1510. Armstrong, Henry E. Science and the school. School world (London) 16:333-37, September 1914.

Writer says the great mistake in English schools is that of attempting to teach the elements of this or that special branch of science; what we should seek to do is to impart the elements of scientific method and inculcate wisdom, so choosing the material studied as to develop an intelligent appreciation of what is going on in the world. It must be made clear, in every possible way, that science is not a mere body of doctrine, but a method; that its one aim is the pursuit of truth."

1511. Churchman, Philip H. On the teaching of French pronunciation. School review, 22: 545-54, October 1914.

Says that good results will come from hard work alone. "But this hard work can be simplified by the scientific method, the inductive approach, and the prin ciple of contrast by perspective."

1512. Clark, Clifford P. The translation habit. Classical journal, 10: 17-28, October 1914.

Denounces the use of the " so-called pony" as the "most insidious influence tending to undermine Latin study." Presents measures to prevent such use, as follows: "1. Banishment of the translation by the lecture method; 2. Banishment by compulsion, in the form of a pledge or law; 3. Banishment by making the student a butt of ridicule; 4. Banishment by insistence on important details; 5. Banishment of the translation by making sight translation' the final and supreme test for promotion," etc.
