BLOW AIMED AT
EDUCATION FADS
AND FURBELOWS

Washington, Oct 29-Two years of
useful life are lost to every Ameri-
can under existing educational condi-
lions, due to the increasing fads aud
furbelows adopted by the latter day
schools and made part of the com
pu1sory curriculum. This is the find
ing of a body of eminent educators.
headed by President James H Baker
of the University of Colorado, whose
report was issued today by the Unit
ed States Bureau of Education.
THE great mistake in our education
is to suppose says the report, that
quantity and strain constitute educa-
ton. Education is a question of do
ing a few essential things well and
without over strain. The college has
committed a mistake in demanding
ever more in quantity than in quality
produced under conditions, of healthy
normal development
The educators, say the bureau Of
ffcials, spent 10 years in visits, and
would have the education of the young
consist Of six years instead of eight.
They would have the pupils prepared
to enter the world at the age Of 20,
or, if DESTROYS of taking up profess
sion, enable them to be equipped with
in two or four years later.

posed benefits be secured from Tnln1es-

Washington, Oct. 29.-Attorneys en-
p1oyed in various capacities by the
Government are looking today with
envious eyes on the trust busting
squad of the Department of Justice.
for COMPTROLLER of the Currency Dow
ner has advised Attorney General Nc
Reynolds virtually that "he can go as
far as he likes in reirnbursing one of
them. The one whose case was brought
up is T. w. Gregory, a special assist
ant, delegated by the Attorney General
May 20 to investigate the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad COM
bine.
Mr.. Gregory is in the happy position
of being eligible to large fee, or
salary, for his services as the depart
ment's special fund can. stand without
vanishing. While there have been in
tfmations that this might be $1,000 a
month and expenses, the Comptroller
has ruled that the Attorney General
may pay any sum he sees fit, provided
only that he remain within the limit
of the trust busting fund appropria-
ton.
The question agitating the young
Government attorneys today is:
