u. S. ACADEMY RAPED
WEST POINT TEACHING BAD,
SAYS DOCTOR ELIOT.
Declares No School or College Should
Have Completely Prescribed
Curriculum.

Boston, May 10.-The United States
Military academy was criticized by DR..
Charles w. Eliot, president emeritus
of Harvard, in a letter to Brig. Gen.
John w. RuclSman, e. S. A., command.
er of the north Atlantic coast artillery
district General Ruckman had writ
ten Doctor Eliot TO ascertain whether
certain comments on West Point
teaching, which he was reported to
have made in an address before the
Harvard Teachers association, were
correct
In the published report of his re-
marks, Doctor Eliot was quoted as
saying: 81 hope we shall never take
our example for public school admin
istration from West Point {.
This was shown by the inefliciency
and failure of its graduates in the
war"
Doctor Eliot replied to General
Ruckman that the quotation, while
not in his exact words was substan-
TALLY correct, He continued;
mo school or college should have a
completely prescribed curriculum, or
have its teaching done almost exclu-
sively by recent graduates of the same
school or college who are not teach
ers and who serve for short terms.
"West Point, so far as its teachers
are concerned" the letter continued
breeds in and in, very bad prac-
tice for any educational institutions"
