of tbe educattonal profession, as
well as some teachers claim that
the courses of study have been too
widely extended, covering too
many Bubjeots, so that nnder the
present system it is impossible for
the most conscientious teacher to
Sire the drill necessary to make
students well grounded in the fun
damental branches.
Investigation will be unbiased.
We will hold open our minds, en
deavoring to be guided by the
facts we may be able to uncover.
"Careful investigation will be
made by the committee as to the
wisdom, of the present policy, -per
mitting high, 1 school students to
cftoose a large part of their stud-
iea. The elective system now pre
vailing is frowned upoi; by many."
Asked If .the committee, would
recommend tree text books. Sena
tor Eddy replied:
"This question will probably not
be in the scope of the committee.
We will probably confine ourselves
to judging the quality of the text
books now in use."
As for uniform text books
throughout the state. Senator
Eddy said the committee will
probably allow latitude for local
conditions, although they may em
phasize uniformity.
