If, then, we are to determine by school time-allotments the valuations of the different subjects, prescribed and elective, which may enter into admission examinations, we must have some sort of standard programs for secondary schools. At present I know no programs which can answer that purpose, except the provisional programs of the Committee of Ten.
They found a great variety of practice as to both selection of subjects and time-allotments. You can hardly say that there is an accepted time-allotment in these secondary schools for any subject not even for the old traditional subjects. The time-allotments differ widely in different parts of the country, and even in different schools in the same part of the country.
I believe that the best criterion for determining the value of each subject is the time devoted to that subject in schools which have an intelligent program of studies. The Committee of Ten examined the number of subjects used in about two hundred of the best secondary schools in this country, and the time-allotments for the several subjects.
