I.IKE IN EDUCATION.
. Educational ideas which have been
accepted for" scores ' of , years are
threatened. Anyone Who reads even
supu-lieially the accounts of meetings
of the National Educationul associa
tion in New York must see that old
standards of elementary, secondary
and college education are on the de
fensive. There hus arisen a band of
skeptics who are dissatisfied with old
methods and their results, and who
have been searching for new methods,
confident that the world will be made
better at a much faster rate by their
TEACHERS' INSURANCE.
: . There are over 30,000 professors
and instructors in the colleges and
universities of the United States. To
all of them, the latest bulletin of the
Carnegie Foundation, written by its
president. Dr. Henry S. Pritchett,
should be of considerable interest. It
lroposes "a comprehensive plan of in
surance and annuities for college
teachers."
Dr. Pritchett argues that the col
lege ought not to pay the entire pen
sion of a superannuate. He shows
how such a sum is not a gift, "some
thing for nothing," but is to be re
garded as so much money held back
from the teacher's salary. "In one
way or another the individual who
jnakes his career as a teacher is al
:. most sure in tho course of his life to
pay for hi pension, even though it U
provided by some other agency. The
only way in which he can 'be sure that
this will not happen is to live under a
'system in which the question of pen
sion and the question of pay are sep- j
urated." He cites tho experience
,-he British civil service commission,
whicfn found that 70,000 of 100,000
employes looked upon pensions as
merely deferred pay.
The plan suggested by Dr. Pritch
" ctt provides for both insurance and a
ittirement annuity. The former pro
' vides for the teacher's family, should
he die; the latter, for the teacher him
self, as well as his family, should he
- survive the age retirement. To this
nrrangament both the teacher and the j
college would contribute, half and
half; and the Carnegie Foundation
stands ready to administer the funds, '
paying all costs of such administra
tion. The Carnegie Foundation is already
r.aying n large amount in pensions, j
but it realizes th.it its ability in this
lino is limited. Tlierc are hundreds !
of institutions which it docs not
cover. The scheme set forth by Dr.
Eirmentary education is meeting its
hardest attack in the Gary plan.
Collegiate education has been severely
rappee! .by the Flexner scheme. Both
new ideas aim at more practical in
struction. "Academic" education,
"cultural" education, is to be thrown
aside, or at least made secondary to
the idea of usefulness. The old idea
was that geometry, Greek, calculus
"developed the mind." The new no
tion is that there are more useful stu
