"MODERN" SCHOOL COURSES
People who interest themselves in education often hark
Kinl rt flirt a.iflir timoc whuil tho "thl-po Il's" WP1A tnilpht
4with great, emphasis and no time was wasted, so they say,
on a great variety of subjects now found in our school cur
riculum. A few; essentials -of elementary education are still
. regarded by those admirers of the. "good old days" as pre
ferable to the complex and diversified methods in our modem
schools. ' " ' ' ,
Is their conception of the simple schools of our ancestoi'S
as accurate as it should be? Were reading, writing and rith
metic taught to the exclusion of other and more cultural
subjects? Perhaps so, in the backwoods schoolhouse where
the course of study was .necessarily limited to the training
and capacity of the back-woods teacher, but we find that
the conception of education was much broader, even in the
day sbefprc public schools, whenever facilities would permit.
. A booklet, just issued to commemorate the 150th anni
versiuy of the Elizabeth Daily Journal, Elizabeth, New Jer
sey, reproduces among other things an advertisement of a
private school printed in the issue of Oct. 13, 1818, of that
.publication. ' And we find in the' description of this "selecjt
yl")cardirigscfi"(M)Pfoi' ''youngladies"" that students"" wilt; ;b"e
taught in the following branches:" .-
"Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, English Grammar, Geog
raphy, with the use of the Globes, etc, Composition, Blair's
Lectures, History,, Astronomy, Botany, Chemistry, French
and Music, Painting on Velvet, in Crayons, Water Colours
'and Oil, Embroidery, with the various branches of Needle
Work, and n great variety of Fancy Works, including Shell,
Grotto and Wax Work, Artificial Flowers, Filigree, Gilding
'and Japanning." The advertisement states further that "a
ad of wood for the winter season, bed, bedding, and a half
zen towels to be provided by the parents. Tcims for Board
-.-Tiiil inn' 99.H niillnt-s ripr annum."
lontemplation of such a course of study offered a hun-
,1 and ten yeai-s ago leads us to believe that the variety.
I'hbjects in our so-culled modern schools is not just exactly
,'lv tendency in education. Our modem domestic science
f(i handcraft studies perhaps had their conception some
ime ago. And tne attention to sucn accompnsnmenis ns
; "painting on velvet" is such that we may be led to- believe
the "three It's", were considered about in the same light as
they are today fundamental and necessary, but elementary
; find serving chiefly as stepping stones to broader culture. ,
' School courses, whether designed for the young ladies of
" Elizabeth, New Jersey, or Tor the children of La Grande,
Oregon, seek to enlarge the student's capacity for living. That
is the real purpose of education and though its accomplish
ment is often imperfect, there is no evidence yet that re
stricting study to a few fundamental subjects would be more
successful.
