The Waste in Plan of
Public School Education.

There is a waste Of at least two
years In the present plan OF american
education. This is the conclusion
reached by committee OF prominent
educators in a report on Economy OF
Time IN Education Just issued by the
United States Bureau OF Education.
This conclusion follows an investiga-
tion lasting nearly ten years BY COM
mfttee OF the National Education AS
ISOLATION, Of which President James III.
Baker Of the University Of Colorado is
chairman. The committee have en-
deayured to form a plan that would
do away with the two-year loss. They
propose that six years be assigned to
the elementary school instead of eight
as at present; that the high school
period be from age 10 to Is, divided
into two parts, of four and two years
each; that college work extend from
IS to 20, or 16 to 20, according to the
method of distributing the last two
secondary years: and that graduate or
professional work at a university cover
the years from 20 to "a. This would
enable boys and girls to set ample
vocational training after the age OF
~: it would enable those who go to
college to get through their college
work at the age of 20; and 1t would
save the professional man from having
to wait until q to start his professions
al career.
The report insistg that the present
elementary course is too long; that the
ground now covered in eight years
can be covered just as efficiently in
six, allowing secondary work to begin
at the age of IL. To save on clemens
tary schooling they urge: Choose the
most important subjects and the most
important topics; make a distinction
between nrst-rate facts and principles
elementary education to mastering the
tools of education. Include the last
two years or the present elementary
school in the period of secondary edu-
cation and begin the study OF foreign
language, elementary algebra, con-
structive geometry, elementary science
and history two years earlier than at
Enphasis Is laid on the necessity
OF concentrating on a few valuable
studies: '"The great mistake OF our
education is to suppose that quality
and strain constitute education. Edu-
cation is q question of doing a few
essential things well and without over
strain. The college has committed a
grievous mistake in demanding ever
more in quantity rather than in quail
ity produced under condition of healthy /
normal development"
The report takes up the problems
OF saving time in education from the |
point of view of the college, the |
school, and society at large, as well as |
OF the individual pupil; and it contains |
opinions on every phase OF the ques-
ton from representative school men |
and the general public.

Secretary Daniels reiterated today
that the three battIeships of the Sec
ond division Of the Atlantic fleet would
remain in Mexican gulf waters until
further orders, Notwithstanding that
four battleships of the third division
are due at Vera Cruz and Tampico to-
morrow.
Rear Admiral Fletcher, commanding
the second division, will take COM
mand OF the entire squadron. The
New Hampshire and Nebraska will
keep station at Tanpico while the
Louisiana, Michigan, Rhode Island,
Virginia, and New Jersey will await
developments off Vera Cruz In addi-
ton to these seven dreadnoughts, the
gunboat Wheeling and the cruiser Ia
coma are off Vera Cruz while the gum
boats Petrol and Nashville are in
Dominican waters not far away.
On the west coast the armored
cruisers California and Maryland are
at Guayamas and Mazatlan respec-
lively. The gunboat Annapolis also
is at Guayamas and the armored
cruiser Pittsburg is enroute to that
port.

BRYAN ISSUES STATEMENT.
Later today Secretary Bryan issued
a statement. He declined to discuss
the use of the word ultima tum,"
mote" or "advices," saying he had no
more to say than the statement itself
conveyed. 1t was as follows:
Il have made it a rule not to dis
cuss newspaper reports regarding in
ternational subjects, but the nature of
the dispatches from Mexico this morn
ing suggest a departure from the rule
at this time. No ultimat-7m has been
sent to Mexico and it is unfortunate
that the press should give credence to
such a report. The harm done by
speculation or even inaccuracies in
regard to domestic questions is limit
ed because the people are acquainted
with the subject and can make allow
ances, but as misstatements in regard
to the international matters may lead
to serious consequences, feel justi-
fled in making the above denial"
Discussion of the possibility that
President Wilson might again take the
Mexican situation to congress in a
personal address was revived in adj
m1nistration circles again today.

 Letters to Kris KineIe.
 Mail for Santa Claus Is being found these days by the clerks in the local postofice. The Christmas saint is be- ing bombarded with requests for gifts by the trusting little people who know that Santa Clause is a real being and that he is unusually very considerate of the good children that ask favors of him at this particular time of the year. mere IS the usual line or re- quests for dolls, toys. sIeds, etc, etc
 That active and imaginative brains are possessed by some of Kris Krin- gle's little correspondents is plainly demonstrated in the letters; also there are various clues, hidden between the lines, indicating characteristics of the child writers. Expentancy, gratitude offered in advance-lack of the same, modesty, bluntness, good nature and even self1shness are well revealed in the nnissives of the various writers
 While it may seem hardly fair to pick one particular letter from those mailed here for Santa Claus to indicate the extent of the service Santa is ex- pected to render the one in mind is the best example. The modest little writer wants a sled equipped with auto steering wheel and electric lightsi Also a touring car, electric ally lighted. She wants one doll that can open and shut it's eyes and another that can be made to cry, probably to keeping the one awake that has the ability to simulate sleep. These are chief items in the list enumerated. but not everything called for
 Santa gasped when he opened that letter but there were plenty of smales for him in the others and he is going to do the best he can to make Christmas happy for all his little ones
