WASTING TINE IN SCHOOLS?

Is time wasted in tue American
school sysem? That question 10 brot
up anew by a circular sent out by q
committee of the National Council of
Education and signed by Prof. "A. W.
Small of the University Of Chicago
The committee, according to Doctor
Small, is working on the hypothesis
that two years may Ne saved in the
years devoted to school and college.
with advantage to the pupils. It's
provisional time plan L. to devote to
elementary education the Years from
s to II; to secondary education the
years fror IL to IL, with two dfvis-
ions, one Of four y'ars, the other Of
two; to college the years from 10 to
20 or II to 20.
The PROPOSAL permits an intermed-
late industrial school to be attended
by pupils between the ages Of Il
and Is, so that those who could not
give more time than thai to educa-
ion should have training that would
lie useful in helping them make q liv-
ing at the age of 16.
The larger Sigh schools would give
two years # tile usual college course,
so hat their graduates could finish
college at 20. The smaller high
schools would send their graduates to
college at 16 for Agar course.
This plan is merely put forward for
discussion. But it is interesting as
showing the feeling Of dissatisfaction
with existing conditions and the aet-
tation that is going on to bring the
schools into closer connection with
the problems Of every day living.

Is the American schools a failure?
This is question that has been ALL
swered by number of brainy school
men in the Ladies' Home Journal ana
they agree pretty generally that the
system is very faulty It is agreed
that too much lis taught in our public
schools that 10 not practical, that does
not particularly fit the young man or
the young woman for the vacations of
after life. It used to be considered
that algebra and geometry were quite
necessary ia the training Of the fac
ulties Of youth. A high school course
was not complete without a smatter-
ing of Latin or Greek. The student
was compelled to spend many valu-
able hours in learning his lessons in
Ancient history, but little attention
was given to current events. Tho
high school course is far better than
in former years, however. Today tue
