PLANS MODERN SCHOOL,
Scheme to RevoIutionize Present sys-
" fem Has Three Re For 9asis.

Scheme to Revolutionize Present Sys.
tenn Has Three Re- For Basis.
New York, April 3.-The general ed
ucation board, founded by John D.
Rockefeller Sunday invited expressions
Of opinion as to the feasibility Of es-
tablishing modern school, which ac-
cording to Abraham Flexner, assistant
secretary Of the board, who submitted
the plan, would revolutionize the pres
ent educational system.
In announcing the proposed innova-
ion, which not only would change the
curriculum now In vogue in schools and
college but would attempt to utilize as
its laboratory ""the accessible world"
the general education board declared
its sole interest was ITO facilitate the
trial of promising educational expert
ments under proper conditions:
"The curriculum Mr.. F1exner
said Includes nothing for which an
affirmative case can not be made out.
The modern school would drop the
study OF formal grammar. For such
evidence as we possess points to the
futility Of formal grammar as an aid
to correct speaking and writing.
5$ "A modern school would not go
thru the form Of teaching children
useless historic facts just because
previous generations OF children have
learned and forgotten them
aside from reading, writing, spell
ing and figuring, the curriculum OF
the modern school would he built out
OF actual activities In science. tn
duetry, aesthetics md civics. The
work in science would be the central
and dominating feature" "

Washington, April 3.-Action on the
nomination Of Louis D. Brandeis to
the supreme court was postponed to-
day after the senate had received
reports from all but one Of the sena-
tors on the subcommittee. Senator
Fletcher made report merely recon-
mending confirmation. Senator Walsh
made a long report and Senator Chill
ton will submit a report tomorrow.
i Senator Cummins and Works made
reports in opposition to 1.-The contirma-
ton.
In his report Senator Walsh said:
-"The only crime this man has
committed is that he has opposed men
in high places. If he never assails the
doer of evil who stands high in the
market place, either in the court or
before the public, he will have no
enemies The man who never repre-
sants the public or in any great
forensic contest but always the cause
Of corporate wealth never has these
troubles .,.y l
Is Too Radical.
( "An analysis Of the evidences has
led me to conclude that the nomination
should. be rejected" said Senator
Works. II am in sympathy with much
Of the work Mr.. Brandeis had been
doing, Much Of this. he has done gen.
erously. and for the common good.
'Some of his friends say he is radt-
cal and for that reason he has Of
fended -the conservatives. That may
be no reproach. but. the temperament
that has made him many enemies
would sdetract from his usefulness as
4 judge. Hesis Of the material that
makes good advocates. reformers and
crusaders. but not good nor ,safe
Judges. To place a man on the SUI
pren1e court bench who rests under'
cloud would be grievous mistake.
Senator Cumnins' report was made
public yesterday. He said Mr. Bran;
deisg, has "lost tiie confidence of so
large an element of the profession OF
which he. is member. and of the
country. Of which he is a citizen, as to
,vitally impair his usefulness as a JUS
ftce of the supreme court.

that the coming offensive by the all

conference, holds the element Of

so far, there is no indication.
