Revival of Latin and Greek Study Urged by Dean West Extension of Secondary School Courses to Six Years Also Recommended in Report to American Classical League. All those wha believe in the old, “classical education,” with the stress Placed on the study of Latin, mathe- matics and English, as against the modern idea so-called “useful studies,” will interested in the report on clas: gation made vesterday to n Classical League at its meeting here. The plan advocated is not to make the study of Latin and Greek, urged as fundamental in mind training, necessarily compulsory with students in high schools and colleges, but at least to give students every oppor- tunity to study these subjects, now sometimes denicd them in the hustle and bustle of modern education As explained by Dean Andrew West of Princeton University, presi- dent of the American Classical League, who made the report, the primary intent is that Latin should be Jearned in order to be read and understood, and that the way should be cleared for “a fuller appreciation of the larger enduring intellectual and historical values which are de- rivable from Latin.” udy of Latin Favored. The intimate relation of English to Latin and of Latin to Greek, Dean West explained, offers valuable op- portunitics for teaching the three languages in much closer connection than is eficeted at present. “Latin stands between the other two and is intimate With both,® he dcclared. “The three naturaily belong to- Bether” Establishment of ter secondary edu ing the v ot ing from eight y in the report.

Latin Becoming More Popular. Latin pupils are crowding as never before into the school courses. The number of Latin studies is now a Little greater than the combined num- ber of puplls enrolled in any or all other forcign languages. The less €encouraging aspect of this enrollment is that the supply of Latin teaghers is very insufficient and that small provi sion is being made for training them. In our public schools. where fully nine-tenths of our secondary school pupils are found, Greek is ordinarily not provided at all. Even when pro- vided it is usually left to. take its forlorn chance in a scramble with easier studies of less intellectual power and of quick commercial use. In such circumstances the pupil not only is not encouraged to take Greek even when he is fit for it, but is prac- tically prevented from taking it by being allured to easier so-called “useful” studies. which are offered him as presumably “just as good™ ‘as Greek. . It is not asked that pupils in our schools besfompelled to study Greek. but that all who are fit for the study shall have the unhindered and really encouraging chance to take it. It is notorious that the “line of least resistance” Is now being followed by crowds of students who seek the sier way through school and col- lege. Forelgn System Praived. School Latin, the report held. must be restricted to four years unless it is to begin earlier. So far as is known there is a general though not com- among educational authorities that it would be much better to begin the study of Latin two sears earlier. There are some op- portunities now given to do so. It is to be desired that these opportun ties be made more generally acces sible. They already exist in our junior high schools, in_six-year clas- sical schools and elsewhere. Tt is the universal practice in the school sys- tems of other countries. Ours is,the only important nation the western civilized world which secondary education to begin =0 late and contents itself generally with only four years. This largel accounts for the fact, noted by thos who have studied the situation. that and girls at the end of their secondary schooling are practically two vears behind those of about me age finishing their second- chooling in other leading coun- in ary tries. The chance for establishing gener- ally a well planned six-yvear second- ary school education has a larger sig- nificance than the proper development of Latin or of any other individual study. It presents the one available opportunity for putting our whole ccondary academic_education on_ a satisfactory basi On an intelligent- Iy arranged six-vear plan all second- ary studies would have a far better chance for their proper development at the time when they should be de- veloped and with the time needed to them. By shortening the period of elementary schooling from eight years to six, thus subtracting the time now admittedly not used advantageously and not really needed, the opportunity also would be given to organize our elementary schools on clearly elementary lines, Longer Secondary catior By the establishment of a longer and better secondary education, t:e the sccondary school will be better edu- cated and the pupils who Ro on to colleges or other higher institutions will be better able to go ahead with their advanced studies. The colleges in turn will be relieved from the re- tarding and embarrassing task of teaching high sehool studies and the way thus be cleared for advances in college and university studies. The secondary school and not the university is now the strategic cen- ter from which to attack the whole problem of reconstructing American academic education. England, France and Italy already have found this to be true in their educational recon- struction following the world war. If the principle of sufficient conti- in separate leading studles is consistently followed, it will natural Iv_lead to adopting the correlative pimciple of coherence as regulative tor arranging studies when taken to- gether, whether concurrently or in sequence.

