An old theory of learning was that certain subjects, particul- arly the classics, were especially useful for training the mind, Thorndike tried out: this theory by experiment and found it did not work. His findings hastened the departure of Latin and Greek from school curricula." Dr. Thorndlke, famous Paychm lozlst. professor of _ Educational Psychology at, Teachers College, Columbia.

It: ls now agreed by all leaning . psychologists, that subjects should be studied on their own merits. Professor Angeli says: "No study should have a place in the currlcultun for which this general disciplinary char. acterlatfc (mind-training) is me chief recommendation. The 1m trlnslc values of each study afford a. far safer criterion of educational work than any which we can de- rive from the theory of Iomnu dlsclpllne (mlnd-trafnfngl." Dr- Dewey says: “It is desirable to expel the notion that. some sub- jeots are inherently ‘intellectual’ and hence possessed of an almost magical power to train the faculty of thought." Professor Heck says: “Mental discipline is the most important thing in education but‘ it is specific not general. The ability developed by means of one subject can be transferred to another subject only tn so far as the latter has cle- ments in common with the form- er tLatin and French). Abllttlf-h should be developed in school only by means of those elements of subject-matter and of method that are common to the most valuable phases of the outside environ- ment.” That last. statement seems espe- cially significant iu comiestion with the present coutrovzuxsy over the curriculum in the common schools of the rural districts of P.E.I. Since Latin imd French, Algebra and Geometry are not any better for “training the mind" than any other subjects, why not stud-y subjects “that. are common to the most valuable phases of the outside environment", as Professor Heck says. Why not study subjects that will, tn themselves, prove of value tn that. large majority who will spend their lives in an agri- cultural envlronment? Why not give that majority wt least; an els- mentary knowledge of chemlstw and physics, and a more thorough knowledge of agriculture, instead of Latin and French, Algebra. and geometry? Why not glve the boy: a. chance to “tinker with machin- ery" and the girls an understand- lng and love for the supremely important house-hold duties which will fall to the share of most; of them? l/Vfiy not at least try to lnstll in these boys and girls an ability to read and a love for read- ing, so that the long winter nights may be filled with usefulness and beauty?

It l: the idea that so many of I15 clinp to the idea that certain subjects notably Latin and Greek, Mathe- matics imd Grammar, are of great and particular value for the put- poso of “training the mind."
