Tho report laid stress on tho impor tance of health, citizenship and vocation and preparation for tho use of the leisure and tho ethical character of tho Indi vidual. It advised changes which would meet tho needs of all children under eighteen yeara of age, urging compul sory part-time education for those who leave school beforo they nro eighteen. It maintained that high schools nhou!d ! p'f ..n 'the and that tho wider. provide special Instruction for retarded elementary schools mora comprehensive high school should supplant the school of moro specialized tendencies. It would shorten tho term of all elementary schools to six cars and would divide a six-year high school term Into two periods corresponding to Junior and tcnlor high schools.
