POPULAR THEATER.

The chief picture that is being
shown at the Popular theater, in two
long reels, is attracting lots of at
tcntion and is getting the patronage
that it deserves. Bible study pictures
always have an interest for the pub
lie. There Is something fascinating
in looking at the very spots where it
is supposed that the Savior trod, and
films on this order never fail to draw
crowd because there can be no
guesswork about item. Take in the
Popular while this great picture is be-
ing shown as it will probably not be
brought here again from the coast.
There is no change in the price of
admission. =

REARRANGE SYSTEM
viii Save Professional Men From
Having to Wait Until They Are
% Years of Age to Start
Professional Career
by G. e. STEWART

Washington, November Especial
A committee of prominent educators in
a report to the United States bureau
of education. on Economy of Time in
Education" declares that there is IA
waste of at least two years in the pres
ent plan of American education.
This conclusion Is reached after an
Investigation lasting nearly 10 years by
a committee of the National Education
association. of which President John FL.
Baker of the University of Colorado. Is
chairman. The committee has endeav-
ored to form plan that will do away
with the two-year loss. They propose
that six years be assigned to the ele-
ulentary school instead of eight as at
present. that the high school period DO
from age IL to IS, divided into two
parts of four years EACH that college
work extend from IS to 20. or 16 to 90,
according to the method of distributing
the last two secondary years, and that
graduate or professional work at a uni
versity cover the years from 20 to "a.
This will enable BOYS andgirls to get
ample vocational training after the age
of -; it would enabletfhose who go on
TO college TO get Though their college
work at the age If 20. and it would save
sthe professional man from having to
wait until q I'd start his professional
career.
The report insists that the present
elementary course is too long; that the
kgro1nd now covered in eight years can
vbe covered just as efficiently in six, al
lowing secondary work to begin at the
age of IL. To save elementary school
ing they urge Choose the most I'M
. portant subjects and the most impor-
tant topics make a distinction between
the first-rate facts and principles and
tenth rate. Confine the periods of ele-
n1entary education to mastering the
tools OF education. Include the last two
years of the present elementary school
in the period of secondary education
and begin the study of foreign Ian
suages, elementary algebra, construc-
tive geometry. elementary science, anu
history two years earlier than at pres
emit"
Emphasis is laid on the necessity OF
concentrating on a few valuable stud
les; THE great mistake of our educa-
ton is to suppose that quantity and
strain constitute education. Education
Is question of doing a few essential
things well and without overtstrain.
The college has committed a grievous
mistake in demanding ever more III
quantity rather than in quality pro-
dueed under condition of healthy nor
pEsal development"
fAe~feport takes up the problem of
saving time in education from the point
of view of the college, the school, and
society at large, as well as the indiyf-
dual pupil, and 1t contains opinions on
every phase of The question from rep
resentattve school men and the general
public.
