The central thought of the address was concerned with the fact that in our development as a people, and as a result of the severe competition into which we are coming with the whole world, the time has come when we must seek to build upon our present scheme of education such additions as will make it possible for every youth to supplement his more gen. eral education by definite preparation for his life work.

DELIVERS LAST ADDRESS
DR. ELMER E. BRoWN
Speaks on Importance of Educational Standardi-
 zatior.

The United States commissioner of education Elmer E. Brown, in his third and last lecture delivered to the students in the Yale summer school in Lampson hall yesterday afternoon, began by emphasizing the importance of a standardizing of the educational work of the country to give definiteness to the work itself as car ried on by different institutions and in different parts of the country, and incidentally to raise the standards in some instance; and, second, to place our scholastic and professional de- grees upon a basis that should make 1t impossible for their value to be questioned in any land
 A second point made was in empha- sis of the desirability of so ordering our educational work as people that it shall be forever impossible for any, thing like permanent stratification to take place in American social life.
