Elimination of Graded School System Is Urged Stetson Would Reorganize Classes Into Only Three Divisions. Elimination of grade distinctions in school grades, on through the ninth, is advocated by Paul C.

Stetson, school superintendent. His views on a suggested reorganization of classification of school pupils appears in the May issue of American School Board "One step in such a reorganization would be to eliminate all grade distinctions in grades one through nine and to recast these years into three divisions, the primary, the intermediate and the junior high Stetson says. Entrance into the primary group would depend on the maturity. Reorganize Subject Matter Entrance into the intermediate group would occur at any time'during the school year whenever, in the combined judgments of the teachers, the pupil had matured sufficiently. The same procedure would be followed when admission to the junior high school was indicated.

Subject matter would be so organized to meet the needs of the individual pupil. Absence of formal class recitations would make possible the fitting of subjects to the needs of the pupil. Students of education long have realized that methods of teaching and promotion now in use are faulty. Psychologists have called attention to the wide differences among children of the same age. Present System Faulty Stetson believes that a thorough overhauling of the present educational machinery is indicated as the only permanent solution.

Objections which Stetson points out would be raised would center chiefly about the difficulty of combating tradition on the part of administrators, teachers and parents. It might be hard to find teachers who could adjust themselves to the new methods. Finally, materials of instruction would have to be recast in terms of pupil progress rather than in terms of grade progress. I. G.
