Nursery Methods in Universities.

The new university can cut itself loose
from the time worn English college curric-
ulum and its much patched American
equivalent, with its system of favored
studies and false incentives. 1t can give to
each line of work the time and freedom it

relative value of studies to be settled by
the student for himself The new school
can treat its students as men, and not as
children. The nursery should cease where
the university begins, and the university
student should not do his work in the
child's fear of 1.-The rod behind the mirror"
The new school can rest its impulse for
