Retards the High School.

'Undeniably the college has lost
discipline by the general adoption
of the system of electives, which
leaves so much to the caprice and
.unintelligent choice of the inexpe-
rienced student.
Perhaps the gravest charge which
may with justice be laid against the
college is that it has hindered or
retarded the best development of the
high school; or has perverted il from
the highest uses to the people Most
high schools still arrange their course
of study chiefly for the needs of the
3 or I per cent. of its pupils who
are preparing for college, to the det-
riment, or at least disbursement,
Of the SO per cent. who have neither
the desire nor the opportunity to con-
tinue their education. The fact that
only u per cent. of those who enter
the high school ever graduate is also
largely due to the influence of the
college"
The speaker said he believed that
the only hope for the regeneration
not only of the high school, but the
college also, lies in the complete
severance of this control; that the
leavening of the whole system of
higher education must begin from
below, instead of from above, as has
been the case hitherto; that the high
school should seek the highest and
widest field for development without
regard to the college, whose field Of
usefulness is still far too narrow to
permit it to denominate the whole
province of education.
He also believed that the disci-
pine of the high school has largely
suffered by it's aping the methods
of the college, and that this discip-
line must be regained at all cost:
first, by a return to the most es-
sential disciplinary and useful stud
! les which should be made compulsory
/ for all, and by the abandonment Of
many of the educational experiments
! introduced either at the behest or in
imitation of the college. and espe.
cially by the elevation of the stand
ard of the high school teacher, and
the employment of larger proper
ton of men as teachers, teachers
who are trained as teachers and not
as research men. He also said that
when this regeneration of the high
school has been effected secondary
education, so-called, Will not only
broaden out greatly, but that it will
reach upward to include all the dis
ciplinary and cultural work of the
college. IN other words, the demo
cratization of secondary education
will drive out the so-called College
of Liberal Arts, which occupied NJ
indispensable place in American edu
cation.
Whenever every pupil who leave:
the disciplinary high school is com
PEELED to choose some definite course
of study leading to some definite end
and not be permitted to spend foul
years more in aimless work, the prob
lem of the American college will have
been solved, and not until then,
said Prof. Williston in conclusion.

tree IN the suburbs of Honolulu he shed
his military uniform and donned suit
OF PLAIN but unobstrusive dungarees.
After dark he visited the waterfront

had noted the presence of the Buffalo
The hull of the navy ship was painted
white, the smokestaek yellow, and
whatever metal work there was shone
with the luster of much polishing. The
vessel on which he slowed away was
painted dark gray. Glass took it for
a freighter, on which, as far as he
could Judge in the uncertain light, there
was little brass work to keep stow
away busy. In his dungaree suit he
passed unehallenged to the freroom and
was soon sleeping serenely in an out
of the way corner.
He was aroused by the notes of a
bugle blowing reveille. He sat up with
a start. Gould it be possible that he
had not deserted after all and was still
