MINIMUM ESSENTIALS IN EDUCATION
By Jesse w. ArmStead

vestigation the proper number of pupils per
classroom.
A. To establish in the various schools rep
resented by this organization greater uni
formity of subject matter, grading and sys-
tenn of promotion within such limits as uni
formity is obviously legitimate and profitable,
but to provide free and unhampered oppor- 4
tunity for non-uniformity in all matters in
which uniformity is not necessary, not leg1ti-
mate and not desirable
5. To serve as an adjusting body to curb
the prevalent tendency to develop unduly
particular departments subjects of the
school system to the injury of other subjects
or departments, and to submit all important
issues, now too frequently left to the biased
Judgment of specialists to the balanced de-
cison of an administrative body which shall
take into the field of vision the complete
area of education.
g. To strip the decks of our school system
in preparation for the battle of the new ed
ucation which must come after the war. To
this end need to begin now to clear away
all superfuOus impediments, all useless car
goes of subject material all around-about
methods, for in the new world school educa-
ton must be a forerunner, not laggard, in
civilizations forces.
7. To put into action such other measures,
in harmony with the above, which from time
to time may be adopted by this association.
s. To cooperate and unite with other or
CARNATIONS with similar purposes, through
out the state or nation, and vigorously pur-
sue action through all official, Legislative,
civic and sOciaI avenues.
In discussing the development advanced by
the California organization in its relation to
the whole movement for minimum essentials
in education, DR., Frank F. Bunker, city
school specialist in the bureau of education
at Washington, says:
elm no branch of educational work has
imitation operated more powerfully to per-
petuate the influence of the past than in that
having to do with the content and method of
! instruction. To mention but single example,
psychology has exterminated root and
branch. the dogma of formal discipline, yet
whole subjects are retained in our school cur
ricula which originally were accorded a
place solely because of the belief that thereby
the mind could be trained to thipk, to OBJ
serve, to remember The purifying flame
which is sweeping the dross from the world
will not stop short of our schools curricula
textbooks, and indeed, the entire machin-
cry of instruction. These will be scrutinized
as never before and challenged to show why
they should be given place in the new order
of things which will emerge"
