Sauna Time in Education

There is a waste Of at least two years in. the
present plan Of American education. This is the
conclusion reached by q committee of prominent edu-
Gators in a report on "Economy of Time in "Educa.
tion,' Just issued by the United States Bureau of
Education. D.. Il
This conclusion follows an Investigation lasting
nearly 10 years, by a committee of the National
Educational association, OF which President James
II. Baker of the University of Colorado is chairman.
The committee have endeavored to form a plan that
would do away with the two-year loss. They pro-
pose that six years be assigned to the elementary
school instead of eight, as at. present; that the
higl-school period be from age ~ to Is, divided into
two parts, of four and two years each; that college
work extend from is to 20, or 1G to 20, according
10 the lnethod Of distributing the last two secondary
tp&r:: and that graduate or professional work at a
rniNei&iJy cover the years from 20 to "a. This
NCu ENABLE boys and girls to get ample vocational
t:"'i,:as att 1ht age of 49, it would enable those
30 60 OF - college to get through their college work
1t the age OF 20: and it would save the professional
nau from having to wait until p to start his pro-
fessional career.
The report insists 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 elementary schooling they urge: Choose
le lOSl important SUBJECTS anu tile most important
topics; make a distinction between ~frst:rate facts
and principles and t%enth-rate. Contine the period Of
elementary education to mastering the tools of edu-
cation. Include the last two years of the present
elementary school in the period OF secondary educa-
ton and begin the study of foreign language, clement
airy algebra, constructive geometry, elementary sci
ence, and history two years earlier than at present.
Emphasis is laid on the necessity Of concentrating
Oh a few valuable studies: 1.-The great mistake OF

doing a few essential things we'll and without over
strain. The college has committed a grievous mis-
take in. demanding ~eNer more. in~-quantity rather.
than in quality produced. under condition Of healthy

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
individual pupil; and it contains opinions on every
phase OF the question from representative school men
and the general public. @

The POuVer of Tdn,nQnY

The rumor that Charles r. Murphy is to retire
in November from the leadership of TamMany has
led to optimistic prophecies that the tiger, sans tee>@
and sans claws, will no longer terrorize. But the
tiger has a feline multiplicity OF lives. Sometimes an
outraged citizenship has arisen and defeated the all
cient organization at the polls, but when the reform
wave subsidized Tunmany resumed its power. It's
marvellous hold on the voters OF New York CITY is
inexplicable to the people OF the country at large.
who have been amazed by the stories of its corrup-
ton sent broadcast ever since Tweed died i'll jail
following the most shocking revelations Of municipal
dishonesty ever brought to light.
The cohesive power Of public plumber" does not
entirely account for Tamnany's power. 1t is to be
sought partly in its treatment OF the poor and the
distressed. Whatever calamity overtakes them, nun
ger, sickness or arrest, they find a friend in Tal:nany.
in New York City proper there are over 100 mem
bers of the General Committed and each election
district has it's local committee. These are all picked
workers, chosen from the ranks. They know the
people and are in constant touch with them. so
long as they can hold these voters, on whom they
have impressed both their generosity and their power,
they care little about the ordinary taxpayers. They
are certain Of enough thorough partisans to retain
their grip on the city's affairs. Often they are de-
feated in the state, but seldom in the city.
Organized as a patriotic, social and fraternal order
in 1889, Tanmany. aided in the election OF Jefferson
as president eleven years later. 1t has taken a hand
in presidential elections ever since, although its open
support OF a candidate seeking the nomination is Z
handicap. Eut after a nomination its influence is
appreciated. 1t defeated Hancock in 1880 and might
have defeated Cleveland in 1854 but for the notable
loyalty of Hugh Mclaughlin, the boss of Brooklyn,
and for the Republican OBJECTIONS OF various kinds, to
say nothing Of the manipulation Of returns revealed
years later by the: Lexow investigation. Bryan in 1909
made a speech in which occurred the memorable
language: Great is ,Tamnany and Croker is its
prophet" But Bryan needed votes that year. Mr..
Wilson in his letter to Tammany on the Fourth OF
July in 1912 was. very %laudatory Of the membership,
but he failed to anoint Murphy as a prophet. But
Murphy kept rignt8ont prophesying just the same and
has probably Goverdbne the .matter. The society was
named after "a Deleware indian sachem, who sold a
vast tract of land to William Penn. The word Tam
many meant "the affable.' But Penn should have
traded names with him, for lie acquired the domain
for q little ~afability and a few. pieces of silver. In
those days soft words buttered aboriginal parsnips.
The, application Of such a term to Tammany, however,
is rich irony.
