O I it s Talk it liver . U, ....

Welve noticed beginnings such as "'!'hey've, discovered" and "It has been found" and sometimes used by people who would have us be- lieve that our modern pupils are much behind those of yesteryear We hope it will not be considered impertinent if we ask: ”Who's dis- covered?" Those people do not seem to realise that saying:" It has been found that pupils are not so well grounded in English. etc., etc." doesn't prove a" thing, is in fact useless as argument, unless ,they deal in more specific terms. and refrain from using those vague generalities.

In the sports realm Lionel Con- ncher says present day hockey is inferior to the hockey of his day. Ty Cobb says the same thing a- bout baseball. and John L. Sul- livan. abgut boxing. The passing years are rose-colored glasses through which we view the dear dead days beyond recall. If Noah could come back, he would doubt.-. less be contemptuous about mod- ern navigational methods. and Eve might remark that the apples pro- duced by present-day fruit grow- ers wouldrilt tempt a cat to eat a canary.

O I C You extollers of the incomparable past. is there any proof for such statements about the superiority of preceding generations? Have you any statistics or experiments, or tabled results which will give com- parisons between today and your heyday? If you have, we'd like to hear them. They would be much more likely to cinvince people than "It has been found -". O C 0

We'll admit it is a little difficult to find means of comparing the present and the past in some forms of endeavour. You-can't. get Rocky Mariano and Jack Dempyey back in the same ring, both of them in their prime. But modern educa- tionists did do something to refute the opinions of the old-timers. They dug up a set of examinations given in the latter part of the nineteenth century and the ans- wers given by the pupils of that day. They submitted the same questions to an average group of modern pupils. and compared the answers to those of the boys and girls of Queen Victoria's reign. Ac- cording to the results. the modern pupil showed a marked superiority over his older brother. and this was noticed particularly in his method of handling the English language.
