TIIE VICES OF PRIMARY EDK'ATIOX.
Emerson has said (we do not remember
where or how, but somewhere and some
how) that there are only two dangerous
tilings in the world—self-conceit, and the
laziness that comes from self-conceit. This
is true of nations and eras as of individ
uals. Xo nation knows its own back
wardness; no age can understand its own
barbarism. We keep talking of the dark
ages, and forget that our age is the dark
age of those that are yet to conn?, that
this is the yesterday of a better and
brighter to-morrow.
In nothing are we more self-conceited
in this land oi ours than in educational
matters. “Beginning at Jerusalem,”
from Massachusetts, from Boston, outward
we believe ourselves to have reached the
acme of all progress in this regard. It is
now time for us to stop auu rest and
boast. The past few weeks have been
full of educational conventions of all
-orts and under all names. There have
been the usual amount of self-complacent
comparison of methods and discussion of
plans, the usual number of object-lessons
and lectures. But there has been some
thing unusual. There has been an indiea-j
tiori of dissatisfaction with the present
state of things. A very slight indication
of a very slight dissatisfaction on the part
of a very lew people, perhaps; and yet1
there has been a gentle undertone of con
viction that the present is not the milleti
ium of educational method, it came out i
last week in the convention at Cleveland,
in the paper of Miss Delia Lathrop, of Cin
cinnati; it came out in recent conven
tions at Chicago and at Madison, which!
were at the pains to bring Elizabeth Pea
body all the way from Cambridge to ex
pound the Kindergarten methods.
It is time for us to understand that our
American Primary education is radically
wrong. It is time for us to understand
that it cannot be made right by any sys
tem of patching or mending. Object
teaching is a move in the right direction ;
the Word method is partly right, and is a
groping after the true way. But the sys
tem is wrong in its lir.-t principles. We
are utterly, almost hopelessly, superficial
iu our view ol the scope ot primary euuoa- |
tion. We are great believers in “the !
three It's.” In our primary education we
proceed upon the principle that reading, j
writing, and arithmetic are the "essen
tials” of education. The teacher who by
hook or crook, by coax or drive, soonest!
gets the child through the sloughs between 1
alphabet and reading carries oil'the palm, j
There is no thought of mental develop
ment; no fear of the evil effects of this
forcing. We do not ask whether learn
ing to read is the best preliminary drill to
the child's faculties. In fact, if we must
speak frankly, the great vice 'of our pri
mary education is its empiricism. The
necessities of teaching oblige them to bow !
to popular demand. What people want
is speed in the direction of the “three
R's.” It is what they caq measure. Men
tal discipline is lo them a shadowy noth
ing; they measure education as they do
calico, by quantity. In yielding to sup
ply the demand, the profession of teach
ing is reduced to resort to quackery, and
the real need of the child is left unsatis
fied.
Our educational improvements of late
years have been in the direction of a com
promise, by which it is hoped the popular
craving for apparent quantity may still be
supplied and something approaching a
true method be obtained, notwithstanding.
And so little four-year-old boys and girls
are taught by objective methods and
drilled in alphabet cards at the same time.
But no true system can be reached in this
way. Of all teaching, the primary should
be the most carefully conformed to scien
tific methods. And scientific methods will
not be attained until we have a school of
fearless reformers, who will teach truly,
if they have lo endure martyrdom for it.
We base to go to the conscientious and
patient Germans, from whom wo have
learned so much, to learn also tlm natural
method ot education tor little children. It
was not discovered at haphazard. "The
educating family,” as they were called,
under the lead of Frederick Froebel,
traveled through toil, persecution, ill
repute, and pecuniary sacrifices, which
seem almost incredible in our mercenary
country, to an educational success. And,
when they had attained it. they fearlessly
threw away their popularity by introduc
ingotlierand greater advances. Xot untiL
great, patient, persevering, Frederick
Froebel was nearly threescore years of age
did he bring forth his best fruit in the
Kindergarten, on which he cast behind
him all previous achievements, and, de
voting himself afresh to poverty, gave the
remainder of his life to the introduction
of thu greatest of all educational reforms
—the establishment of the true method of
traininsr little children.
The Kindergarten has been introduced
into this country : and, ot course has been
compromised. American parents cannot
i see any good in a child’s spending the
; years from three to six or seven without
learning to read. Jt is useless to show the
wonderful and delightful development of
the faculties of observation and reflection
that has taken place in that time; the dis
cipline of the child’s moral nature; the
laying of a foundation that renders the
after success of the child in getting an
education almost certain. The shaping of
the child’s nature; the expansion of the
mind; the teaching a child to think, to talk,
; to love, to be honorable ; the acquisition
I of knowledge, and of the habit of seek
ing knowledge—all of these go for noth
ing with half-educated parents. And, as
teachers must make money, schools are
started as Kindergartens, and patronized
as Kindergartens, that are not even imita
tions of Froebel’s admirable institutions.
All the schools of this sort in New York
and Brooklyn, so far as we know, are un
worthy of tiie name. We do not say that
they are not improvements on the old
method. But we do say that none of them
with which we are acquainted are taught
* by persons having any considerable knowl
edge of Froebel’s method. Some of them
| are superficial and worthless.
Our leading educators generally confess
to a great ignorance of Kindergarten
Methods, but a very favorable prejudice
in their favor. None of the normal
schools can spare time to look into the sub
iect, though a little bit of the merely me
Imnieal art of Kindergarten work has
>een taught at Oswego. But little ehil
irert are yet painfully driven in droves
ilong the dry and weary road that leads
>y the shortest cut to the three It's. There
s a good training school for Kindergarten
teachers in Boston, and there are a few
borough Kindergartens, conscientiously
conducted, in different parts of the eoun
:rv. Though the progress may be slow,
’lie revolution in the education of little
■liildren is inevitable. But those who nn
lertake a reformation in education need
not a whit less courage, patience, and
self-sacrifice than those who are reformers
in religion.
The Hon. John A. Haiderman, Mayor of
Leavenworth, was lately summoned before
a police justice for permitting a nuisance
to exist in a street in that town. On being
called upon to plead, the Mayor then ex
pressed himself —“Really, sir, I presume
the matter is a joke. The fact of my be
ing called here appears to me too absurd—
too absurd.” “Sir,” responded the magis
trate, “if tliis appears as a joke, I shall
culminate it by inflicting a tine of ten dol
lars; just by the way of a joke, sir,—-just
by way of a joke.”

The Earth Closet offers to all. in town and coun
try, every benefit possessed by the Water Closet, at
far less cost, with the additional advantages, that it
is portable, and can be moved to the bedside in the
sickroom.
It promises more in immunity from offensive
Mors, from infection in disease, and in the saving
of fertilizers than has ever been accomplished by
a single invention.
In the COMMODE, the apparatus and earth res
ervoir are self-contained, ami a movable pail takes
the place of the vault
For use in Red Rooms, Hospital Wards, Infirm
aries, Ac., the Commode is invaluable. It is entire
ly free from those faint, depressing odors, common
to portable tenter closets and night stools, and through
its admission one of the greatest miseries of human
life, the foul smells of the sick room, and one ot the
most frequent means of communicating infection,
may be entirely prevented.
