...taken Dr. Bayne and his Committee on Articulation & Integration four years to prepare. It embraced, he admitted, "radical changes'" de-signed to fit education to the individual pupil. Under Dr. Bayne's idyllic system, every pupil, smart or dull, would progress steadily through six years of grammar school, three of junior high, three of senior high. With him from grade to grade would go a complete case history. If his interests were unacademic, he would take cultural or practical courses. He would be stimulated rather than forced to work, would practically never fail of promotion...
...faults in the American educational system is the hard and fast division between the various stages in a man's training.

The pressure of the "old grad" has kept the four-year college course sacrosanct. But educators see a natural break between sophomore and junior years. Up to that...
...school graduates, who want more schooling but not four classical years of it, could round out a broad and cultural education. Were President Hutchins dictator of all U. S. education he would combine senior high school and junior college on a 6-4-4-2 pattern (six years of grammar school, four of junior high, four of senior-high-plus-junior-college, with an extra two years or more of university work for serious students only). Many educators differ on the specific pattern but agree on the aims...
