We desire to consider it from a student's point of view, although not restricting ourselves to this, - feeling that many of the defects in the modern educational systems are due to a neglect to recognize that there are these two views of education, the teacher's and the student's. It will be well to explain what we understand by these terms. By the teacher's view, we mean the theory of education as propounded by instructors and school committees, and as practically carried out in the educational institutions of the present day. By the student's view, we mean that knowl edge of the inadequacy of a large part of modern education to really satisfy an earnest mind, which is gained by the student who possesses a decided aim in his pursuit of study, and who not only studies, but also thinks.
