High Schools Are Attacked As “Disgrace”

Harvard Professor Calls Their Curriculums'Educational Junk/

Bv Times Special BOSTON, July 10.—" Educational junk.” Those words in the opinion of Prof. John M. Brewer of the Harvard Graduate School of Education correctly describe some of the things taught in high schools today. Speaking before a conference of Massachusetts School Attendance officers at the Statehouse here, Professor Brewer enlivened a rather quiet meeting with an address in which he said: “It’s a shame to send children to some of our schools.” "You ought to conduct an educational campaign.” he said. “It’s a disgrace teachers' don’t sell It to children and their families.” With unconcealed irony he told the attendance officers he was proud of having learned the names of all the bones in his body while in school and of having learned the location of nine cities in Chile. "And those high school girls,” he continued, “they never walk home, but seek rides in automobiles, careless of what the driver may be. “I can't keep up to the standards of this generation, however, so I am not sure whether such a practice is right or wrong, though I have a distinct feeling that it is wrong. "But I can be comforted about those high school girls since they have been taught in school that the square of two sides'of a right angle equals the square of the hypothenuie; that they know what is the capital of Timbuctoo, and that they are aware of the difference between the ablative case and the subjective mood.” Then citing other things taught in the schools the professor referred to “all the rest of the educational junk.” Professor Brewer emphasized the Importance of guiding the individual clyld In school, rather than teaching in the mass. The great majority of children who leave school leave because of lack of Interest, rather than on account of financial reasons. One reason for thiis fact, he raid, is that most teachers teach nonsense.
