to improve the NewYork school system

adhering to one fixed schedule,
What Was Claimed
For the System

What is the so-called "Gary" sys-
TEN?
AT the steel town of Gary, named
for the chairman of the Steel Corpo-
ration board, William Writ, school
principal and educator, inaugurated
the duplicate school--that is, two
schools moving through one-and thus
doubled schools daily capacity. At
the same time he had certain play
work-study features, based funda-
mentally on the theory of Froebel. who
asserted years ago that all children
were creative rather than receptive,
and that educational work should be
based on this inherent tendency of
theirs to express themselves in action.
The social accomplishments of the
system are an important feature. They
give to the very large element of for
eign children, who are poorly housed
and poorly looked after, a day full of
absorbing interests, made up of class
room work, manual work and play.
Mr.. Writ says: "Let us crowd more
things into the life of child. Let US
give him more impressions and
greater variety of impressions" So he
introduces foreign languages, science
and great deal of shop work into the
early years, which in the curriculum
OF the average public primary and
grammar school are devoted wholly to
the study of fundamentals
Perhaps the child does not derive
much exact information from the shop
work, the science and the language
courses, but Mr.. Writ claims that the
New-York tribune., 1918-07-07

Impressions gained in this way give
him background for the study of
these subjects when he enters the high
school. The foreign language has a
more familiar look and sound, and the
physics and chemistry are not entire
ly unheard Of propositions.
To allow the child to study those
things which he likes to learn, in the
manner in which he likes to learn
them, is the keynote of Mr.. WHt's sys-
tenn. He claims that by introducing
into the lower grades subjects which
usually are taught in the high schools
he will be able to save his students
two years.
While the usual conception Of the
Gary schools is that they are designed
primarily for vocational and practical
training Mr.. Writ denies that this is
the aim of his study course. 1t is
true that he begins his manual train
ing in the lower grades, that he tries
to give this course a practical value.
For instance, he expects the pupils in
the shops to manufacture the things
they use in school. Girls studying do
mestic science are supposed to conduct
a lunchroom and to prepare and sell
luncheons. Boys in the printing shops
are expected to print the school pub
lications and those in the carpenter
shop to make some Of the school fur
niture. Still, when he starts children
in these courses he has something
else in mind besides making them
cooks, housekeepefs, carpenters and
printers. Lavish furnishings, labora-
tories, shops and auditorl lums are q
feature of the system.
In Gary schools children: are not re-
quired to do much studying at home
and Mr.. Writ claims that his system
places very little responsibility upon

admirers Of the eductional system that
has fallen under official displcasure.
But an answer to their question
comes briefly from the Board Of Edu-
cation, and even from upholders of the
system while it was on approval in this
city 1t is to the effect that while GER
tain features of Mr.. Wirt's system were
tried out here, including shop and audi
torium work, the so-called Gary schools
in New York had only slight rescm-
blance to the schools in Gary. Hence
the notifications that have been in
force since January-the abolition of
the Intensive departmental system be-
low the fifth and sixth years. and the
dropping of auditorium work except for
assembly purposes, with, however. p corr
responding maintenance of the dupli-
cate school system and manual activ;-
ties for the older children. are mt

Notifications in Force
Since January De-

provement

grammes have been changed by elimi-
mating the Objectionable features from
all schools except Public Schools 45,
Bronx, and 80, Brooklyn. An addition
to the former building is nearing COM
pletion and it would be inadvisable to
disturb the organization of the school
until this addition is complete. Even
in No. 80, Brooklyn, many changes
have been made. and further study
is being made of that school by the
superintendent in charge.
"The chief changes to which atten-
tion might be called are as follows:
'The duplicate programme has been
eliminated almost completely from the
lower grades. Specialization or depart
mental teaching (the teaching of a
single subject by special teacher) has
also been largely eliminated for these
children, and teachers now generally
work.
Long auditorium periods for little
children have been eliminated and.
wherever possible, all auditorium ex-
ercises for these children, except for
assembly purposes, have been aban-
doned.
"Shop work, cooking, sewing and
elementary science are limited to the
older children.
"The Board of Superintendents re-
corded its disapproval of departmental
work throughout the eight years, de-
claring its belief that the pupils Of
the first four years should have their
own teacher continuously for all
academic work, SO as to insure proper
guidance"
1t is evident that certain features Of
the Gary plan still exist, although in
modified folm; that is, the duplicate
school still exists for the older chill
dren, and shopworking, cooking, sew
ing and elementary science have not
been removed from their curriculum.
New-York tribune., 1918-07-07
Called Formula,
Not a System

