MONEY PAID COLLEGES WASTED Report ncrnmmrnd tbnt SntiMillcs tie W'ltluIrnTrn nml Money V.etl In TenrhlnK Agriculture unit ' Vocntlonnl Simile, NEW YORK. Feb. H.-Tho first critical Investigation or alt the educational fa cilities of any stato In tlio union has Just been completed by the Carnegie- Founda tion for the Advancement of Teaching. The state selected was Vermont, and the work was undertaken at the request or a committee of the state legislature. ) Tvhlch desired (lo exnmlne and Improve Its entire educational system. A summary of the foundation's report was marlo public today. Ono of the rec ommendations Is the transfer to the pub lic schools of the money that the state now gives to colleges. The University of Vermont. Mlddtebury collcgo and Nor wich university, no one of which Is owned or controlled by tho state, have recently received Increasing state all, a total of $20,000 a year In 1905. $30,000 In 1911 and $100,000 In 1911 The report recom mends the withdrawal of theso subsidies because Vermont cannot afford a regular state university; becauso It Is unwise to glvo public money and public prestige to Private corporations; becauso the col leges have not used their subsidies wisely, and becauso they got along very well before they were given state aid and It Is evident that they will be cared ror through prlvato benevolence. The report says that the University or Vermont neglected agriculture atvl used lis appropriation for a medical school that can never be successful with the small amount of clinical material that Is available In Burlington. Norwich uni versity used Its appropriation for engi neering In a location and with an mutt. ment far Inferior to those of the Uni versity of Vermont. Mlddlebury collcgo also used Its appropriation for subjects already provided by the other Institutions and for a department for training of high school teachers, of which tho slate has already an oversupply. The effort to gain these subsidies from the legislature, moreover, according to the roport, in vplvcd the Institutions In an unfortunate educational and financial rivalry. Pnbllc School ZVrcil Monpy. The public schools, on the other hand, need monoy. They provide the entire education of more than nlne-tenths of the children In the state. Half of the teachers, however, havo had nb profes sional training and are paid only $3 a week or less. -The report recommends that the Blalo spend on tho common schools what It now gives tho colleges and as much more as it can afford, giv ing the teachers better training and bet ter salaries; providing them with moro aid and guidanco througH better super vla!onaand a moro helpful stute admin istration. It Is recommended that the down training classes for teachers, that wer established In tho high schools- In 1910 bo multiplied, so that every now teacher In tho state shall be a high school graduato with professional train ing. Theso classes graduated more-than 100 sUcli .teachers- Inst year, and soon .will be able to supply tho entire 400 that 'the stataftted annually- The twep'stute nbrnial. schools, , tho abandonment of whloh Is recommended, have provided less than n dozen 'such teachers each year. It Is further recommended that the teachers, together with a now state commissioner of education, sovcrol dep uty commissioners and a number of su pervisors, gradually work out a now pro gram of studlea for the schools which, without Interfering with ltn academic character, wilt relate It moro closely to the dolly life of the pupils. It Is rccom mended that the hlRh schools Include- vo cational courses: that there bo special 'agricultural schools, nnd that the work of tho Stato Agricultural college be made or greater valuo to the farmers. Further school consolidation, With transportation wherever necessary, Is also recommended both for elementary and high schools, so that every com munity may, be within reach of first rate schools Inste'ad of scattering Its money nnd care among a largo number that nre Inferior. Kilnrntlnnnl Commlimlnn Named. Referring further to the existing sys tern in Vermont, the report says It Is very good In many respects. The governor recommended such a tudy as has been made by tho foundation to the legislature, and tho legislature, In TCovember, 1912, constituted an educational commission with Judge John If. Watson of. tho supreme court as chairman, and representative cltltena like Thoodore N. Vail, president of the American Tele graph and Telephone company, and Frank H, Brooks, president of tho Fairbanks Keale company, and representative educa tors like Nicholas Murray Butler, presi dent of Columbia university, New York, as members. In February, 191$, this com mission asked the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching to un dertake the study. Under the direction of Its president, Henry 8. Prltchett. a dozen members of the staff of the founda tion and specialists from Columbia, Har vard and Wisconsin universities, and from the United States Bureau of Standards devoted six montlis to study In the field and an equal time to the examination and presentation of their records and sug-sestlons.
