College overhaul urged by U S education chief Cooper
United States Commissioner of Education William John Cooper, speaking at the National Education Association convention in Cleveland, called for sweeping changes to end freshmen and sophomore years in state universities. He proposed a two year junior college pathway replacing much of the present four year course, allowing bright students to advance to profession colleges sooner. The four year system might continue for those seeking classical training, and only the overlap between late high school and early college would be eliminated.
