tcrests of the child would involve
life in the elementary school, the next
! or years in the secondary school
and follow this with the university, or
definite preparation for professional
work. This plan, while much better
suited to the Development of young
people. seems impossible of attain
ment 1T present.
I Plans which promise more immedi-
ate benefits are the reorganization of
the elementary secondary system and
The shortening Of the elementary
school The plans now in operation
for the reorganization of the elemen-
tary-secondary system are, the L year
plan, begun in Gary, Indiana, in
which there is no division between the
elementary school ana the high school.
the CT" plan III which the last two
grammar grades are separately organ
lied and the work letter suited to the
needs of the pupils, the "6-63 plan,
which gives the six high school. the
"6-3-3'' plan, and the IT. plans,
both having junior and senior
high school separately organized.
Some of the advantages of these plans
are: the break between the elementary
and the secondary school is made to
come at a less critical period; greater
change of methods and administration
is made possible; duplication of work
is largely eliminated; subjects better
shifted To the needs of pupils can be
introduced; definite preparation for
vacations can be begun. Conditions
making such Il change possible may
arise at any time and should be taken
advantage Of by the superintendent
and principal.
The belief is general that the change
from tie grade system to the
grade system is wise and should ne
made. New England is the only Sec
ton of the country where the grade
plan is still prevalent and the
tendency here is distinctly toward
the change. In 1912 there were 80
per cent OF the towns in Name, con-
tanning 500 or more children OF schooi
age. that used the > grade plan'
Several school systems in this state
are now changing TO the grace
plan. The statistics presented seem
10 show that in the grade sys-
TENS more pupils are retained TO the
last grade of the grammar school ana
TO the last year of high school thah
in the 9 grade systems. This rep
resents decided gain and IS appar-
emily attended by no evil results that
can be measured. With proper lore
sight and tact in regard to the tran
sition from one plan 10 the other. SUI
nerintendents need have no fear OF ,he
consequences Of such a change.

Reorganization of Our School System.

(Prof. A. J. Jones, U. of NJ
our present school system is not the
result of careful planning, but an at
tempt to unite diverse elements which
arose largely as separate units. 1t Is
not, therefore, completely unified nor
based on the developing needs of the
pupils. The most serious breaks are
those between the secondary school
and the college and between the gram
mar school and the secondary school.
This lack of coordination has resulted
in duplication Of work, an undue
elimination from school, and a lack
or adequate preparation fer life work.
