ordinarily ex arda over four or five years the english student goes along leisurely and gets what he studies thoroughly tho american rushes at his work a vim that sometimes results in breaking down his health at school the american student sets the guiding stakes iu practical life he fills in the blank spaces how otten ia it said that the graduate thinks ho knovs all that intended man to know and that experience teaches him how little ho really does know Is it not a fact that teachers in intenzo anxiety to see rapid progress atlen expect too much of the child do not teachers sometimes forget that the growing mind ia more easily fatigued thin the mature mind the arrangement of the program may do much to prevent fatigue by inter the more difficult studies such as arithmetic grammar and geography uliter mechanical studies such as drawing music spelling etc for much of the weariness and inattentiveness inattentive nesa in the schoolroom the teachers are responsible while the blame falls upon the unfortunate child no person ever etu lied a subject unless there was in it something t him perhaps tho interest lay in that at sometime it could be made useful puff san we expect children to fully realize the utility of something comes into play go far in the future now these are practical questions think about them the rues for discipline of teachers for professional
