The V. P. I. Presidency.
Editor of The Tlmcs-Dispatch:

&.
Sir.-Numerous contributors to the
press have given their. views as to the
needed qualifications Of the new presi-
dent Of the Y. P. I. one point OF great
Importance. bearing upon the situation,
and only, limited at by others, seems to
me ought to be emphatlcally stated and
noted-viz., the connection between the
y. = and the public schools Of the
state The s y Il r L. as every other col
public schools. The grade Of work done
IN the schools is a large factor in deter
mining the curriculum of the college:
the efficiency of the schools can be
greatly increased-and this no ono can
terest in them by the college president
and faculty. Many perplexlng common
problems touching the student, / believe
could be more easily solved BY symph
part of the authorities OF the school and
the college. Tho needs and conditions
In school and college should be studied
alike by the teachers in both. Each
lus to the other. 1t has been wisely said.
Upon the efficiency of tho common
school depends not only tho enlighten-
meent Of the citizen but the culture Of the
college,"
The yo l. along With a is t,, h
public schools. 1t could thus be made q
power in advancing the interests Of
In the state at large. The now prcsi-
dent, 1t Is true, should, possess fine exc
cutlve ability, and be interested In
various phases of technical education
but this is no; all: he needs to be also
a man who can represent the Y. p. I.
at the great educational conferences.
giving to other educators the benefit Of
his experience and wisdom and receiving
from them help and counsel; one who
will ally himself With the work OF those
organizations which further the inter-
ests Of the public schools. and in tn;
bettcrment Of educational conditions all
over the State.
The question of correlating the inter-
ests Of the high schools and colleges Is
one Of absorbing interest among educa
tors to-day. The discussions In the re
cent conference for secondary cducation'
held by college presidents at tho Uni
Nersity of Virginia. focused about this
important point. surely the public schools
of the State have a right to clnm---and
do claim--,much of the time and thought
Of the college president.
