fiHk-lUi ill 13 bad received much in educational matters from Massachusetts and that ia many ways K. S. U. was indebted to Harvard for Ler advance ia the lices of education and that he took pleasure in introducing 60 famous a man in the educational world to a western audience, President Eliot, after a few remarks, began his address. He said in substance- The chief movement in the education of the present is the individualization in tne structure of tne education, unoer which comes "choice" or method, and the individualization of instruction as shown in the laboratory and experimental methods of imparting instructon.

The "elective astem began in Harvard in 1826. Then after the close of the civil war it soon took its present form. There are no groups or courses of study ia Harvard except in the Freshman year. Elective studies are good and the descent of the elective system into the high sehooJs and academifs is progress in specialization. This necessarily leads to different modes of entrance into the higher schools.

There are 2,000 ways in which a student may enter Haryard. That is, 2,000 different courses, each requiring different preparation. This is theoretical. In reality last term, students entered Harvard by eighty-ane different modes. It has been urged that the "elective system lessens the popularity of the classical course with its Latin and Greek.

In Harvard 82 per cent, of the students pursue Latin and Greek while only 8 per cent, take substitute courses. This may be accounted for by th fact that the substitutes for Litin and Greek are ijilhe sciences and mathematics. There is a greater vaiiety of preparation in the high schools of the present than formerly. Especially in the schools of the west is this true. The schools of lower and many of the high schools of Kansas are in advance of the eastern high schools.

There is a freedom in the election of studies which should extend also to the lower grades. The schools of the United States are undemocratic. The poor boy has not the same chances as the rich boy. The schools have a uniform course of instruction which must be followed by those in attendance. The poor boy is compelled to take what is offered, while the rich boy may avail himself of abetter course.

These studies which should be taught when the perceptive powers are the strongest ntd when the memory is the most attentive, such as the different lan guages, natural niBtory, botany, are not taught at that tinm. The study of Latin should begin at ten, while now the age at which this study is entered is fif teen. 1 he western schools teach the languages early cnd see also that draw irg is given a prominent place. In education uniformity is not detirable, divers ity is to be desired. Though uniformity is sometimes a necessary evil, yet aa brains, the mind, the power to grasp ideas are unequal eo in order to sccur the b.

st results must the trailing be diversified. individualization in instruction is pushing out the old method of memoriz ing text books. The presnet method is by instruction in laboratoriss and by individual research. In the physical sciences this is accepted as the best method pud even in the languages and the departments of history it is rapidly becoming recognized. From the unive ernes and colleges it hads its way into the high schools.

What ia good for a scholar in the university is also good for a scholar in the kindergarten. This gives an aim for schors. The tendency is toward specialization in education. The aduit does not like to attempt whatceems to him an impossibility, much less does a child. The best is that which to success or achievement.

If I should be asseo. 10 state wnat 1 considered neces sary in education, what all should know, I should say the mother tongue, English more-uuiy. ociecce, xnearts, languages algebra arithmetic are not necessities. The necessities are very few. The metaphor of a broad foundation is a misap- piicatiou of a term.

A uniform founda tion such as is given in our public schools is not tne best. lUe architects do not lay their masonary, not knowing what the superstructure will be and it should be none the less true in matters of education. The laying out of a course of study for the Freshman and Sophomore years in a college is the building of a foundation without any iiea of what the structure above will be The method of study and research is the fcauie whether the student study the cuntform inscriptions upon the monuments of Babylon, Sanscrit, the dative case in Latin, the Crustacea cr the phenomena of nature. The result in the mind itself in the increase of its powers is the same. Any one study can develop tho niiiid to its utmost, so we need not have any fears from specialization.

In professional education the length of time in school ia becoming longer Eighteen months of school in Harvard used to secure the degree of Bachelor cf Laws. The school year then only ctsn sisttd of two or three months in tha win ter. Now three years of nine months each ia the course for the same degree There is a post graduate course of one year, so that we may say a professional man must study four year3 in order-to attain any pro2citnc5r. The avenge age of those receiving B. A.

at Harvard is twenty-three years, the professional man who enters upon the practice of his profession will 'be As the college -and professional course3 take eight years we look for condensation in instruction below the age cf eighteen. There has been a change in the aim of education from the tld, the imparting of knowledge to on6 of power of research. When Harvard in her cata logue said that in the examinations in Algebra there would be problems with which the applicants were not familiar, but which could be worked by the application of the rules learned there was a violent protest from tbe principals of the schools But experience has shown that it is th9 better way. This new method of instruction hs ehacjred materially and will change the criticism that colleg men are not rad business men. Eleven men of my own one-eighth of the whole are successful men ITh acquisition of power of research is Nation, beweyer.