"The so-called Gary system as ap-
piled to the schools Of New York was
formula, not a SYSTEM" said Dr. Eft
finger.
"The schools here That FOR time op-
Grated on that system were not at all
like the schools at Gary because Of the
physical limitations of the buildings.
Public School 45 in The Bronx, for
some years Gary school in spirit, was
and still is the best example Of the
Gary plan in New York. Because of its
physical facilities for such work and
because of it's enriched equipment the
work is being permitted to go on there
as an experiment.
an other cases it was found neces-
sary to make changes. The auditorium
system for very young children was
found to be impracticable. The IRON
sive departmental training in the lower
grades has been abolished. Children
instead of changing teachers for every
subject remain with the same teacher
in all subjects until the fifth or SIKH
year
SIN some of the schools the shops
and auditoriums have been removed
The amount of money spent in useless
renovating of buildings with no benefit
to education whatever has been scan
dalous."
William H. Allen, of the Institute of
Public Service, thinks two Gary schools
should be maintained in every city
Had the original number in New York
not been permitted to exceed twelve

fully retained. he declares. The undue
haste with which the affair was handled
killed the experiment before it had
been fairly tried out.
New-York tribune., 1918-07-07
Racial Tendencies
Disturb the Standard

Mr. Mccarthy, assistant to DR..
Meleney in revising the programmes in
accordance with the wishes of the pres
ent administration, in speaking of the
changes, calls attention to the fact that
the intensive departmental system has
been abolished below the fifth year in
all schools and below the sixth year
IN the greater number. Manual activi-
t;es are confined to pupils OF the sixth,
seventh and eighth years. The present
system admits of finding cut d child's
bent and then encouraging it to take
helpful courses rather than forcing
upon a child at the outset of school
life industrial. commercial, manual or
academic, i. e., vocational, training.
"In Italian quarters,". gays Mr.. Nc
Carthy, "there is a marked preference
for manual labor. Italians are clever
with their hands. In Jewish districts,
on the other hand, there is an evident
preference for commercial pursuits"
Mr. Grady, speaking for Superintend
ent Ettlnger, said:
"Dr. Ettinger considers the method
CT educating children should be left
20 public opinion. You can't go be-
yond the parents. They know what
methods bring the best results.
"Ths board is pledged to maintain
certain promises of the administration
At the same time, DR.. Ettinger looked
upon the Gary plan as useful peda-
gogical experiment. It was evident
that parents were opposed to the plan
1t was therefore modified, while some
o: the features were retained. 1t is the
aim of the present board to have the
superintendcnts plan their programme
with reference to the physical pos
sibilities of their schools and ind-
vidual districts"

Report Of President
OF Education Board

The following report was submitted
to Mayor Hylan by Arthur S. Somers,
president Of the Board of Education.
at its annual meeting, May II, 1918, in
which are stated certain facts in re-
gard to the elimination of the Gary
plan:
"When we organized, there were
thirty-five schools operating under the
Gary plan. with provision for extend
ing it into seventy-one other schools
and in ten additions. This extension
work was Immediately stopped and the
funds available for altering the build
ing will be used to improve those
buildings for regular school work with
out any reference whatsoever to the

tendents was requested to modify pro-
grammes in all schools operating un-
DER the Gary plan, and in a recent
report received from Superintendent

ACRES OF PRESENTS
FOR The SOLDIERS

Acres of Christmas presents are on
the docks in New York ready to go
abroad. and the first shipment has
started on the S. S. Manchuria, which
sailed on the ed of November from
Hoboken, loaded with $4,000 sacks of
Christmas packages. Each sack con-
tains about thirty-five of the packages,
or in all, 100000 packages. Another
vessel is there being loaded and will
sail shortly. Shiploads will be sent at
regular intervals.
In addition to the 100000 pack
ages which will be sent, the Red Cross
hass been authorized to send a block
number of extra packages, from so, 600
to $4,000, and these will be given to
men who have lost their coupons, or
in some way do not get a package.
This is an attempt to guarantee a
package for every soldier.
