Excerpt from Common Essentials in Spelling: A Word List and Teacher's Manual for Elementary Schools There is a good deal of legitimate complaint concerning the present day grammar school course of study. It is charged that our standards are too exacting, our texts too voluminous, our subjects too congested, the teacher's time overcrowded, and a vast mass of work prescribed that must, necessarily, be done in a hasty, helter-skelter manner. In addition to these complaints, and largely as a result of the facts which they allege, come other charges: that an undue percentage of chil dren are over age, that far too many boys and girls drop out before finishing the common school course; that those who stay are thinly plated with an unsubstantial smattering of many things, and really have very little thorough grounding in even the commonest essentials of the common schools.
