TO REORGANIZE
SWEDISH EDUCATION
All Public Schools to Be Made Co-Edu-
cationaE-State to Take Over
Whole System


STOCKHOLM, June l9-Sweden's
educational system today faces re-
organization, the purpose of which is to
place full educational advantages with
in close reach of every child in the land
irrespective of the child's social stand
ing in the community.
Under the new plan all of Swedens
public schools, from the elementary
educational. At present only the ele-
mentary schools and the universities re-
ceive both sexes. The Swedish school
commission purposes to open the
"realskola" and the gymnasium" to
girls as well as boys. An important
change win be the elimination of sew
eral subjects as compulsory and the
concentration of individual students
on a smaller group of subjects, logically
related to the occupation or profession
which most interests them. Students
will be permitted to start specializing
much earlier than at present.
II is now proposed that virtually the
whole educational work of the country,
with the exception of a few private
schools be taken over Nv the state
Tuition fees viii be practically elimin-
ated and students will not ne encum-
bered by the study of non-essential
subjects The estimated cost of the
new system viii be about 81 100000 q
year more than at present.
Tt is proposed also to establish a
school new to the Swedish system of
/ education, 10 be known as .lyceum
which in seven years viii take a pupil
directly from the elementary school to
matriculation for the universities.

Padgett of Tennessee, former chair

most effective arguments of the latter

THE senate finance committees
Il version of the revised tariff was
reported on Tuesday, bearing the
signatures Of all of the ten Republican
members except Senator La Toilette
of Wisconsin. In this measure, as
compared with the house bill, rates
of duty have been shifted and the
basis of ad valorem duties has been
changed from that of the American
value, as proposed by the house, back
to the present foreign valuation
basis. This makes the ad valorem
rates higher, but the specific duties in
many cases have beeh lowered. Agri-
cultural products and some classes of
manufactured goods are given in
creased rates. Senator McCumber,
chairman of the committee, says the
bill has been written on the basis OF
both protection and revenue, no rate
being so high as to cut off reasonable
foreign competition or so low that
American manufacturers cannot hold
their full share Of the American mar
ket. He gives assurance that there
will be final enactment of tariff leg
islation before congress adjourns.
