A o) i SCHODL SYSTEN'S NEEDS ARE CTED Ballou Thanks North Capitol Citizens for Help on McKinley High. Congratulating members of the North Capitol Citizens’ Association on the opening of the new McKinley Technical igh School in their community and thanking them for \neir help in secur- ing it, Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superin- tendent of schools, last night told the citizens that school officials are en- deavoring to provide an educational sys- tem for Washington comparable to the high standard of building this repre- sents. Speaking before the association, which was meeting for the first time | in the auditorium of the new high school, Dr. Ballou set forth what he conceived to be the paramount consid- erations in the reorganization of the Washington school system from the | model of 30 years ago up to date. Among the outstanding defects of the present organization, Dr. Ballou cited the tendency to pay too much attention to the pupils who go straight through the various units and the unnecessarily large number of failures caused by teachers setting too high a standard. Both of these defects can only be cor- rected by emphasizing the importance | of adapting the educational program to “the individual rather than attempt to make the individual adapt himself to any set program, the superintendent said, adding that the former system “is being run today in so far as we are able to do it.” System Being Organized. “The school system ought to be or- ganized,” said Dr. Ballou, “and is being organized in such a manner that every student can get the kind of training that is best .fitted to his individual needs, no matter what his educational career. “The problem of the schools is not one of eliminating the unfit, but of tak- ing thoss who enter and making them over into the kind of men and women of which they are capable. I shall not be satisfied until we have such a sys- tem. Dr. Ballou gave a few examples of the problem of making a system adapted 1o the needs of the ;;‘lde‘nti :mx;:ahl%, that psychological tests and | mw-ohmmpfl'lflnn with the home aided in its success. In closing he paid tribute to the personnel of the public school teachers and officials and the present members of the Board of Education. $400,000 Appropriation Urged. Prank C. Daniel, principal of Tech, opened the meeting with an address of welcome. Following an appeal by H.
