EDUCATION SYSTEM
CALLED WASTEFUL
RECOMMENDS THAT NATIONAL
BUREAU MAKE
CHANGES.

WASH NGTON. oct. 30.--There is
waste of at least two years in the
present plan of American education.
This Is the conclusion reached by
committee If prominent educators in
report on Economy of Time in Edu-
cation" just issued by the United
States bureau of education,
This conclusion follows an investi-
CATION lasting nearly ten years by a
committee Of the National Education
association. of which President James
H Baker. Of the University of Col
orado, is chairman. The committee
has euaeavnred to form a plan that
would do away with the two-year loss.
1t proposes that six years be assigned
to the elementary school instead of
eight as at present; that the high
school period he from age twelve to
eighteen, divided into two parts Of
four and two wears each; that college
work be extended from eighteen TO
twenty.or sixteen to twenty, according
to the method of distributing the last
two secondary years; and that grad
aate or professional work at a uni
vcrsity cover the wears from twenty
/ 10 twenty-four This would enable
boys and girls 10 get ample vocational
training after the age of twelve; II
would enable those who 60 on to col
leEe to get through their college work
at the age Of twenty, and 1t would
save the professional man from hay
ing II wait until twentE-seren to start
his professional career. II Is agreed
The report insists that the present
elementary course Is too long; that
the ground now covered in eight years
can he covered lust as efficiency ir

gin at the age Of twelve To save or

VICE OF sULzER TO TIES.
TlFY FALSELY.
TOLD TO FORGET" LETTER
Governor Requested Banker Morgen.
THAI Be Leniert When Giving
Evidence to Impeachment
Court, Witness Says.

Albany, N. Y.-The direct charge
that Gov. Sulzer asked him to
commit perjury was made by Duncan
W. Peck, state superintendent of pub
lie works, when testifying at the Sui.
ger impeachment trial. Peck said he
gave Sulzer $500 Immediately after
he was nominated for governor. Last
July he was ~subpoenaed before the
Frawley committee to testify.
Il went to the governor in the ex-
ecutive chamber" he said, "and
showed him the letter and asked him
what 1 would do. He told me, For,
get it, l asked him what l could do
if they had me under oath, as they
probably would. He replied;
"'Oh, do as l shall, forget it,"
Witness Asked for Conference.
Peck's statement came after Henry
W. Morgenthau had testified that Sui,
ger asked him to be as lenient as
possible in his testimony before the
impeachment court. Morgenthau said
the request was made after he had re-
fused Suffers request to come to AL,
bany for a conference with the gov
ernor.
almost Immediately after l re-
turned from Europe a few weeks ago.
Morgenthau said, 81 was called on
the long distance telephone by Gov.
Sulzer. He invited me to come to
Albany to see him. | told him it was
out of the question at that time. Then
he asked me whether l was going to
testify at his impeachment trial.
told him that l had been ~subpoenaed
when / made that reply, Gov. Sui
ger said to me: 4 hope you will be
easy with me- l told him that l would
=. have to recite the facts exactly as they
were. He then asked me whether ]
could not treat the affair between us
as personal, but l told him that
could not do So"
The revelation that the governor
had been in personal communication
with witnesses since the trial was
decided on seemed to stun the Sulzel
lawyers. They conferred a moment
and then asked M%orgenthau whether
he was certain that the conversation
he had related was exactly as it had
taken place. He replied that this was
the substance, and was quickly ex
cused.
