However it may he that the subject matter and equipment are not available in the schools for the best instruction in these fields or the teachers are not at liberty to do their best for some reason. Whatever the reason may be it is definitely not entirely the pupil’s fault. The pupil of today is as capable as ever to learn these subjects.
