CHANGE IN SCHOOL
OUTLOOK STUDIED
Education Bureau Takes Up
Problem of Revising
Programs.

Going on the theory that the prob
lem of transition of the small school
into a comprehensive school with Ia
cilities for higher education should
be taken up as national matter,
the Bureau of Education has organ
lied a general committee on second
airy education to study the problems
OF the small school and. recommend
better facilities for such education.
The bureau will attempt to slit
through the acceptance of the point
of view that the secondary school
should serve all children of second
airy school age az TO 1S) for the es-
sential needs of life, whether they
arise because of the nature OF the
child as an individual or the nature
of the social order in which he must
live. This concept of the school"
the bureau declared today, imposes
upon 1t a rather large undertaking II
the present complex social order
alone is considered.
Differences Established.
Just about the time we decided to
educate all children in secondary
schools for all things. psychologists
were so unkind as TO establish the
fact of large and many individual
differences between children. The
result is that in addition to reaching
out to gather materials from the
world of present life, which is so
much more complex than the world
of the old high school, for presenta-
ton to children, all of whom were
supposed to react about alike, we
must reach out in the other direction,
not to groups, but to individual chill
dFen.
approximately 80 per cent of all
high schools in the United States are
located either in the open country or
in villages of less than $500 total
