Crooker discussea very fully the point
whether the advantages and blessings
of the system are supported and per- I
petuated for the good of the greater
number and are not perverted for a far
vored few. This latter question he (
strongly inclines to answer^ in the
affirmative The poigt doos not touch
u* very nearly, but when he proceeds
to urge in all earnestness that:
(1> To the silent and serious ob-
server it appear* that the tendency of
the spirit of the age is to greatly over-
load the educational ship
{2) We want fewer studies, and those
which are moat useful to the masse*,
and those should be taught more thor-
oughly.
(3) To accomplish the greatest ^pod
for the greatest numer; therefore, our
common schools should be so conducted
as to concentrate all possible skill and
attention upon the essential primary
branches;
We almost begin to rub our eyes and
wonder whether the word* are not
taken from the reports of H. M. inspec-
tors upon our own elementary school*

Act of 1870 was passed, was to be the
guiding principle of the education
given in schools built and administered

from the official report on the schools
of New York State, education there
seems to be suffering from pretty much
