
obstinate cold.
Air is both food and drink to
! the lungs. It is more—like water
to the body—it washes them clean.
It is best when pure and bracing.
One great advantage the persistent
walker has is in getting used to all
i kinds of weather. Exposure to cold
: and damp will do him no harm.
; although it might be fatal t® oth
ers.
“Walking, if resolutely and jurli
• ciously followed, is a perfect exer
cise, which taxes the entire *y»
| tern. When you walk properly
every member and muscle, every
I ~
r.erve and fiber has something to do.
'Hie lungs grow strong and sound:
the chest enlarges, the limbs are
rounder} out, the tendons s'veil and
toughen, the figure rises in height
and dignity and is clothed with
grace and suppleness. Xot merely
the body, but the whole man, is
developed.”

Don’t blame women for the ter
rible hats they are wearing. Hats
are like husbands, you know. A
girl doesn't choose them: she mere
ly accepts them under hypnotic In
fluence.

Alas, it niay be nobler for a wo
man to be useful rather than beau
tiful. but one would scarcely think
i so from the relative enthusiasm
' with which a man speaks of a
"cute chicken” and an "old hen.”

A man is never actually declasse
