‘A Double Course in Our High Schools, A PAPER READ BEFORE THE EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION BY MR. JOHN M SWAIN, Epvucation is said to be a preparation for the duties of life. Ifthis be true, then, since se much of our youth, the time for preparation, is passed in school, our school life should have a direct connection with our future employments and occupations No system of education can ignore the ve- (upations of the people fur whom it is de- signed. My principal object in the few remarks I am about to mske is to inquire whether our system of education is the best suited to give the required mental training aud (o develop dexterity aud intelligence in our different employments ; and if it is not the best to make such suggestions as may lead to its improvement, or at least to a consideration of the subject. It would

ceeded in formulating a course of study ia

every respect according with the advance

of the times and the circumstances of our

lives, that such would do for all future / time. Our occupations change and our

methods of work chinge with the advance

in our civilization and increase in our

knowledge, sv also should branches of study

and methods of instruction change with this

advance or increase. What may be well

suited fur one time may not be for another.

What would have suited our conditions of: life fifty or a huodred years ago will not

suit those of the present. Our educatioual

preparation must now differ feom what it

was at any former time.

{t is true that we have made changes in the course of schvol studies as well as great advances in the branches which we have always learned and taught. These changes have, however, been chiefly in ‘favor of those known as the professional classes. For them we have Latin and

is at least of great advantage to the lawyer, the doctor, the clergyman, andI may add, if he be worth considering, the man of learned leisure. We have almost ignored the claims of the farmer, the mechanic and the merchant. Book-keeping is no longer The favor with which it is regarded may be inferred

to acquire a knowledge of it, must do so at some other than a state institution. This tendency to ignore the masses for the benefit of the classes is still further shown by the exclusion of industrial drawing from subjects of examination. Both these branches are of great utility. Everyone requires a knowledge of book- keeping, and € this is not obtained in the school of our yeuth, it must be gained in that other school, perhaps, in the struggle which the world imposes on most of us to make both ends meet. Industrial drawing everywhere else holds an important place in the course of instruction. IJndependent- ly of its value to the mechanic—for it truly may be called the written language of the mechanic—it possesses great educational

As | have said, we have made changes from time to time in our school course. These changes have no doubt been made with the object of enabling each and every one to obtain a more advanced education. There is but the one course of studies, and every pupil who enters or passes through the different grades must accept that course. He may not wish to study Latin, Greek, French or Mathematics. If he en- ters the High School, he must study them, since the study of these branches consti- tutes the most important part of the work of the High School grades, At this stage, many leave our schools, having no inclina- tion or desire for a classical education, who would continue in school a yearortwolonger if they would obtain instruction in brar ches in which the knowledge gained could §be turned to account in their future employ- ments.

For those who would have an education tha: would prepare them for the study of a profession or to matriculate in a university, our course is admirably adapted. It was framed with this object chiefly in view, it was framed so by men whose sympathies were entirely with such an educatioa, and who did not imagine that a mental training in any degree satis- factory could be secured otherwise than by the study of classics. There was a time when the assertion of superiority over all other studies could well be made for the classics. That time has passed. The ad- vances and discoveries of later times in science and natural history have so enlarged the various branches in these departments, that their study affords a mental discipline specially adapted for those who engage ia the commoner occupations. For such per- sons they afford not only the best mental training, but confer the knowledge which is most useful, and which the circumstances

‘classical education as the only desir- able one, and neglect the education of those who do not seek a professional career. These do not require the same education. Many, indeed, desire an edu- cation equalto the former, but an educa- tion based on branches which have more relation to their future employments, and suck would be the education obtained by a sciences course.

Having shown the reasonableness and the necessity tor such a course as will con- feran education suitable to their oceupa- tions on the farmer, the mechan‘c, and others of like occupations—an education which may be equal to that of those who pursue a classical course—I proceed to dis- cuss how it may be effected. The first and the strongest objection that will be made to apy change which will require an increase in the number of branches to be taught in our schools, is that the branches in which instruction is now required are fully as many as can be successfully iaught. Jf every pupil were obliged to study all that we now have with the addition of several other branches, the objection would bea valid one; but if we have a double course of study—one which may be called a classical course, the other a science course-— there can be no reasonable cause for ob- jection on this growad. There should be no difficulty in framing courses adapted to both classes of students. The present staff of teachers might be unable tu do all the work required. Those engaged in ad- vanced and high school work certainly would not’ But considerable assistance might be obtained in our city, from one to two o'clock, from the teachers of the primary classes, A division of the school day into two sessions—a forenoon and an afternoon sessiou—by which the lower grades might close at 114 or 12 o'clock, would make more assistance from the same source available. Such an arrangement of the school day is desirable, not alone for the purpose of helping us to adopt two dis- tinct courses of instruction, but even for the sake of the progress and discipline of our schools. Moreover, the health and convenience of teachers, scholars and fam- ilies demand this change. If an additional teacher should be required in some of our schouls on account of the increase of work consequent on an enlarged course, let that additional teacher be provided. The pro- vision would be in the interests of the ma- jority of our people.

I will not attempt to sketch a plan or order of lessons, for in this asin other studies, the amount to be taught as well as the order in which the different branches will be taken}up, should be gradually developed as the circum- atances of schools will permit, until a com- oo ientcourse is attained. Much nowledge of this kind should be imparted in ali grades, even in the primary, by a suit- able course of oral lessons, and it wouli form a basis for the more advanced work of the high school. In adopting the course here suggested there needs be no conflict between science and classics, There can be no cause for alarm on the part of these who, I must say, foolishly imagine that any advocacy of science teaching necessarily implies hostility to classics, Let classics be taught to those who desite the teaching or have an aptitude for the study, but let them not be taught for the purpose of showing how many students we can send to a university. So far we can go without much difficulty towards giving an industrial education to our young people, and perhaps for a small community it is sufficient. In conjunction with the aptness and many-sidedness which marks the [slander, it may place him on an equality with those who receive a more com- piete industrial education, Then we may rejoice in the success of the Islander at home instead of giving expression te the unpatriotic boast, ‘‘A successful Islander abroad.”

Gloucester Fishing Losses.

The number of Gloucester, Mass., fishing vessels lost during the past year has been 18, of an aggregate tonnage of 1388.87 tons, representing a value of over $100,000, on which there is an insurance of $97,523. Three of these vessels, the Alice M Strople, Isaac A, Chapman and William W. Rice were lost with all their crews, numbering 38 men in all, while the partial loss of life from wrecked yéssels and the men lost or washed overbvard, capsized or lost: in dories, and dying at sea, increases the whole num- ber of lives lost to 86, For the previous year the number of vessels lust was 14, of a tonnage of 853.23 tons, valued at about $60,000, and insured for $50,054, while the total loss of life was 70. Among the Island- ers lost were John Macdonald, Rock Barra; Albert McEachern, East Point; Andrew Clarke, Charlottetown, and Angus Mac- donald, Bull Creek. — — .0e - News Notes.
