Book excerpt: Excerpt from Minimum Essentials in Elementary-School Subjects: Standards and Current Practices Preliminary reports defining in outline form the Scope of the problem and the possible lines of attack in its solution were made at the meetings of the Department in St. Louis in 1912 and in Philadelphia in 1913. At the meeting of the Department one year ago in Richmond, two typical reports on English and arithmetic were presented as illustrative of the type of studies which the committee had come to believe should be made in all subjects, in the interest of determining the proper content for the subjects of study in the elementary curriculum. The Department responded to the presentation of these reports and to the projected plan for treating all subjects in the elementary curriculum similarly most enthusiastically by recommending that an appropriation suficient to defray the expenses of such a piece of work be made, and guaran teeing the provision of the same in case the Executive Committee of the National Education Association found it impossible to appropriate the money from funds at its disposal. While the Department committee was made responsible by a resolu tion adopted at the meeting of the Department in St. Louis in 1912 for studying possible ways of economizing time both in the elementary and in secondary schools, our attention thus far has been mainly directed, and in this report is wholly directed, to the study of elementary-school problems, reserving until a later time the study of such problems in the secondary field as are vitally related.
