TAFT SAYS SCHOOL
WORK SUPERFICIAL
Former President, in Address to
Teachers, Advocates National
University for Pedagogues
MUCH VALUABLE TIME WASTED

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Nov. "a
The conversion of the United States
bureau of education into a national
University for School Teachers, was
advocated today by former President
William Howard Taft, in an address
before the New York State Teachers
association.
Mr.. Taft criticised the present
system OF education in the United
States as being in many instances In
efficient and superficial and sug-
gested that the federal government
mightysshaeaghs-a system. OF inspec-
tion and criticism. aid the states in
bringing about higher standard,
both in respect to teachers and
methods.
Explaining his scheme for cooperation
of the federal and state authorities, Mr.
Taft said:
Through its bureau 'of education, the
national government might help to pro-
mote state education by offering ma
chinery to the people Of the municipality,
Of county or a state. by which they
might, IL they chose, have the schools
they pay for investigated ana the value
Of the education given tested by a
survey OF officers or United States
bureau OF education"
Higher standards Needed.
Referring TO his plan for making the
bureau of education a national university
for teachers Mr. Taft said:
by searching and thorough teachers
examination. the federal certificates
would acquire high value for their hold
ers and the professional qualification for
teaching would be generally improved"
AS a proof OF the defects OF the present
system, Mr. Taft referred to the report
of the Carnegie foundation for the ad-
vancement of teaching. which showed
that the local school superintendents OF
some states cannot spell or write good
English.
Referring to the criticism. which, he
said was widely and justifiable made
that American school children received
only superficial education. Mr.. Taft
said:
"The criticism that we hear from Eng
land of the Rhodes scholars ought tc
give us anxiety as to our system OF ed
ucation and bring TO our minds that ouI
standards are not as high as they shoult
be; that our discipline has a certain
degree OF flabbiness.
Valuable Time vested.
Mr.. Taft declared that There was
most important waste OF valuable human
time In the years OF the life OF the DO!
and the girl between and IA years.

Mr.. Taft declared that There was a
most important waste OF valuable human
time In the years OF the life of the boy
and the girl between and IA years.
In the German schools and in the
English schools" he said, ''the amount
that boys between and IA are required
to commit may well command our ad-
miration and wonder because 1t is so
out OF proportion to the amount that we
require OF our children. The German
youth at Is is as well prepared to enter

work, longer hours and fewer vacations"
