The association heart ily endorses President Wilson concern ing both tho European and Mexican sit uations and gives him primary credit for the fact that this republic has re mained law-abiding, despite currents of fear, hate and excitement, and stands firm on the only basis on which civilisa tion can be restored or peace maintain ed the foundation of law. 2. Endorses the American schooj' peace league. 3. Deplores any attempt to militarize this country and declares against the establishment of compulsory military training in the schools. 4. Suggests co-ordination of the or ganized forces of the civilized wctrld to tho end that the promotion of in ternationalships in education, science, art, industry and social service may be worked out. 5.

"In any event the permanent value of the kindergarten lias little if any connection with the number of years required to go through the grades. The kindergarten's concern is with the con tent of the years rather than with their number; with the fulness of the life of tho child rather th,an with the mere economy of time. Power to think nn'd do, a tendency to assume right attitudes toward life, and ability to work and play happily with one's fel lows these are the results of training bnsed upon the belief of education by development." An investigation about to be under taken by the International Kindergar ten' Union in this field, Miss Winches ter points out, will involve making a study in several different cities of one set ot children wno eniereu Kinuergiii' ment. Some of this activity has crys tallized in the form of recommendations that will effect educational procedure over considerable areas. The adoption of some form of group system has been reported to the 1. 8. bureau of educa tion by 21 institutions, undoubtedly only a fraction of the whole nnumber of colleges that have taken this step." The idea that it is qunlity rather than quantity of work done by a college student that counts toward effective education, has already received tang ible recognition in a few institutions through the granting of extra credit for quality, says, says Dr. Capen. Sev erul prominent institutions have been reorganized and other new departments have been formed; nnd several others are experimenting with new types of vocational courses related to local in dustrial activities. .

THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL Reorganization of education under tho junior high school plan or some thing similar is definitely under way, according to Prof. T. H. Briggs, whose review of secondary education has just been issued by the U. S. bureau of edu cation. The junior high school lias been de fined "as an organization of grades 7 and 8 or 7 to 9 to provide means for individual differences, especially by Anna Trover Lessons given in water colors.

Her return trip includ ed a week r.t the Yosemiie national park, where she was joined by Miss JeFsie Cox. Miss Case had the honor of reading a paper before the national educational association, which met at1 Oakland, taking as her subject, "Ba sis of Selection of Momentary School Libraries." Over 1000 new books will be received within a few weeks for the school de partment of the Public library, to be distributed among the nine schools. Three junior school libraries will be es tablished this year, one ench at Wash ington Lincoln nnd Grant schools. Miss Onil Reid will act ns apprentice for the school librarian the coming year.

There are now 57 cities in the United States where junior high schools are orgunized in' unmistnkablo form. "One advantage claimed for" the jun ior high school," declines Dr. Briggs, "is that it groups children so that subjects seldom taught in the grammar grades may be introduced, thereby giv ing eacn pupil a more intelligent un-; cmng service uerstnnmng of the wo.k of the world, of the possibilities in the Bubjoct nnd in the pupil himself. ; ,f" "Hie junior high school also makes First Methodist Episcopal.

That the junior high school furnishes an opportunity for various needed re forms in instruction is tho final claim of the new movement, according to Dr. Briggs.
