Socialism in senool matter* is, beyojd it* narrow-st interpretation, wholly without warrant. Once having established the machinery ot free schools, once having placed proper safe-guards for its mainten- ance and protection, the State should deter- mine the Irani that it must do to preserve its integrity and provide for its healthy growth. The maintenance of free high schools is uiiwine, first because it oblige* a whole community to pay for what only a few can enjoy : secondly, because it robs the lower schools of funds essential to them, and thirdly, because it tempts boys and girls wholly unfit for secondary education, to a course of training of very doubtful bene- fit. Finally, a* regards the methods of education, Mr. Monroe think* that in his country at least there istoomuch superficial ity in the ordinary primary and grammar school courses. More attention is given to imparting information than to training the children in habits of study. The school is a gymnasium for making the child's mind acquisiti/e and receptive.
