"The tendency In j educational circles; is' to cater to the upper standards," Dr. Terman declared. "This cannot be satisfactorily ac complished. It is necessary ; to meet both emergencies, dealing with the low and the high-scored children with no partiality." : i j Investigations have revealed 40 to 50 children in each school grade that should be taking dif ferent subjects, he stated. : "Some should be advanced as much , as two years and others are not in a position to compete with the child of normal intelligence." ; A method of "elastic promo tion, I individual instruction and differential education were pro posed as a solution to this prob !em. - f ' I .: j'i. ' j Greater cooperation between parents .and teachers was urged by fiss Frances Hays, field secre tary of the national, congress of parents , and .teachers, who de clared that while 'parents' are Ig norant of what their children j are taught in the schools and the teachers are ignorant of the home life and conditions of the child, both are ignorant of . the educa tion the child gets on the street, on j the play field, at the movie theater and elsewhere." ( Incidental visits to the school on the part of parents will do lit tle in establishing the cooperation between them that Is needed to bridge this gap. Miss Hayir de clared. She urged for parents a real understanding of school prob lems and methods.

CBy the Asso ciated Press: The Herriot gov ernment;,! which has been . reeling under the attacks of the opposition for a week, .suddenly sprung a surprise off ensive.'agajnsj: its; op ponents when , the premier. In! the course of .a.'; three-hour speech in the chamber today, two-thirds ot which was tjevoted to'flayingj the government's, preceding his, put it squarely up to the chamber to assume ;the responsibility ot over throwing him before his financial measures relating- to increased currency come up for discussion. j Action Rcfusel , I No coalition was found desirous of( facing, the situation which currency and a forced loan could would have I been' created bv the departure of M. Herriot at this stage and became the sponsors for the ; inflation and capital levy themselves The Jeft groups, which have shown sjgns of disintegration, ral lied behind the premier and gave the cabinet a new lease on jlife. The vote was 291 to 242. I The ' government, although vic tor J lit - j this ! preliminary engage ment, saw its majority whittled down 46 votes for the. 'flrs'rifnte since it j assunied power failing to pass the 300 mak of adherents when there was a strict partyjline division! with a confidence clause attached. It will have to face a real battle when the finance! bill itself is debated the end of this week or the! beginning of jnext week in the chamber. Finances At Stake How lone the government's new leae of life' will be also depends on' the attitude of the senate to morrow when It is quite probable M. Herriott will attempt a similar operation there. 1 The premier charged the suc cessive governments since the ar mistice with! being responsible for the present precarious situation of the French treasury. ,. i ; "The guilty parties," he said, are those who since the end of the war, by floating both Internal and foreign loans at abnormal rates of interest have written enormous hills, which France must meet this year and In com ing years.
