TEACHERS ARE
IN SESSION
AT SPOKANI
SPOKANE, April 4.—“Our pre3en
high school curriculm is cluttere
with all sorts of subjects that giv
knowledge about themselves, but ths
have never proved their usefulness i
life,” said J. R. Jewell, deal of th
University of Arkansas in an addres
here today before a meeting of the Ii
land Empire Teachers’ association
He said in part:
“The present high school curricul)
is the shelter of many subjects thi
have never been able to give a bctte
reason for their existence. Worse, i
is the shelter of the poorest teachin,
we have, namely, teaching about cei
tain subjects instead of an enlivenei
teaching of the subject. The poores
course I have ever had , myself wa
labelled botany. It was mislabelei
however, for it was a course aboi
botany and not of botany. I suspec
that English is the most poorly taugl
subject in our secondary schools an
that argumentation is the most pooii
taught division of that subject, thoug
exposition would give it a hard rae
for last place. That is because th
average teacher teaches about expos
Hon nv 'lrcnimontflHnn ami Hops nn
teach the subjects themselves.
“Not long ago 1 visited a famou
'classical high school in an Easteri
city, and in an English room saw
list of forty dates in Chaucer’s lif
given a class to commit to memo-;
Knowledge, again, as dry as dea
men’s bones. The poorest single rec
tation I ever saw in a certain grea
state in one of the better high school
where a teacher consumed almost th
whole period discussing before th
class whether or not Grey knew wha
he was about when he made the net
ond line of his Elegy in a Countr
Churchyard read ‘the lowing her
winds slowly o’er the lea,”’ instea
of ‘wind’—in short, whether or nc
herd is a collective noun and no take
a singular verb.
“Worse than all else today, fals
emphasis on knowledge has brough
about an equally false distinction b<
tween so-called “classes” who knov
and so-called ‘masses’ who perhap
have not so much knowledge, but wh
are the doers in this work-a-day worl
of ours. It is this theory of educatio
that is at the bottom of much of ou
social unrest.
“But we have made progress, for
is now the accepted belief that manui
training, well taught, makes for goo
habits, of thought, and here it find
its excuse for existence rather tha
as a preparation for a life c
carpentry, which it certainly is noi
