PAGE TWO DECLARES SCHOOL SESSIONS TOO SHORT Says Elementary Studies Are Crowded Into Seven Years. * Other States Take Eight. j ? Columbia.?The South Carolina public schools are crowding- the same elementary studies into seven years which the. majority of State take eight years to complete, and in addition, run the schools from 9 o'clock in the morning until 2 in the afternoon, while the States in question ran heir daily sessions over seven hours, or two hours more of recitations daily, Lueco Gunter, State supervisor of rural schools, will say in his annual report to John E. Swearingen, State superintendent of education, to be transmitted to the General A 11 AsseniDiy. The South Carolina system, Mr. Gunter will state, requires a large amount of home study preparation, many times a "hone of contention," and the teacher must make the daily session one of classroom instruction, and little time is given the pupil for preparation. This system, he will contend, has in many casos caused the "parents frequently to claim that they do the teaching and that the teachers merely hear the pupils recite." <G miter's Report. Continuing, the report will say: Under our ppresent system there seems no escape from some home work. It ought not, however, in any case to be necessary for the parent at home to do the teaching. Unfortunately, in too many of our homes the parents arc not qualified to do this teaching. "The assignment of home work on the part of the teacher imposes three definite considerations for the teacher. The first is how much time ninrlq f.lir? niinil fr? --O"- ?" r 1'" ?? "r""" "" ?,v,,,v ' ' the preparation of his next day's lessons or exercises, In the second place, the teacher needs to estimate carefully the amount of time that any assigT'Ml exercise will require in its preparation. Finally, the teacher should ev-rrcise care that the pupil knows how to do the assigned work without unv outside assistance." The logical result of the South Carolina "> uiry-up" system, Mr. Gun ter will aver, is lack of mastery of the pupil's studies and his immaUuity when he reaches, high school and collego. This, lie contends, from an educational standpoint is a defect.

This difference is due , E i- first of aH to the fact that they are jg e normally a year older than our high | n school pupils. It is due in the second : y place to the fact that they have taken j - eight years to prepare for high school f work, while ouv pupils have taken e only seven. This same condition like y ly obtains in our colleges. In spite of j - the fact that our colleges, so many of I - them, claim strenuously fourteen ; I t standard units as requirements for j I n admission, the lack of maturity on , E r the part of our college students must ' I :i | inevitably lower the grade of our col- j f lege wor IV. S s "Some may claim that this condition ~ is our advantage; that we are send- ^ 1 ing our pupils through school a year or two earlier and that we are there- j fore giving them the advantage of an t earlier start in business asd profosi sional life. But we need to consider 0 1 that after all education is not a mere j J t memorizing of facts or an accumu- ! B t lation of information.. Education is i scntially a training process. In tak-jfl ing more time to do the teaching the j I i people of other sections of our coun- ! B J try are giving the pupils a larger 11 I amount of necessary training.
