PREPARATORY SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES
Schoolmasters Association
Starts Season's Discussion
of "Schools of To-morrow1 '
SCHOOLS of the next thirty years
will bo vnatly different from thoso
of to-day, especially as they retato
to the. education of children between 4
and 9 and of souths between 12 and 20.
-This was the conclusion at the first
meeting of the year of the Schoolmasters
Association of Mew York and Vicinity,
liold on Friday evening, October 25, at
alio Columbia University Club. Under
,the leadership of Trof. Knedden' of
Tcuohers College And Dr. Slojson. editor
of the Independent, some fifty of the
leaders of secondary education in this
community went perhaps the most In
teresting evening In several years of the
programmes or injs organization. ine
whole' series of monthly dinners this
year will be devoted to various aspects
of tho general subject of "Schools of
To-morrow." It Is probable that with
this topic the ensuing evenings will have
a marked effect upon American educa
tion. Dr. Eugene C. Alder, principal of the
Adolphl Academy In Brooklyn, Is the
new president of the Schoolmasters. In
'his Inaugural address he emphasized
that the problems of to-day have their
bearing chiefly on those of to-morrow.
It Is for. this reason, he (inserted, that
the executive corAmtttee of the organlza
Ion had determined that the only jus
tification of the gatherings of this year
would be an Interchange of Ideas upon
the, most pressing difficulties of educa
tion to-day.
Dr. Slosson, taking history as his
starting point, declared that even to-day
tho usual study of this subject always has
h gap In what la actually the most Im
portant period, viz., that of the last
twenty years. He pointed out that a long
while ago writers of geography had
learned that tho way to Interest pupils
In this vast subject Is to start not with
the conception of the world as a whole
but with the schoolhouse Itself, then the
town, the county, the State, the country
and the continent. Historians, however,
seem to lose sight of the fact that the
contemporary movements are. those most
.familiar and most Interesting as well as
most In need of Btudy, and that they
should be the starting point. Probably
after this war the chronological method
will not be so firmly entrenched, par
ticularly In view of tho fact that through
out our colleges now the S. A. T. C. Is
oxperfenclng the live point of view
toward history through a compulsory
course upon the Issues of tho war.
Dr. Sloason also predicted that there
will be a vastly broader study of science
than at present and that this also will
(itart from common phenomena. The
general sclenco course now usually
given In tho first year of high school
Is an Indication of this tendency. So
'far have the English neglected science
that lack of pclentiflc Information In
high places probably prolonged the war
a year or more. This fact Is clear
from tho failure for several years to
prohibit the Germans from securing fat.
Tt was apparently not realized that
from this conies the glycerine essential
In explosives. Even after tho stopping
of animal fats as such thoy permitted
soap fat to enter.
The study of our social ustructure. Dr.
Sloswon feels susavwlll aho become far
"more pertinent. xy failure to under
stand the -arlous elements which go to
make up our melting pot we have lost
great opportunities. As a matter of
fact most of the nationalistic move
ments now developing In Europe have
been fostered chiefly with American
money, and had we been at pains as a
nation to understand them we could
have the advantage of their enthusias
tic friendship. Finland Is a case In
1 point, where wo have lost hold with
lioth the Ilds and Whites through our
neglect of the Finns In this country.
We are not alone, In this Ignorance.
Trance herself knew so little of the
tendencies In the Ukraine that she pro
vided money to the Ukrainians Just be
fore they went over to Germany.
In the teaching of modern languages
there will also be a vast difference In
method and In content The mth Is
ontemporary languages are simply not
understood here except by the rare few
who nro highly trained. Tho proof of
this lies In the fact that when the
American Army first wont to Franco
It' -was almost Impossible to find fifty
telephone girls who could be Immedi
ately useful. Right now the work of
the censorship office Is being hampered
by the lock of those who understand
Portuguese. Tho Intelligence Depart
ment of the army Is experiencing the
greatest difficulty In finding a group of
men of unquestionable loyalty who thor
oughly understand German.
The spoken language will undoubtedly
be the goal of all modern language
teaching from this point. Already some
tKliooTs are beginning to teach French
throughout, probably SO per cent moro
1"rench than any other modern lan
guage. Emphasis, however, will also
bo laid upon German, Italian, Spanish
and R"sslnn. The German will soon
rrwne u Its own because If through
yielding absolutely to the terms of the
Allies the German people are given a
fhanco for Intercourse with the -world
wo shall want to know their language.
