SAVING TIME IN EDUCATION.
Present Plan of American Education
Wastes Two Years.

There is waste of at least two years
in the present plan of American educa.
ton. This is the conclusion reached by
a committee of prominent educators in
a report ON Economy of Time in Edu.
cation" just issued by the United States
bureau of education.
This conclusion follows an investiga.
tion lasting nearly 10 years by com
mittee of the National Education asso-
citation, of which President James II
Baker, of the University of Colorado, il
chairman. The committee have endeav'
ored to form a plan that would do away
with the two-year loss. They propose
that years be assigned to the elemen-
tary school instead of 8 as at present
that the high school period be from age
II to Is, divided into two parts OF foui
and two years each; that college work
extend from Is to 20, or 10 to 20, &C
cordng to the method of distributing
the last two secondary years; and that
graduate or professional work at a uni
yersity cover the years from 20 to "a
This would enable boys and girls to get
ample vocational training after the age
of II: it would enable those who 90 on
to college to get through their college
work at the age of 20; and it would
save the professional man from having
to wait until q to start his professional
career.
The report insists that the present
elementary course is too long; that the
ground now covered in years can be
covered just as efficiently in g. allowing
secondary work to begin at the age OF
~. To save ON elementary schooling
they urge: "Choose the most important
subjects and the most important topics
make a distinction between first rate
facts and principles and tenth-rate. Con-
fine the period of elementary education
to mastering the tools of education. In
clude the last two years of the present
elementary school in the period of sec
ondary education and begin the study of
foreign language, elementary algebra,
constructive geometry, elementary
science, and history two years earlier
than at present"
Emphasis is laid on the necessity of
concentrating on a few valuable studies;
"The great mistake of our education is
to suppose that quantity and strain
constitute education. Education is a
question of doing a few essential things
well and without overstrain. The col
lege has committed a grieyous mistake
in demanding even more in quantity
rather than in quality produced under
condition of healthy normal develop
ment."
The report 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 of the in
dividnal pupil; and it contains opinions
on every phase of the question from rep
school men and the general
public

The minister of church in a small
village was noted for his absentminded-
ness. One Sunday morning, as told in
the Philadelphia Star, he stopped sud
denly in the middle of the sermon, gazed
out of the window and muttered: knew
she would; / knew she would" After
the service was over someone asked him
the reason. "Dear me-" said he, "did IL

Horse Stumbled Over Dirt Piles, Fell and
Broke Its Back.

A horse being driven by DR.. r. II.
Newton, accompanied by his niece, Miss
Martha Richardson, stumbled over piles
of dirt left by the street department,
after clearing up the streets for winter,
in turning out for another team, and
fell, breaking it's back, SO that it had
to be shot on the spot. 1t was while
driving along School street Thursday
evening that the accident happened.
When the outfit turned out for the 9th
er team, the animal stumbled over one
of the dirt piles, but was refined up,
only to take few steps and stumble
over another, which threw the horse
headlong and twisted its head under.
The occupants of the wagon were I'M
injured, although DIR. Newton was kicked
by the animal when he tried to help it
up His heavy overcoat, however, saved
him from being hurt. A veterinary was
called, but nothing could be done to save
the animal which had been in the fam
lily for rs years and was great pet.
Frank Goss, the electric car conductor
who fell from the car some time ago
and has since been confined to Heaton
hospital, is able to sit up and expects
soon to be able to leave the hospital.

The formal opening of M. Il. Chase's
new furniture store and undertaking
rooms took place Thursday afternoon
and evening in his enlarged store in the

people. At $3.50 dinner was given at
the Northfeld house by Mr.. Chase to
the band, the participants in the concert,
the Mortified News force and others, go
covers being laid. The store was open
all evening and was inspected by many
more people. At 8 o'clock concert was
given in the Armory, the following pro-
gram being very well rendered to an
audience of 600, which entirely filled the
hall and the ante-room: Selection,
Mortified band; song, Mayo and Marion
Ingalls,; duet, Mrs. Flint and Mr.. Smith;
selection, male quartet; duet, Mr.. Cup

crowded for the most part of the even
ing, but when the dance was about half
over, the onlookers began to leave and
then more room was given for dancing.
Nearly 1000 people visited the store dur
ing the afternoon and evening and at
tended the concert in the Armory.

Cinders.

1--we got cinder in my eye!" How
! frequently We hear this expression in
the street, especially when the air is
| filled with dust and smoke, or anywhere
beneath the network of elevated tracks.
| While this may seem a trivial mishap,
and often is if the foreign substance is
| Immediately removed from the eye, yet
| it is often a most serious thing, and the
public at large little realizes that a
seemingly unimportant accident of this
sort may result in serious and perma-
nent impairment of vision. The mem
brane covering the eyeball is very del
icate structure, and when even a tiny
speck of any foreign matter lodges on it,
it quickly becomes imbedded. The ir-
ritation thus set up causes the person to
wink the eve frequently, and each time
the lid closes, rubbing against the par
ticle it tends to imbed it still farther
into the membrane. The efforts of sym
pathizing friends to remove the offend
ing speck with a handkerchief or a
wooden toothpick, instead of helping the
situation, usually results in making a
bad matter worse, from the damage thus
done to the tissue. Infection is then
easily carried deeper into the tissue. and
an ulcer results. If the process reaches
this stage, even if the cause should be
completely removed, it would perhaps be
too late to prevent scar after the ulcer
heals. 1t might be so faint as to be
hardly distinguishable, yet if it is sit
uated just in front of the pupil, as very
frequently happens, the vision of that
eye would be seriously and perhaps per-
manently impaired.
The public should understand the
seriousness of such occurrences, and
public spirit should be aroused to
the point of insisting on municipal regu-
lation, eliminating smoke and dust as
far as possible from city streets. Hay-
ing the streets washed every night, as
is done in many of the European cities,
instead of having them swept during
the day, and prohibiting the burning of
soft coal within the city limits, would
go long way toward remedying this
evil