Many of the delegates from B the twenty chap- {ters of the or- ganization in fourteen states of the Union have attained prominence in the lcgal affairs of their local and state govern- ments From the University of Southern California, where the fraternity was founded in 1911. it has spread rapid- Iy during its early years under the capable leadership of Eleanor Mack and during the last two vears under the guidance of Mrs. Mabel W Willebrandt, as national pre and Anita Robbins, as secretary. now boasts among its active members the assistunt attorney general of the United States, an assistant attorney general of Alabama. several judges, two grandmothers who have attained prominence as attorneys, the young- est women bank president in the Unit- ed States, the only woman state sena- tor in the United States and the only woman state inheritance tax ap- praiser in the country. Notables to Atten Notable among the figures at the convention will be Mrs. Georgia I Bullock, one of the best known at- torneys’ in Los Angeles and vice president for California of the Na- tional Women Lawyers' Association Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, as- sistant _attorney general of the Unitell States; Mrs. Edwina A.

MRS. BULLOCK. Liberty Bell to Be Illumined. The ILjberty Bell, which is at the foot of the main stairway in Inde- pendence Hall, in Philadelphia, may soon be removed to a position out- side, but behind an iron grillwork, Where it will be open to inspection at all times. In the event the plan is carried out, the bell will be illumi- nated day and night. Oddly, this fa- mous relic of revolutionary days was cast in England before the American revolutionary plans were shaped, the date having been in 1752. It became famous when called upon to ring out liberty July 8, 1 Instructions Issued For N. E. A.

And this year's discussion, it is believed, will not be void of the customary verbal clashes. One of the outstanding features of the great meeting, which was not anticipated by the majority of visit- Ing teachers, will be the appearance before them at the closing session of the representative assembly Friday morning of President Coolldge. The President will deliver the principal address, and is expected to furnish an inspiring climax to the gathering. The topic of Mr.-Coolidge’s speech has not been revealed. First Session This The convention will formally open this afternoon at 4 o'clock with vesper services on the east front steps of the Capitol. The initial gen- eral session of the representative as- sembly is scheduld for tomorrow morning at 8:30 o'clock in Central High School, the convention head- quarters. All the important sessions of the conclave will be held in Central Higly School auditorium and stadium. The latter will be used for “open air meetings, a feature of the convention. While the general sessions are be- ing held. thirty or more organiza- tions allied with the association will be holding meetings simultaneously. ivery phase of education will be dis- cussed at these conferences. Despite the fact that the work mapped out for the teachers will utilize much of their time, either on the convention floor or at the group meetings, the program has been so arranged’ that respites will be of sufficient length to allow them to at- tend many social functions and visit points of interest. There will be no session of the general assembly to- niorrow afternoon, and the dele- gates are expected fo take advantage of this opportunity for sightseeing. More Than 700 Speeches. An idea of the magnitude of the conclave was given at the N. A headquarters last night, when it was announced that the program calls for more than 700 speeches by govern- ment officials, educators and others, Such prominent educators as Dr. Thomas E. Finegan, former state superintendent of public instruction of Pennsylvania; William B.

Bagley of Teachers' College of Columbia Univer- sity. and Guy M. Wilson. professor of education at Boston University, will take leading parts in the discussions, Preparations for entertaining and housing the visitors have been under way for months. Supt. Ballou, chair- man of the local convention committee, formed numerous committees of Wash ington teachers and educators to assist him in the task of making the visit of the teachers pleasant as well as profit- able. Afternoon. Plenty of Rooms Found. The problem of housing was worked out by a special committee. Hotels, rooming houses and private homes are being utilized.
