Fifteen years ago a great wave of educational awa- kening swept over this country. It penetrated every nook and corner of the land, pervading both cities, large and small, and the rural districts. It took the shape of a demand, often almost inarticulate, for reform. The schools were denounced as superticial ; their methods as automatic; their teachers as unintelligent and un- trained, their system of instruction as a mixture of cram and smatter. The school - master is a conservative, and with h...is champions he came promptly to the defence of the old schools and their old methods. The controversy became heated, and soon tiie rival forces joined battle. Col. Francis W. Parker, of the Chicago Normal School, and Dr. James MacAlister, now President of the Drexel Institute of Philadelphia, and others were prominent leaders of the new reform movement, whose banner was "Manual Training, " or "The New Education. " Under this brilliant and enthusiastic leadership the movement became a crusade in the interest of the edu- cational ideas of Montaigne, Rousseau, Bacon, Locke, Comenius, Pestalozzi, Froebel, Spencer, Mann, and their long array of sympathizers and supporters, who, with Bacon, declare that "the end of man is an action, not a thought.
