New School to Teach Modern
Languages and Sciences

New York, Jan. 20.-The general
education board announced yesterday
that it has decided to support an ex-
pertinent in the education Of the youth
of this country, which, if successful,
will mean practically the complete
modernization Of elementary and
secondary schooling. The plan calls
for a practical demonstration of the
theories advocated by DIR. Charles w.
Eliot. president emeritus of Harvard
University, and Of DR.. Abraham Flick
ncr OF the board.
Teachers College, Columbia Univer-
sity, is the institution which has been
selected for carrying out the far
reaching experiment, and the amount
of money behind it is, as a member
Of the board expressed it yesterday,
whatever it COSTS
Inasmuch as the resources of the
general education board are about
$35,oOO.OOO, provided by John D.
Rock efeller. the financial question is
subordinate one.
The director Of the school, which
will begin it's first session next fall, is
DR.. Otis W. Caldwell Of the University
of Chicago. who is to become men,
Der OF the Teachers College faculty as
professor OF eOucdtlOI. AS LII. rick
ner explained the proposition yester-
day. the experiment marks a real try
1ng-out of the modern school, idea
which is, he added, "a school which
will strive to eliminate the deadwood
the lumber and the slack in education
in the primary and secondary courses
Of instruction, and give a stimulus to
natural and scientific instruction. so
that the curriculum may be better
n adapted to the needs OF modern life.'
In the modern school," as contem-
plated by the board, Greek and Latin
will have no part. and their places
will be taken by French, German, and
Spanish. Science will be emphasized
in everything. it being the view of the
board that modern education has not
begun to realize the benefit of modern
science" The students who will be
matriculated next fall will be boys and
girls between the ages of and 1S
years.

anxious TO protect themselves against

cure a reinsertion OF the Gard cen

the House on May last in a moment

has openly taken stand with his SEN

upon to make a desperate fight for
their pet measure.

Meat is the most expensive article

Uric acid retained within the body is
believed to be the preceding stage or

meats often increases uric acid.
