SHORT BOYS AND GIRLS
GROW FOR LONGER TIME
So Explains Professor Baldwin In
His New Book.
That short boys and girls keep on
growing for a longer time than tall
boys and girls, but with less rapid
ity, and that school systems are re
miss in their standards of grading,
are some of the conclusions reached
by Dr. Bird T. Baldwin, professor
of psysiology and education in
Swarthmore College, in a book just
issued by the University of Chicago
Press.
The volume is the fifteenth year
book o fthe National Society for
the Study of Education, and Dr.
Baldwin’s article is entitled, “Phy
sical Growth and Physiological Age.”
He takes the position that the
schools should take ipto considera
tion the physiological ages of stud
ents and the accompanying mental
development rather than the chron
ological age and the brightness of
the child.
Prof. Daniel Starch of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, in an article
on “Standard Tests as Aids in the
Classification and Promotion of Pu
pils,” urges the institution of a de
partment of testing in every school
system.
“The two chief sources of waste
in education are (1) teaching things
that the bright pupils already know
and (2) teaching things that none
of the pupils need know.
“Economy in the latter will be
achieved by ascertaining what the
really essential and important things
in each subject are.”
