While declaring the “musts” should be made as attractive as possible, he asserted it is ridiculous to assume that children are capable of choosing what they should learn as though they had more wisdom than their elders. Gen. Fries declared children can learn by play, but that it takes 10 times as long. High school students who can’t spell. write, punctuate or" understand English grammar illus- trate the results of this system, he charged.
