ADMITS COLLEGES
ARE inefficient
PRESIDENT OF eRINNELL TELLS
TEACHERS FAULT IS DUE
TO LACK OF coMMUN-
ITY LIFE,

Denver, Col. July 1v.-"rhe college
mnck-raker has said, and has proved
his point that colleg~ education to-
day Is chiefly notable for its ineffec-
tiveness," said John HI. T. Main, presi-
dent of Iowa college, Grinnell, Ia,
In an address before the department
of higher education OF the National
Educational association, yesterday.
But like all epIgrammatic state
ments, this Is not the only thing that
can be said and proved about college
education. It may also be shown
that 1t is the most effective method
In existence for acqusInting men with
the world and making them efficient
agents In it.
THE college-bred man is, under
normal conditions, the superior man,
but he may be produced at too great
expense when we consider all the
time and labor and money spent upon
him. Efficiency has a definite rela-
tion to cost OF production.
Lack Of efficiency In college edu~
cation Is largely due to absence OF In
ner-community life In our colleges.
This is due TO diversity OF interests
cultivated by the elective system. the
large and rapidly growing number OF
courses offered, the absence OF q def
mite controlling purpose in the inatttu-
tons as a whole, the professional and
technical methods that too often
characterize the work. the absence
OF relationship between teacher and
pupil on a personal basis, and finally,
the absence OF a genuine desire for q
unified spirit and life"
The need OF domestic science and
the household are in the elementary
schools was one Of the absorbing top
les before the department of ele-
mentary education In the National
Educational association this morning
Mrs. Ellen III. Richards OF the Massa-
chusetts Institute OF Technology, Bos-
ton, was the principal speaker on this
subject. Miss Edna A. Rich Of Santa
Barbara, CAL, also spoke.
Z The department OF higher education,
which on Tuesday saw some heated
day student life, held o. second Bes-
sion and this time the subject OF how
TO develop the inner life Of the COLI
lege was debated by Sharles Fordyce,
dean Of the University If Nebraska.
This afternoon the election of off,
GERS was held y. x. Joyner OF North
Carolina was elected president.

HOW Big BLUFF
Won GOOD ORDER
PERSISTENT SALESMAN WHO
READ HIS PAPER UNTIL THE
BUYER TuMRLED LFF HIS HIGH
HoRsE-sEcuRED A STEADY
cUsToMER.

Sample Case: The salesman who
never gives up a prospect while there
is the slightest or most remote hope of
landing an order sometimes is re-
Warded when he least expects it.
As the western sales representative
OF an eastern company, ] was once sent
to call on a gruff old merchant whom
none OF our statesmen was able to land
Tor an order / found this merchant
TO be Nell-advanced crouch. He was
profusely profane and refused to lis
ten to my selling talk. / tried mild
ness and tact on three calls but could
make no impression upon him. I
hardly hoped to get an order out of
him and yet ! hated to give him up. i
felt there must be some way to win
him over, but 1 could not figure how.
decided, however, that the next time
called would stand my ground and
treat him in kind just as he did me. /
could do no more than lcse him any
way.
concluded would try him early IN
the morning when he was less apt to
be .irritated by happenings of the day.
When l called found him sitting by
the stove in the rear of his store. His
feet were cooked up and he was read
ing the morning paper. He didn't
look up from his paper as approach
ed so / appeared not to notice him.
/ pulled another chair up to the stove,
extracted my newspaper from my
pocket and without looking toward him
began reading the news
Out of the tail of my eye as I read
watched the merchants movements.
could tell that he was gIancing over
my way every minute or two-now and
then ne shuffled his paper as If trying
to attract my attention. But I didn't
give him a chance to say word to
me. kept my eyes on the paper Fin
ally the man became exasperated and
leaned over toward me.
What's the news?' he asked.
IT thought you had read all the news
yourself by this itime," replied coldly,
not giving way to him in the slightest
degree.
"Oh, l didn't see much of interest"
he answered. You seem to be pretty
independent these days What's the
matter, haven't you got time to say
hello to anybody"
When you are ready to talk busi-
ness, I'll put down my paper" said
He didn't say a word for a minute
and then he became as mild and in
terested as / could wish for. To my
surprise he apparently liked my at
titude Without preliminaries he said:
I've got a pretty good order / can
give you today. I'd like to talk busi-
ness with YOU
put down my paper without show
ing my astonishment, and booked him |
for one of the best orders of the |
month. He came down off his high |
horse and never failed to receive me
with cordial welcome after that.

quate knowledge OF the facts; PROVIDED
