Each student should have something of each. Each embodies a distinct method, a definite mental movement, not found adequately represented in any other branch. T he first principle proposed for the selection of a nor mal boy's course of study is that he should take at least something from each chief department. T he second principle is that the boy should be allowed and advised to elect what studies he will take within each de partment. tends to interest the student.] T he studies within departments are to be made elective. Our greatest lack, particularly in courses in which the humanities pre vail, is the meagerness of opportun ity for rigorous outgoing motor ex pression. T h is can be found most effectively in laboratory practice and in manual training.
