We horrowed the elementary truth from Prussia. Our seconda #chools have developed largely schools preparing for hisher educs tion. TIn response to urgent needs we have thrown the junior high school in between the old elementary school and the old high school. There has been & tendency to develop each of these segments of the school system some- what independently of the others. There has been a tendency to emph: size each branch of study as a thing in itself, not as closely correlated as it should bhe with other subjects of udy and with every life” outside & school. “The science of education is usher- {08 tn a new day. At the meeting of he Department of Superintendence now opening in Washington, there is ful consideration of our adminis. tive units of education. The pur- pose and work of the elementary hool, consisting of grades one to , will be fully discussed by out ding leaders In education. Another up of leaders will discuss the ob- tives and organization of the junior h school, consisting of grades en, eight and nine. “Still anothet group will give care- ful consideration to the 6t senior high schools, grades 10, 11 and sess 8f this great meeting will discuss #everal important phases of educa- tion that relate to the whole range of the child’s life. “At this meeting there will be dis- tributed the fourth yearbook of the epartment of superintendence, which s entitled ‘The Nation at Work on the Public School Curriculum.’ This yearbook, prepared by a commission under the chairmanship of Supt. 1. C. Broome of Philadelphia, is typical of a nation-wide movement to rebuild the public school curriculum in terms of today’s needs. Literally hundreds of cities and thousands of teachers are at work on the problem. The new spirit which these studies are bringing into the public school will within a few vears affect the work of mearly all of America's 750,000 teachers. Tt means a better educa- tion for American boys and girls and 2 greater efficiency for the citizen- ship of tomorrow. Other WILL RUN FOR SENATE. RALEIGH, N. C.,, February 22 (#). »Robert R.

ASKS PEACE TEACHING CAMPAIGN IN SCHOOLS Maine Educator Urges Internation- alism Training for Instructors’ Guidance. Recommendation that the executive committee of the National Education Association appoint a commission to co-operate with other agencies “to the end that the teachers in secondary schools become acquainted with the various movements calculated to bring the world into peaceful relations,” and to present a report which may serve as a “means.of guidance” for these teachers, in order that subjects now of Deering High School, Portland, Me., in addressing the National Asso- ciation of Secondary School Princi- pals in Central High School this after- noon. “Internationalism does not imply a supergovernment,” said the speaker. “Nor does it imply pacifism in its invidious sense, nor the addition of another subject to an already crowded curriculum, but it does imply a larger conception of citizenship; it does imply the development of a more tolerant attitude produced'by a slightly dif- ferent presentation of subjects now being taught. ¢ Mr. Wing, who is president of the Association of Secondary School Prin. cipals and presided at the meeting, ‘was followed by Representative Beedy of-Maine, who spoke on “The World Courf i Committee reports were received from Milo H.

UNIFORM SALARY ISSUE DEBATED Single Wage Scale Extending Through School System Up- he!d and Opposed. f ary The on of a single public schools wus up two educators and opposed by a third in addresses this afternoon hefore group meeiing “D” of the de- endence, National the Washing- held by Eduction Association, at ton Hotel Alma the Krusen b ation, and \W. o1, superintend ent of schools of Minneapolis, Minn., declared the scheme put no heavy burdens on their cities and was en tirely satisfactory to the public as well as the teachers. Russell A Sharp of Kansas City, however, op- posed the schedule b ause, he said, it must ultimately reduce high school salaries: it will weaken the educa- tional system by eliminating all men and the best women from the class- room, and it is financially impractic- able in that school districts are not rich enough to pay a decent salary to teachers with two yvears' and at the same time offer quate increment to induce teachers to secure four years of training. Miss Krusen said the single salary schedule was adopted in Denver “be. cause our educational leaders have come to see that the successive steps in a child's educational career are equally important and that teachers of the various steps require equal, though not necessarily the same, train- ing and ability. Mr. Webster said the scheme in Minneapolis “is not at all complicated and had been so arranged that it put no heavy burden upon the city in any single year. The one thing most im- portant is that a salary schedule which takes cognizance of credits and degrees and neglects to note the qual- ity of the teaching is palpably unjust.” SCHOOL SUPERVISION DECLARED ON TRIAL Sshool supervision has not advanced far beyond the field of opinion and estimate and also is on trial before the American public two educators told group “A" meeting of the depart- ment of superintendence this after- noon, meeting in the ballroom of the New Willard Hotel. E. E. Oberholtzer, superintendent of schools, Houston, Tex., declared “One cannot measure sclentifically the su- pervisory efficiency of the supervisor of special subjects, principal, assistant superintendent or the superintend- ents.” Carroll R. Reed, superintendent of schools, Bridgeport, Conn., said the present uncertain status of super- vision *“is tolerated by board members, looked upon as unnecessary by most parents, welcomed by a few young teachers, feared and hated by some teachers, ridiculed or frankly opposed by many of our older teachers. “The majority of young teachers,” continued Mr. Reed, ‘‘are not averse to supervision; in fact, they welcome it provided it is the right kind. Teach- ers are extremely critical of the kind of supervision which they receive. They must feel that the supervisor has a greater knowledge of classroom methods and more still in demonstrat- ing them than they have or they are not ready to accept the supervisor.

Emphasizing that there is no avail able data to support the accepted fact that grades in college correlate with aptitude in teaching, F. B. Knight State University of lowa. lowa Cit Iowa, declared in an address before the National Society of College Teach ers of Education, Corcoran Hall this afternoon “in our thinking about teacher selection, it would be useful to sharply distinguish between apti tude In general and competence in specific subjects.” “In selecting teachers for high positions, what proof have we that superintendents should look at the grades of the candidates received in school or the sorority or church to which they may belong? Also. is an ‘A’ grade in one college equivalent to an ‘A’ grade in another college?" Mr. Knight recommended a test for selecting teachers. He said it is pos- sible to make five forms of a test for elementary teachers and to show that the scores upon it do correlate with teacher success. Walter Monroe, professor of edu- cation, University of Illinols, said if the increase in the number of courses In education is merely an index of the development of the fleld of educa tion “we will soon find 1t necessary to require a fifth year of professional training in order that a prospective teacher may have an opportunity to become acquainted with the basic phases of education.” 8. L. Pressey of Ohio State Univer- sity sald there is much talk about teaching students to think “but pain. fully little real- investigation of the problem.” James F. Hosic of Columbia Uni versity reported the situation with regard to the training of pricipals fo) elementary schools to be “decidedly encouraging.” Religious Census for Town.

One of the most important qualifica- tions of a school supervisor is that “he shall not spread himself out too thinly,” T. Jewell Simpson, assistant State superintendent of Maryland, declared in an address before the department of rural education of the National Educational Assoclation. at the duditorium of the Interior Depart- ment this afternoon. J. R. Grant, State supervisor rural schools, Little Rock, Ark., told the meeting the people do not realize the “big task that has been assigned to the rural teacher. Because teach- ers and patrons have failed to see the real importance and bignes of rural education, the rural teacher, as a rule, is too young, too inexperienced and too poorly trained to shoulder this great responsibility.” Mr. Simpson explained a State De- partment of Education can keep Its teachers and supervisors growing pre fessionally through these four activ: ities: by means of a summer school course In the theory and practice of supervision conducted in_ accordance with the ideals of the school system in which the supervisors are workin by means of visits of the State supe visors to the local supervisors: by means of State-wide conferences and reglonal conferences of supervisors and superintendents, and by publish- ing and distributing professional. bul- letins designed to give practical ald for the day's work."” Kary C.
