Rapid growth is not generally followed by the most enduring product, either in the vegetable. or the animal world. How often has it been noticed that boys and girls pushed beyond the powers of physical endurance in their ystudies at the Public and High ‘Schools have a!terwards fallen behind in the race, and how often have the men who have gone into the univers- .ity,and carried off the gold medal done so at the expense of their physi- cal strength so that their coursehas been more like those of brilliant met- eors. which soon disappear than of stars which continue toâ€" shine. Cram has been the curse of our ed- ucational system for nearly a. genera- ‘tion. Every child has been largely re- garded as material for the great ma- chine into one end of which he enters. and out of which he comes at the other, either a 'fin‘ished product or a cull. This is not as, it ought-to be. and happily the trend of 1niodern edu- cational thought is against it. It is a pity that so high a functiOna’ry as the Governor-General should encour- age the ,systernpffei‘amming, for the opinion is here honestly expressed that there is but a very small percen- tage of children who can pass the en- trance at eleven years old without cramming. What about the ; ‘ great number who cannot be crammed. whose memories are not Sufliciently retentive ? Are they not worthy of consideration ? Undoubtedly they are.
