'Does Modern College Education
Educate, in the Broadcast and Most
Liberal Sense of the Term" is one
of the most important inquiries that
could be set on foot. This discus
sion, which is to be taken part in by
President Gilman CT the Johns Hop
kins, President d wight of Yale,
President Schurman of Cornell,
President Morton of the Stevens Ia
stitute, Henry Thurston Peck of
Columbia, Bishop Potter and Others
of the most distinguished men of
both the United States and Europe,
is begun in the April Cosmopolitan
by radical inquiry into the educa-
tional problem along the lines of
Herbsrt Spencer. President Gilman
will follow in direction almost
equally searching. Altogether there
is promised the frankest possible ex-
preston of opinion, and it seems
probable that it will be the mcst
thorough comparison ever mad. of
educational methods with The needs
of everyday life at the close Of the
nineteenth century.

They have met and balloted Oh
teachers three times and have can