If, on the other hnnd, they continue our
unernles we shall need to know It. It
ia significant that the Unlvorslty of
Edinburgh bas within the year estab
lished a chair In German.
A distinguished Russtan recently ar
rived In this country begged that at
once there ihould be despatched to bis
people fifty experts who could Interpret
to the Russians what In this country
democracy actually means. Tills Is an
order which It has been found Impossi
ble to fill because of our complete Igno
innce not only of the Russian people
tlierwclveB but of their language.
It Is certain, furthermore, that tho
study of modern langunges hereafter
will assume for qualified students tho
only form which Is practicable for tho
mnstery of tho language, viz.: the op
portunity to study In the country Itself.
The happy custom of exchange pro
fessorships. Instituted before tho wnr.
Is even now being broadened and
strengthened through exchango of schol
arships. Education In all Its phases, Dr. Slos
son concluded, would almost nt once
.tart from tho modern point of view.
The boys nnd girls will start from tho
things which thoy see about them and
which they read about and hear about,
nnd work back to the history and the
causes.
Prof. Rnedden remarked. In open
ing, that In making our social und eco
nomic readjustments, duo to tho war,
v.e must be forewarned by Russia nnd
England especially that there nre ahead
troublous times. If wo enn prevent our
rehes, for tho next ten years, from Hy
ing at one mother's thoats, If every
one can become more tolerant nnd for
bearing, we r,hall probably bo able to
stave off serloim conflicts and to go
nhoad Industrlilly, This Is the big back
ground of the Impending changes In edu
ction. Tho American people have what might
be called a growing faith In educntlon.
They ure critical, of course, but they
have a fundamental belief that herein
lies the safety of tho country. The crit
ics, nevertheless, nre expressing vague
dissatisfaction. Thoy do not know Just
where to put their lingers, but several,
points are clear. In the first place,
there Is a common agreement that teach
ers must have' better flnaricl.il and social
rewnrds, and therefore they are be
coming the more wtltlngto devote money
to education. They are realizing also
that tho young peoplo must iRlva more
time, lioth of these tendencies will
prove nn Invaluable assst. ,
There Is also the fact that In our
family llfo wo are developing a bolter
background. Eugenlcally and culturally
the conditions nre Improving. This social
economy will mean a fairer start for tho
child, and at the age of compulsory at
tendance which has been sa gradually
lengthened will undoubtedly be In
creased to seventeen or eighteen years.
This does not mean that the last years
In school will be full time there, but
It does Imply that contluatlon work will
be Insisted upon. Wisconsin and Penn
sylvania already have laws whereby
youth are not permitted to sever their
contact with school before eighteen.
Tho consequences of this new outlook
toward education will make themselves
felt differently In tho several period
ot Instruction.
From four to nine there Is likely to
coins far more solicitation about, the
health and the play development of chil
dren, than about the meeting of speclnl
educatlonnl requirements. It will come
to be realized that between these years
what Is most, required where children
ire In normal circumstances Is plain,
wholesome growth. Tho American kin
dergarten ought to be and will un
doubtedly become merely n compensa
tory Institution to make up for home de
fects. In tho primary grndes there will
he less emphasis uptin formal writing
and arithmetic.
From nine to twelve our alms will
probably not materially change. The
American people seem pretty well satis
fied with the work of these grades, and
rightly so. The European schools have
little to offer by wsfy of suggestion Just
here. It is after this period that we
begin to fall short, a fact recognized
n the institution of tho Junior high
school.
From twelve to eighteen there will
be great changes, possibly revolutionary
changes, and they will be different both
in the junior and In the senior high
schools. At twelve the pupils are chil
dren: at seventeen to eighteen they are
mostly self-supporting young men and
women.
We must recognize that most of our
conditional education In these years is
non-functlonlng. Some time every per
son will be required to train himself
for some line of work. This will be Just
as realistic, just as definite and direct
as our military training In time of war.
At present our schools are not equipped
for any such purpose. The slight vo
catlonallzlng wo have done Is almost lip
service. Our big problem lsvery speed
IXv to go to work upon genuine voca
tional purposes.
In preparing for particular fields there
Is of course aliyost Infinite flexibility
and variety. Just bow sehooLi of rail
roading will be worked out, for exam
ple, we are not yet ready to say. Cer
tain It Is, however, that we must soon
determine upon tho elements common to
mbrt vocations, and that we must for
mulate these In such a way that each
child will have acquired before entering
upon special fields a certain body of
minimum essentials.
