FAILURE OF EDUCATION
At an educatianal conference held in
Kansas City, Mo., Miss Mary Fisher, a
high school teacher said:
"For some years it was my duty to
conduct examinations for entrance into
higher courses of study. In one exam
ination of nine girls, ranging from 18
to 20 years, two of them high school
graduates, not one knew who Benja
min Franklin was. All of them said
he had been President of the United
States, and one said that he had 'in
vented electricity with a kite.' "
To illustrate the hopeless confusion
of mind of the majority of grammar
school graduates, this teacher describ
ed an examination of pupils in the
manuel training high school of Kansas
City. A list of words was given and
the pupils were requested to use
the words in intelligible sentences.
Here are a few of the words and re
sultant sentences:
Discoveiy: Invention—"The inven
tion of the locomotive was discovered |
bv Watt” "James Watt discovered;
the steam which now runs on steam-1
boats.” “Science was discovered by
Priestlv.” Steam was discovered at
this period anti was put into use, hence ;
the laboring classes were thrown out
of employment.”
Cotton—“Cotton grows on a sheep's
back”
Psychology—“Psychology is the
study of rocks.” “Psychology is the
study of how the world began”
The alnne is no exaggeration of the
confused state el mind of many of the
pupils in the public schools in the
cities. For years past the public
school curriculum has been growing!
by the constant addition of new -sub
jects which are supposed to be of in
terest to the pupils, and a knowledge
of which would be of practical value.
The result has been that the pupils
have gleaned by the power of memory ]
Vt jumble of words and phrases, manj
of which convey no intelligible mean-;
ing to them. Tieir minds have been;
crammed, but net educated. The ele
ment of time has to enter largely into
all true education, and the pupil must
be given opportunity to assimilate |
what his memory retains, and taught
to reason from principles or else his so
called education will be largely a fail
ure. _
