Seavey, art instructor, Normal School, Hamilton, said inâ€" part that the most prominent authorities who direct the methods of modern education in various countries hold the theory that the brain is not a collection of a few general facâ€" ulties, but is comsosed of numberless speciali ations, and tns. power develop ®l through one mental process cannot be transferred to another process. This modern theory, combined with the deâ€" mand for technical and manual training of the boy or girl of toâ€"day, leads us to establish a broader curriculum in the public schools, which brings out all the latent possibilities of the child. This is a syslem which arouses, interests and develops its capacities and so prepares it for selfâ€"reliance in its life work. Mr. T. A.