There Is no question of the Increasing
emphaols upon modern languages. Not
only must wo lei)rn better those wblch
nre now given, but we must learn far
more. It Iff .not that all the pupils must
have this diversity of training, but
rather that wo shall work to make ex
perts In a number of new fields. We
must, for example, understand the Japa
nese and the Chinese. We must have
those who can be our spokesmen with
these nations. Japan has tens' of thou
sands of her citizens here learning to
understand us, and yet we havo not one
In ten thousand there. Travelllrg schol
arships must be broadly provided, so
thnt modern languages may be mas
tered through the only po.flble means,
that Is, living In the country Itself.
From tho point of view of discipline
we must not suppose that the present
admirable Mnlversal military training
will solve all our problems. We must
remember the nation morally at war
brings Itself Into cooperation. In a way
which In peace times Is not likely to
be approached. Every young man In
this nation has thrown himself when
physically fit Into this conflict and has
dose It gladly. Unless, however, these
youths were to see what the end Is
we could not expect this enthusiasm.
There Is the clue to thet new education
seeing the end. For years wo havo
been attempting to toach mathematics
without having tho boys and girls un
derstand the end. In a democracy with
an atmosphere of free thought you
can't expect to hold the boys and the
girls to tho unreal. The whole effort
must be to develop self-discipline.
That after all, Is what happens In
business. Boys and girls In schools
who have been utterly Irresponsible go
Into a largo business organization and
presently find themselves working In
real earnest at the things which In
school they could find no Interest In.
Wo must find something In our schools
to correspond with this life of self
dlsolpllne, The Boy Scout movement
Is healthy, but this does not seem to
hold youth beyond sixteen. We need
something between sixteen and twenty.
Somo of the "Moral Substitutes for
War" about which Prof. James wrote.
Hard, ftrm dlsclpllno beAwoen six
teen and twenty will bo welcome pro
vided the boys and girls can understand
tho end
Intellectual discipline will smack llttlo
of the nnclent or of the antique, and yet
vocational dlsctptlno will not do all
that wo sxpect The humanities are
fundamental. A man's citizenship Is
of the world and ho must be ready
to do his part Therefore there will
always bo reserved for general educa
tion tho earlier years of youth.
In preparation for this broader citi
zenship there will bo developed for
our ochools a new typo of social sclenco
service. It will abandon tho chrono
logical order but It will convey funda
mental facts of tho relations of citizens
and ot nations one to another.
For those whose richness of social
Inheritance Is greater than tho average
there will bo greater effort to develop
what to-day we call hobbles. Wo shall
gradually enrno to ronllze, however,
that In nil tho arts and sciences there
must be mountain peaks, those who
stnnd above tho rest of us and enrich
us with their skill.
There seems to be a pretty goneral
notion that tho universal military train
ing of tho present will gain a firm
foothold In our educational system.
Unless there should bo the calamity of
an Inconclusive peace this Is very much
to bo doubted, for It in the experience
of tho .best trained nations that the
military scheme Is not of reat' value
before eighteen or nineteen years.
Something must be done to develop
greater physical, strength between twelvo
and eighteen. .We; are prone to assume
now that play Is the only, means of bod,
lly development'lK' this Period. The fact
Is outstanding;: however, that' workjng
boys and' farmers' boys develop tholr
great strength' through .hord'physlcal la
bor, we have got to come-back to mat.
Somehow every' youth should approxi
mate two hours a day of good, substantial
physical work.
It Is significant that In' the recon.
tructlon hospitals apparatus ha practl?
tally been abandoned. It Is found thnt
work Itself, aetual vocational pursuit Is
the only thing which restores functons.
In tho discussion which followed Dean
Hawkes of. Columbia College expressed
himself as of the opinion that the great
t'st task of education Is spiritual. He
believes that the teachers ot the future
should realize more fully that It Is their
responsibility to understand the tremen
dous epochs In the awakening of boys
nnd girls and to seize upon thoso epochs
to Inspire self-discipline.
Clement Wood of the Barnard School,
himself a poet called to the attention of
the debaters two recent books of far
reaching educational significance, "Salt,"
by Capt. Charles G. Norrls, and "Joan
and Peter," by H, O. Wells. These sug
gest goals" In the new education.
