NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Msgr
Fulton j. Sheen of Catholic Uni
versity recommended today that
the length of grammar and high
school training given American
youths be reduced from IL years
to eight.
Addressing the fourteenth annual
meeting of the Eastern Association
of College Deans and Advisors OF
Men, Msgr. Sheen asserted that
grammar school courses should be
cut to six years from eight and
added, There isn't anyone who
couldn't get a high school educa-
ton, as it is presently taught, in
two years"
He also advised curtailment Of
school vacations because "our stu
dents are now spending four years
of the best l6 years out of school,"
He said discipline was needed in
the Nations schools and observed,
"A pat on the back will help build
character if it is given often enough,
hard enough and low enough"
Msgr. Sheen cited cases of some
high school students who had COM
pleted the full four-year course in
six months when permitted to study
their own way.
The Rev. Joseph A. Koonz, stu
dent counselor at Fordhan1 Uni
versity School of Business and q
priest of the Albany Diocese, was
elected president of the association.

the convention of the Middle States
