courage and liberal IDEAS, because
he was frank and just, because he

NEW YORK SCHOOLS TO|
Be RE-TERMED
THE ELEMENTARY AND HIGH
SCHOOL WORK TO BE
EQuALIZED.

NEW YORK, March l6.-If plans
suggested BY special committee are
adopted, the New York public school
system which now extends over a
period Of twelve years eight years
in elementary work. and four years
OF high school work--will be changed
to a six and six basis, Elementary
and high school work will be equaliS-
ed. although the six years OF high
school work will be subdivided into
two equal parts, the first to be known
as sub-high school course, and the
remainder to be finishing work The
plan is approved by the city club and
by leading educators throughout the
country. including Elmer Ellsworth
Brown, United States Commissioner
OF Education. The National Educa-
ton Association at its latest meeting
at Brooklyn also adopted resolutions
Iiavoring the plan. A member OF the
committee explaining the proposal,
said:
"One Of the big features of the
plan is that providing for turning the
child, whose circumstances or in
clination make it desirable, into the
industrial or vocational line of train
ing earlier than is now done, Our
present system aims at the training
OF brain workers and ignores to a
great exten; the training for manual
arts. In the sub-high school two
courses will be provided, one lead
ing, as at present, to the advanced
work OF the regular high schools and
preparatory for colleges The pre-.
paratory course in the sub-high
school will be of an industrial or a
vocational order. leading to the work
of the manual high school or to other
trade schools such as are planned by
the state"
A draft Of the plan has been sub.
mitted TO the charter committee. II
is predicated that the scheme will be
! incorporated in the administrative
code Of the charter.