T. C. Mltchlll, principal of the Jamaica
High School: Frederick Paine of the
Eastern District High School, and Mr,
Paul of the Do Witt Clinton also offered
observations.
Mr. Van. DIs of the United War Fund
explained to the headmasters the new
organization of Victory Boys, pledged to
earn and give $5 or more to the United
War Fund, The members promised
hearty cooperation In this movement.
The deaths of Arthur H. Cutler, a char
ter member of the association. ind of
Orvllle D. Wheeler, were recorded nnd
the committees wero appointed to1 draw
up suitable resolutions.
Music was a very delightful feature of
the entertainment. William Oncken ren
dered In a superb barytone a number of
old Italian songs. He was accompanied
by Iiwrence Adler. Prof. JafTrey C.
Harris led the group singing. All three
of these artists are of the staff ot the
Rlverdalo Country. School.
The next meeting -will be held on the
third Friday of-November, the 15th, at
ho Columbia University Club, 4 West
Forty-third street. Now York.

PEDDIE INSTITUTE.
A fine health record has prevailed at
vcddle Institute, Illghtstown, N. J., dur.
ing the epidemic of Sapnlsh Influenza, so
that the school feels exceptionally fortu
nate and proud ot the fact that, It has
not entertained one single case of the
disease so prevalent elsewhere. This
record Is due In a great measure to
the extremely precautionary methods
idopted to keep the students out of
doors as much as possible. Saturday
venlngs from 8 o'clock to 9 o'clock
hav been given over to hiking under
military direction. Tho sleeping quar
lorn of each boy have been thrown
open more than usual and an abund
ance of good, wholesome fresh air il
lowed to clrculato freely. " Military drill.
football, hiking at'-nlght and numerous
other precautionary measures have
'erved to keep the school Immune from
the dreaded epidemic.
On Saturday of Nov. 2 tho Peddle

COLLEGE OF ST. ELIZABETH.
The studonts'of both college and acad.
cmy of the College of St Elizabeth, at
Convent Station, N. J., launched the
United War Work drive with a masked
basketball game In the large gymnasium
of tho college on Wednesday last. All
players wore small masks, and In the
second quarter of the game unmasked
for the benefit of opponents. A prize
was offered before tho first quarter
finished to the one who guessed most of
the players names. Miss Mary Frances
Hauck, 19C and Miss Ruth Boulger,
20C. had the greatest number of names
correct and drew for the prize the win
ner being Miss Boulger. A most cnthu
slasttc audience witnessed the game, and
the admission fees netted a splendid sum
for tho war fund.
The second event as a speeding up
for tho drive proper was the presenta
tion of a Latin play, "Saccus Malorun.."
by the studen, of the 'Vrd ve- " 'eh
school class. The play, entirely In Latin
was given In t.ie audltunuiii. im- u

collegiate chaplain, the- Rev. Lalor Mc
Laughlin, and the raising of a huge
American flag on the campus In the
afternoon. This flag Is the generous
gift of the Rev. James F. Kelly, rector

LAFAYETTE COLLEGE,
Eastom, Pa., Nov. 9. A series of
threo Interesting lectures to be given at
Lafayette College In the course of the
next two weeks has been arranged by the
committee on public lectures. On Mon
day evening. November 11, Dr. Edgar J.
Banks will give his lecture on "Down
the River Tigris." On Thursday eve
ning, the Hth, Prof. William S. Meers
of the faculty of Princeton University
will speak on "Current Events." mid on
Monday evening, the 15th, Hamilton
Holt, the editor of the n(fcprdeiit, ill
speak on a subject to be announced
later.
After several conferences between the
faculty and tho managing board of the
Lnlavette, tho weekly publication of the
college, It has been decided to suspend
publication Indefinitely. Rut two of the
editorial staff remain In college, and no
one that has been connected with the
business end of the paper. These facts,
together with the time consumed by the
academic and military schedules nnd the
short tenure of the men at college under
the present system, made such a decision
appear advisable.
During the past week In answer to a,
military order forty members of the La
fayette a. A T. C. wero sent to tho of
ficers' training school at Camp Zachary
Taylor, Louisville, Ky. Among these
forty wero the manager and eight mem
bers of the football squad, seven mem
bers of the varsity track and field squad
and several of the best students at the
college. The men were selected on a
competitive basis by Capt Farker, the
commandant at Camp Lafayette.
