Sixty of the lightweight superan-
nuates of the pension bureau who
asked for retention in the service

ice Commission by Selden G. Hopkins

terday afternoon that the Interior De-
partment wanted to have it's list of

SAYS TENTH SHOULD GO
FOR EDUCATION IN U. S.
DR.. Arthur E. Morgan Makes Plea
for Advancement Along
Progressive Lines.

Adequate education in the United
States should cost about 10 per cent
of the earning capacity of the ma
ton. Dr. Arthur f. Morgan, president
of the Association for the Advance
ment of Progressive Education, de-
clared in an address before the Dis
trict branch of the association, today
at American Red Cross headquar-
tiers.
Dr. Morgan said that adequate edu-
cation along the lines foste~ed by
the association would cost a great
deal more than the present educa-
tional system. but that it would
yield returns far in advance of the
expenditure. Glasses in progressive
education work should not exceed
twenty pupils, he said. in order that
a full knowledge of the subject
taught could be impaired to each
pupil.
DIR. Morgan told the conference
that the average expenditure for
teachers salaries should be about
one and one-half times the cost of
the school plant. but that in some
schools the expenditure for teaching
personnel had fallen far below this
figure. The fundamental aim of edu-
cation was discussed by DR.. Morgan
with the members of the District
branch this afternoon.
