Nightingale, Superintendent of High Schools, Chicago, its report as follows: The committee on college entrance require- ments submitted their report. The committee was appointed to study the question of col- lege entrance requirements, for the purpose of harmonizing the relations between the s ary schools and the colleges, “‘to the end that the former may do their legitimate work, as the schools of the people, and at the same time furnish an adequate preparation to the puy for more advanced study in the academic c leges and technical schools of the country.’” | The committee stated: “The study of the Eng- | lish language and its literature is inferior in importance to no study in the curriculum. It offers all, or mearly all, the opportunities for mental training afforded by the study of any language, and introduces the pupil to the lit- erature of his own tongue, which must al- ways be the true source of his own thought, e nd, H B. ruction, Georgia, taking as his text ia, W.

The national investment in school houses and property needed for the conduct of schools is enormous and is increasing with every moment. The same progress is no- ticeable in the development of higher education. The Euro- pean standards of university appointments have notonly been reached but surpassed. Fast as the material and external progress is which has been made in public education the in- ternal progress in instruction and school management has more than kept pace with it. There are two currents which all popular education has to consider. One is the very neces- sary adjustment of education to the practical demands of life and to the march of history which carries a people along to new destinies. Public education must prepare the future citizen to take his place in the new world of state and so- ciety that is forming about him. In our own political life the changes which the last thirty years have brought, both with- in and also in the regulation of the republic to the world at large, are deep and far-reaching. With the vast growth of the nation and the preponder- ance of industrial life political and economic problems arise which require superior intelligence and judgment on the part of the masses. Without general education our government cannot exist. Every pulsation of American life makes for thoughtful purpose and action and away from merely con- templative rest. Public education can have no grander pur- pose than to pulsate with the heartbeats of our people and prepare for thoughtful and energetic action and life. School progress has been in the last twenty years clear- ly in the direction of action. All methods of teaching in the common schools aim more and more toward connecting knowledge with life, and methods of teaching with that free activity toward which beth the natural interests of the child and the genius of our people tend.—Extract from the ad- dress of F.
