A "C0LLEGE EXAM TRUST
Entrance Examinations TO Some Of
Our Higher Institutions to Be
Syndicated.

New York, Oct. 14.-Gratifying progress
is noted by the college examination en-
trance board in it's second annual report,
just issued by Secretary Thomas S. Fiske.
The board is composed of the heads Of
most OF the leading educational institu
tons Of the country. Its ultimate aim is
to hold examinations in every city Of the
United States and at the most important
points abroad which shall be accepted for
admission to all colleges and universities.
The formation of the college entrance ex-
| animation board represents the largest CO.
| operative undertaking that has yet char
acterized American educational develop
ment and suggests in some ways those
combinations that have marked recent
progress in the manufacturing and COM
| mercial world. The number of places in
which examinations were held this year
| is $50 against 50 last year. The number of
candidates increased from 973 to 1852, and
the number Of colleges to which admission
was sought by the candidates examined
! increased from % to IS.
The principal points in which the work
| or the board represents an advance with
respect to examinations that have hitherto
been held for admission to college are, ac-
cording to the report:
First-The principle of cooperate be-
tween colleges. This principle which is Of
the greatest value is substituted for the
distrust and rivalry which has so largely
prevailed in the past Colleges are agree
| ing to regard themselves as allies in the
struggle for ideals. No college can per-
| manently Increase its influence and
broaden its constituency by regarding it.
self as the enemy Of its fellows and neg
Letting its duty to education as whole.
Second--Stability in the subjects in
| which examinations are held. The defini-
| tons adopted by the board are not chosen
| arbitrarily, but are based upon recon-
mendations made after long consideration
by representative bodies Of scholars such
as the American Pathological Association,
the American Historical Society, the
American Mathematical Society and the
Modern Language association. These def
| nitions will not be altered every year or
two. If they are altered at all it will be
only by cooperative action.
q Third-Co- operation between the Sec
| ondary schools on the one hand and the
colleges on the other at point in. which
| each class of institutions IS vitality inter-
| ested.
Fourth-Uniformity of academic stand
| ards whereby the comparative educational
efficiency Of every college and institution
throughout the entire country may be
| measured.
F1fth-Economy of time, money and eff
fort in the administration of college ad-
mission requirements. Over 400 secondary
schools prepared candidates for the exam
nations held last June This list covers
| the whole country from Maine to Califor-
MIA, comprising institutions of superior
type. Two important municipalities are
stated to have already voted to make the
exam nations of the board the basis of
gradua ton from the public high schools
