EDUCATION THEORY
EFFECT OF FRESH DISCOVERIES OF SCIENCE.
USE OF LEISURE.
Views about what is desirable or necessary in education vary much, and change with the times. At pre- sent boys and girls are trained to become so far efficient that they to reasonably be expected may develop into citizens capable of earning their own living in numer ous occupations. The elementary schools turn out hundreds of thou-
sands of children each year ready
to find places in the world of in- dustry. Private schools and col- leges, contral, secondary, and grammar schools, and the publie schools of the country give addi- tional education to multitudes, nim- ing to fit them for work that de- mands more intelligence than the "hewing of wood and drawing of water." All children do not con- form to these initial ideas. Some climb from the lower schools to the highest positions in trade, com
