Synopsis

Excerpt from Rules and Regulations of the Public Schools: Of Houston Heights Municipality Harris County, Texas

In my judgment, the principal defect Of the' public school system is lack of thoroughness. I believe too much ground is attempted to be covered, and too many advanced studies are taken up before the pupils have become thorough in the elementary branches of knowledge. In my judgment it is better to teach a few things thoroughly, so that the child will be a complete master of them, than to teach many studies imperfectly, with the result that the child does not under stand any Of them with sufficient thoroughness to be able to make practical use of them. Under the present system chil dren are required to take up other and more advanced work before they have sufficiently mastered the elementary work of reading, spelling, w11t1ng and elementary mathematics.
