Author's summary.— It is a question whether “horse sense,” as discussed in a recent article by F. E. Hawkins, will lead all teachers along the same paths. Some of the suggestions made there and certain classroom procedures at direct variance with them may be said by different persons to be based upon good sense. While the present confusion lasts among the theorists and experts, we shall be compelled to solve many of our own problems, but the solutions will tend to vary with each teacher and almost with each student.
