A little sir!, 13 j car of ac died a:

of nn experience as a leather I have never

less tho case of Maudt Ititterskamp ts one.
"I Co cot think the.o is any plausibility
in a surflrestlon that tho school work for

d.cree of heaviness. As a rule, the Kirls

work requlrel of tho pupl's K much less
than tho laiiltnum of tl ability of a
fc-nlth child. This is what rrof'-ssor Soldan
taj:
"Tho tendencv of all modem school sys
tems is to reiuco and even t cllmlnata
hom9 study for tho children, and especially
for tho children of tho lower grales. In
doinff tills, tho teicherj liavo nvt with
tteady opposition from the parent. They

they want them to learn cs much of their
