STANDARDIZED SCHOOLS ASKED Charles Steinmetz Gives His j Ideas on Education?Our Methods Crude, He Thinks National supervision of America's school system is advocated by Dr. Charles I*. Steinmetz, celebrated | consultant engineer of the General Electric Company. Such centralization, he believes, would raise educational standards far beyond what they are today and make possible a thorough education for every child. Principle! Crude "In basic principles," said he, "it is my opinion that American educa? tional institutions ate operating along the right lines. lint they are crude in their methods. This is per? haps because they are new only a Kin-ration or possibly two genera? tions old.'.' Dr. Seiumetz is well qualified to | criticize scbools. His parents en? dowed him with an extensive edlicn I tion. His education in German | schools ami colleges was, us a mailer; of factj bis only asset w hen he af- j rived in New York as an immigrant in 1880, Hen- is Schnecndy, a city of near? ly 100,000, he has several timcs^crv- ; ed on the school board. His nut-1 ?r?l keen interest in educational af? fair.- has been given a personal trend by the school experiences of his two grandchildren. The doctor has never married, but he has an adopted son. The son grew up, married, ami it is with the son's family that Dr. Steinmetz makes his home. National Control "American schools should all be ,' placed under national control," con? tinued the doctor, as he leaned across the desk in his library, "even though they he paid for locally. Then schools in one state would be on a par with those in another. Gradua? tion from any high school would per? mit ii student to college without re? gard to credits or the ncessity for en trance examinations. "Consider the subject of history as an example. A pupil selects Ameri? can history because that gives him one credit. He chooses ancient his? tory because that gives him another credit. As a result he learns nothing of history between the fall of Rome ami the landing of the Pilgrims. Vet he ami bis parents and teachers are satisfied because he has acquired two credits. Everybody seems to forget that education, rather than credits, is the real reason for going to | school." Play Element" The -widely heralded "play ele-j merit" in education is not wholly ap? proved by Dr. Steinmetz. Although favoring anything that will develop and hold the interest of pupils, he says: "When we first get the public sehool products at the General Elec? tric Works, we often find that it takes two or three years for them to acquire concentration und indus trousness?if they acquire it at nil. Children educated to do everything by play would have a hard time adapting themselves to hard work. " The important thing to keep sight of is thai schools primarily are run In supply education ami not to en? able students to get credits. Cen? tralization under federal control would make American schools what they should he -the best in the I world." CHRISTIAN CHURCH Hildo Sehool Sunday morning at i:l'..
