EDUCATOR ' CRITICISES HIGH
SCHOOL COURSE.
Tenth of Students Who Study Dead
Language Actually Need It,
Teachers Are Told.
LOS ANGELES, Dec 21. That tho
high school system of the East was a
failure in a large degree while that In
the Western States was more success
ful, more progressive and achieved
more with the French system of edu
cation, was the assertion of Professor
Ernest Carroll Moore, head of the de
partment of education at Tale, who
spoke today1efore the Los Angeles
Teachers" Institute.
Professor Moore declared the high
schools of the country were about as
unsatisfactory as they could be. and
the worst feature, he said, was that no
one seemed to care. The majority of
subjects taugrht in the high schoolB.
he asserted, were so poorly taught that
in many cases the scholars would de
rive far more benefit by being out In
the open air at play.
Professor Moore spoke especially
against the "foolish plan of teaching
600 000 high school students of the
country Latin when perhaps only 100,
000 of these would enter college, and
only half of that number would actual
ly need the language. This time might
be better spent in teaching things that
would be of some practical use to the
students when they leave the high
school to battle with the world, as a
great majority of them do."
