Nothing is more deadening to a child than to listen to the same voice, see the same surroundings, witness the same methods, and all within the narrow confines of a single room and under the eye of the same teacher. Children become weary of this eternal "sameness."12 Furthermore, the new plan gives the pupils the advantage of being taught by teachers especially trained for the different branches, the gain coming from the better teaching that results from the adaptation of the teacher to the work for which he is best fitted and for which he has made special preparation. When an instructor teaches allied subjects he is able to specialize and do the work well.

There seems to be an increasing demand throughout the country for courses of study similar to those that follow:

Some attention should be devoted to practical problems in Civics, Ethics, Hygiene, Economics, Sociology and Psychology, in connection with the course in English Literature and English Expression. Instead of reading all of the English Classics now required, some books might be studied dealing with the practical problems in the subjects just mentioned. Of course, most of the reading along the lines suggested would be elective, except the study of civic and social problems, which would be required.
