DO you understand the meaning OF
the above heading? The 6-3-3 plan of
school organization is the newer Way
OF grouping the grades OF public
schools. From the dim and distant
1ayt to the present the first eight
grades have been grouped together as
the elementary school, and the sue
seeding four years grouped together
az the high school. This may be call.
ed the S-4 plan. The more recent tend
sncy is to group the first six grades to-
gether as the elementary school, the
next three together as the Junior high
school, and the last three together as
ahe senior high school. The scheme
means far more than the mere re-.
grouping of grades and remaining Of
divisions. 1t includes a reOrganiza.
ton of courses, Of methods, OF sys-
tens of management-a whole change
Of front.
Under the 6-3-3 plan the elementary
school is intended to Systematically
cover the fundamental elements of the
common branches; the Junior high
school through reorganization OF
course of study and plan of manage
ment, with much that resembles the
present day high school in it's makeup,
sg designed to ID t.,ree things: ~
70 avoid repetition of the elementary
schocl, lZ) TO articulate much better
with the high school, (3) to fit the
age and nature of it's pupils much bet
ter without regard to what prOcedes
or follows; and the senior high school
now becomes somewhat more of a
school of specialization, somewhat
more of technical school, somewhat
more of peoples college. The plan
involves change and adjustment all
along the line, but the greatest change
by far would be in the intermediate
division or Junior high school.
The following culled from an out
line in the Journal of Education, by
Brayford Griffin, very wildly sets
forth the reasons for and advantages
of the junior high school,

parallel to child's own development,

Danger SiQnaI

II the fire bell should ring would you
run to stop it or go and help to put out
the fire? It is much the same way
with a cough. A cough is a danger sig
nal as much as fire bell. You should
no more try to suppress it than to stop
a fire bell when it is ringing, but
should cure the disease that causes
the coughing. This can nearly always
be done by taking Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Many have used it
with the most beneficial results. 1t is
especially valuable for the persistent
cough that so often follows a bad cold
or an attack of the grip. Mrs. Thomas
Beeching, Andrews, Ind, writes:
During the winter my husband takes
cold easily and coughs and coughs.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the
best medicine for breaking up these at
tacks and you cannot get him to take
any other" Obtainable everywhere.

for Reorganization of the American
Secondary School," finds even that
the per capita cost under the new ar
rangement is less than under the old

The Junior high school will render

democratic. Notice the statement,
Equal opportunity for all must cease
to mean the same curriculum for ALL"
by Homer w. Josselyn; and Professor
E. V. D. Robinson's statement that
I'VE cannot forever go on sacrificing
educational efficiency to a fetish Of
equality represented by uniform

Junior high school meets demands
of modern life more fully than present
system. Schools should prepare pu-
pills for the next step, whether that be
for life, for the higher school, or for
college. At present, our schools are
taking little account of the large ma
iority of pupils who cannot prepare
for or do not wish a higher education.
Junior high school plan relieves con-
gestion of curriculum of both element
