McCue commands respect of his opponents.

Prof. Gould's care fully worked out program for moral Instruction in the ' elementary grades impresses Bureau of: Education om cials as one of the most valuable of the present efforts to make education tell n fine character. Story-telling forms the 'basis for most of the instruction in Prof. Gould's plan. Once a week, or oftener, it is assumed, the teacher or princi pal gives a systematic lesson on the conduct of. life- The various virtues are taught, not as abstractions but -by concrete examples and by Interest ing stories.. The teacher Is not to say :-"Tbls ought to be done" she Is rather to says- "This thing has been done." Hearing constantly about right actions, the pupils learn to appreciate right conduct. The spirit behiad the. instruction is tne spirit or service; qui this and other technical terms aj-e to be rarely, if ever, mentipned. "'tH lsf possible," Prof, Gould points out, ffln give many lessons on civic duty ana scarcely ever use the word patriot ism, .and yet, the temper of consecra tion to one's duty and country may permeate the teaching and Inspire the pupila," . . , Prof. Gould disclaims anything nov el or faddish about his work. . It is by no means new. he says. "I have over and over again affirmed that my teaching : was, in the strict sense of the term, antiquated; that is to say. it consists of the employment of the concrete and dramatic manner which is illustrated by ancient poets as well 4tfbuys Nice glass tumblerft, eitlic fl.-la c:' etched. , , . i ." - j t 7c buy3r t 5 v ; Camphorated napbth&Itae.
