To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This extempore writing means of course that the subjects given out must be fairly familiar to the pupils ; but such a restriction is I think a useful one on other grounds as well. The teaching of SCIENCE next claims our attention. It is no longer necessary to insist on the value of scientific knowledge in general, as well for its bearing on practical life as for its discipline of the mental powers. There are still wide differences of opinion, however, both as to the particular sciences which sh...ould be embraced in a school education, and as to the amount of time and energy which they should receive in proportion to each other, and in proportion to other subjects. In the case of boys, the question is complicated by the controversy as to the value of classical studies and the attempt to deal with technical training, but in regard to girls these points do not come into view, and the only test to be applied is the value of such studies as a preparation for the general duties of life. I shall not at- tempt to formulate a definite scheme of scientific study as it might be ideally conceived, but rather to consider generally what particular branches sliould be introduced into the school course, and to offer some indication as to the relative places they should hold, and the methods by which they should be taught.
