Teacher (Junior) asks. in effect. and quite consistently too, Just how. even if Latin be eliminated. is the work in our one-room conn- Li)‘ strlionls going to be simplified anti lightened by the addition of more science in the course of study; for let. me remind the pro- science apostles that there Iias iil- ways for many years been ii little science taught W1‘ Public schools: and bear in mind too. that. it is not Just n little more science that our new cducationists advocate for our public schools, but rather a great deal morc,coin- paratlvely speaking. for it is a maxim of theirs that a little learn- ing is a useless and even a dan- gcrotis thing. especially in the case of Lﬂllfhitllfl even in the Case of science where a little of it will)’ tcmpt psrsons to speak and write on subjects on which they MT profoundly ignorant. And bear {n mind. too. that it is not just fami- liar scientific theories that these etlucatlonists advocate. but rather practical, experimental. ambled science. And furthermore, if F-Illry do advocate theories. surely we are justified in asking. as Dr. John- ston has already done. lust What trim theories are, esiicclallv In respect to biology. 01' l" (‘f-her ivords the science of life. which surely finds its highest eKilYB-Ssliln In the life of man.

teacher in Prince Edward Island who ever taught or tried to teach experimental science In a one- rocm country school. As for my- self a little common sense, I trust, as well as a little bit of bitter ex- perience convinced me a good many years ago that experimental science can be well and efficiency taught only by specialists. cr_ rath- er. by teachers specially trained. in well-equipped special depart- nients-entlrely free from the com- plexities and distractions that would still be In a one-room coun- trihschool, even with-Latin elim- lnated. In reference to Mr. Morrison's letter I wish to suggest to him that the changes advocated by Mrs. Frank can hardly be termed slight ones as lie suggests they are. but rather radical changes which he suggests they are not. May I suggest also that a proposition re- quiring a whole series of well-writ- ten letters each consisting oi up- wizards of 2,000 words to prove it can hardly be called a self-evident truiii (see Euclidl. We all. I think, feel like taking oft our hats to the lad who by private study passed with honors the P. W.C. Entrance examinations. and three cheers for Mrs, Frank come gracefully from a youthful admirer, but three cheers are not convincing argu- mants. I am, Sir, cit. M. N. McKENZll-J Retired Teacher.

single person from stating his views. whatever they are.

Raising a Jovian hand to silence the idly chattering throng, Mr. MncLurc states: “With the excep- tion oi Mr. Johnston-Jliis discus- sion on educational problems HAS BEEN MORE ENTHUSIASTIC TIIAN IWPFLLJGENT AND FOR. THAT REASON I (MR. Mae- LURE) propose at the risk of rc- pcnting myself to state as clearly as I can, the beliefs which inipell- etl ME to answer Mrs. Hank's let- ter on which my defenseiof Latin wzis based."

How comforting to know that intelligence is still to be found on the Island in the persons of Mr. Johnston and Mr. MacLurc!

Mr. MacLure contends that the real issue lies between those who are dragging civilization to rutn because they believe. “only what ts useful is good” nnd those who like himself. believe "what is good is useful."

However. when I read his pro- ram of studies that comprise a ‘llheraf’ education. I note that I would include all his sub_Iects (see my letter oi’ Nov. 23) and then go much further. but with the excep- tion that I do not consider Latin necessary even for the study of early literatures. I am enjoying Virgil for the first time. now that I am reading It In English. And Homer is i'un in English.

diate goal. a knowledge of the culture of the past, a grasp on the pr b‘ of the present, an

interest in building a better fut- ure. I would make Latin, and Greek, and Hebrew, and Sanskrit too. and other dead languages a- vailable to all who felt them Im- portant (not for the purpose of s, livelihood. and I don't view that with contempt either) but foi- the particular good of ‘their particular soul. May such delvers into the past never leave us!

_I believe that we can note the fallacy of his sweeping distinction between what is "useful is good" and ‘fwhat is good is useful", by studying the letter of Miss Marion Puncher tNov. 25>. She asks what is the use of Latin? But she ex- plains she questions its use not only because she cannot see its beneﬁts in the business of making money (and that too is important) but that the cannot see how it will be of use in her future as a home-maker and citizen of a dem- ocracy. Here she means then what. is useful toward, surely a. most.

She feels, and she evidently speaks for many other young women at P.W.C,, that Home Eco- nomics, economics (how well I a- gree with her that that subject will enter largely not only into her home problems. but into C [relationship with the rest of the world. that she will be asked to tinderstandr music, drama. and Government of her own country rather than, or in addition to, gov- ernment of ancient Greece and Rome. These subjects and others she mentions and others I could mention, will certainly better pre- pare her for life than Latin. and I may‘ ndd, enrich her youth, right 110W.
