KENDALL TALKS
ON EDUCATION

Fyo4n me NEWS corresboa0snt.J

Fron the NEWS Corresbon6entJ
st. Louis, Mo, Feb. 27.-De-
elaring that the day is passed when
any educational system is regarded
as perfection, or any man or set of
men as having said the last word in
education, Dr.. Calvin n. Kendall,
the new state Commissioner of Edu-
cation Of New Jersey, delivered an
address here today on the value of
the educational commission in deter
mining the efficiency of a city school
system. The talk was given before
the National Convention of City and
State superintendent, Principals of
Normal Schools and heads of Uni-
verslties and Departments of Edu-
cation. DR.. Kendall has been a
member OF two or three school in
vestigating commissions, and for
that reason was selected to present
this subject.
Determine School Efficiency.
DR.. Kendall said the attempt to
determine school efficiency by means
of commission Investigation is the
most recent method of determining
what return the community Is get
ting from it's Investment in the
schools and how this investment
TEE ~ 2
may be made t 0 yield greater return.
The speaker said he was skeptical
of finding by any known test or COM
mission report a definite measure OF
the value of much of the teachers
real work. The factory, he said, is
one human institution, the school is
another. The value of the output
of one may be determined in the
office but the whole measure Of the
other institution, the school, cannot
be SO measured. Dr.. Kendall de-
clared that investigation OF the pub
lie schools In any community may
be OF constructive value IN TWO
ways: In the first place, It may re-
veal to the School Board n 10 Lhe
public the strong points OF the
schoolsEfeatures which are I'M
known or unappreeiated. In the
second place, 1t may point out need
ed improvements, which the super
intendent has perhaps urged In VAN
upon callous boards or an 1ndiffer-
emit public.
Investigations More Common.
Commissioner Kendall told the
educators that signs are not wanting
that school investigations will be-
pointed out, were a growing pubilc
interest In education and increased
confidence In the possibilities OF the
schools. Democracy Is looking more
and more to the Q to make
things go well in this country, ne
said. A third sign referred 10 was
public education is becoming slowly
but surely a more serious business
in this country. Efficiency tests,
which excite increased public inter-
est, confidence and support, are
likely to be demanded at a time
when efficiency" seems to be the
popular catch word.
While emphasizing the good re-
that may come from d proper
Investigation of the schools. DR.
Kendall declared that the eduea-
tional commission should be regard
ed as a club to be welded in the
hands Of the enemies which every
superintendent sooner or
makes for himself. Continuing
the discussion. DR.. Kendall said:
