Once in a while I have occasion to employ arith- metic in solving some chemical problem, and am astonished to find such inabil- ity to use the simplest methods." In a second letter this teacher retnrns to the subject: " I object in toto (1) To the study of German in the lower schools; it is bad pedagogy, bad economy, and is, moreover, bad politically. (2) To the system of carrying on the same study, as geography, arithmetic, or grammar, through six or eight years ; much better wait till the pup...il is ready for it, and then set- tle the thing at once. (3) To the twaddle which has got into the schools under the name of natural science. At a late examination in botany the pupil was asked the shape of a turnip, and after a series of questions learned the import- ant fact that ' napiform ' means turnip-shaped. I also object, not in toto, but to the excessive development of many such subjects as music and drawing.
Many of these things have their day and cease to be. I have been through a number of them myself.
