here is imposed upon the Washing-
ton school a schedule of-salarics law
that is at oriy offensive: to‘ioommon
sense. in that it requires virtuall‘yaaii
the bright. entlmsiastlc‘ young teachers
' to teashin the lower grades, and all
the old, worn-out and routine teachers
to teach in the highest, grades.
As a matter of fact, the alter-age use
‘of the first and second grade teachers
in Washington is scarcely twenty-four
‘. years, while the average'age of the
highest grade teachers more than
fifty years. it is access y that in the
highest grade. at least a third—and
better. a half~of the teachers should
be young women under thirty, and bet.-
ter under twenty-seven. in the high‘
est grammar grades in Washington
the. work done is poor. very poor, for
.it lacks life and enthusiasm. A few
exceptions relieve but do not substan-
tially change the general situation.
The other feature of the situation is
that Washington has no regular exatu-
inations rigidlycnforced by which to
standardize the grammar schools and
to hold teachers and pupils up to the
mark; it is easy for a upil to drift
along through all the ac oois, includ-
ing'the normal schools...and to go into
the elementary schools again as it
teaches, That is the. principle upon
which Congress operates the schools,
as tho staitues show. Getting upon the
high school payrolls is a very different
matter. .
There are other things that are
wrong in the Washington schools, and
wrong with no similar wrongs else-
where. But these two features are the
ones that make the educational trolr
bios.

Under the present system of study
the only book regularly used by child—
ren learning to spoil is one containing.
perhaps. 3,000 words, which lasts
through the grammar school coursi- of
oight years.

words at tile beginning and longer and
more complicated orihographical mar

and similar words which he may never
seo again. in the eighth grade it is
the practice of some teachers to re-
view the book with an idea to learn-
ing how much their pupils have rc-
tallied.
Tho reuttlts. according to the teach-t
era, are disheartening. The pupils.
not having given the earlier words a
thought since they escaped them. are
capailo of mailing marks but little
boiler iii‘hn‘llose of two years before.
One of the principal sources of criti-
clam is the failure of the pupils to use
the dictionary regularly. The diotiout
ui‘y is an- adjunct enabling pupils to“
look up words coming iu'thi-ir other
studies, its many common words-

If a pupil. desirous of spelling a cer-
tain word to be used in a composition.
chooses lqlook it up, he resorts to his
dictionary, sous how it is spoiled. and
subsequently puts his book away.
Ono teacher remarked recently:
"Tho dictionary is the best preserv-
cd of all of our volumes. The history
'und geography and reader are usually
‘dog-eared' by the end of a term. But
the dictionary comes back as fresh as
when it went out.”
in reading. the. question of spelling
does not enter with the seriousness
which the critics feel is necessary. The
pupil Is impressed with the elocutiow
ary possibilities of his recitation and is .
cllrofully instructed as to onunoiation

strucfion of the sentences. the spell-
ing of the difficult Words. and the value
of synonyms, antonyma and the like
are usually passed over.
