TEACHERS WITH BRAINS
SCHOOLS BIGGEST NEED, DE.
cLAREs HOWARD c. ELLIOTT.
Chancellor of Montana University Ad'
vocates Adjustment Of Prinei-
pals and Primary Grades.

| Denver.-As parting shot at the
present system OF education Chancel-
| ior Howard C. Elliott of the Univer-
sity of Montana told the teachers of
the Colorado State Association, at its
final session, that. if he could have
his way, he would conduct schools
without principals and would abolish
all the grades from the first to the
eighth. our present educational sys-
TEN has become a pieceworle organi-
zation. In our highly specialized man
ner of working, we take the child and
teach him more kinds of branches
than you and | know, and we lose
sight of that great force of person
ality in our work. If | could have my
way 1 would have one teacher take
the elementary work of the child up
to the eighth grade and | would make
that teacher responsible for that
child. 1 want to bring out the fact
that there is little need OF formal
teaching in schoolroom.
I'VE have been trying to get that
idea for twenty years. but in every
case where We have eliminated one
branch we have added two. l believe
that my boys can learn all the arith-
metic they will need in a half hour
a day for a few years. and 1t is ten
TO one that they will forget half Of
that. II is high time that the business
of teaching is gotten into the hands
of the teachers and out of the hands
of the trustees and principals and
school boards, which in my opinion
are the impedimenta of the present
system of education"
Mr.. Elliott said that he believed
the greatest work which educators
had to do in the coming era was to
bring the newspapers of the country
to the realization of their power and
the good they can be in education.
''Partisanship is the bane of the
newspaper in its relation to educa-
tioD," he said. "A partisan paper can
tear down in week more than the
whole educational system can build
up We must work thru the press and
show how 1t must help us in building
up the morality of the people and the
children
The meeting just closed has been
the largest in point OF attendance
ever held and educators of the state
say that greater interest has been
shown than ever before.

time had been holding the upper hand
over the Austro-Germans, forcing them
to give ground have now been stopped,
the Teutons having brought up rein
forcements. In the Predeal pass re
