SPOKANE, April 9. Making
the school fit the child instead of

the problem ' that confronts edu
cators of today, Dr. Lewis Terman,
of Leland Stanford University,
told teachers of the Pacific north

"on.,; ' j'lhj.f.
"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.

PARIS, April 9. CBy the Asso

under the attacks of the opposition
for a week, .suddenly sprung a

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

measures relating- to increased
currency come up for discussion.

down 46 votes for the. 'flrs'rifnte

real battle when the finance! bill
itself is debated the end of this

Finances At Stake
How lone the government's new

on' the attitude of the senate to

M. Herriott will attempt a similar
operation there. 1
The premier charged the suc

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
