FRESHMEN ON STUDY

Simple Problems.

Which Is Effective for
Practical Purposes.
ORGANIZATION OF FACTS

President A. Ross Hill lectured for
half an hour to freshmen engineers,
October 10, on How to Study and the
Common Causes of Failure In This
Respect" Prof. H. Wade Hubbard
prepared the following abstract of the
lecture:
1t is impossible for man to get
ideas from another, as from a lecturer
or textbook; the words are merely
ity, you think your own ideas. This
is fundamental principle and suit
able start for this lecture on How to
Study" The subject Psychology
of Study is one conspicuously absent
in the offerings of American univer-
sites, but is given in the University
of Missouri by DR.. Hill as three
hours course. It's principles can be
made SO simple that it can be offered
for freshmen. In this single half-hour
lecture to engineering freshmen, six
points only can be considered.
Even the Esquimaux Must Study.
1. For successful study, there must
be purpose or motive. Where there
are problems there must be study.
Even the Esquimaux must study ami
mails and the ice of which he builds
his huts. In the many years of the
speakers work in his specially of ed
vocational psychology and as profess
sor and dean of the School OF, Educa
ton. he has studied the methods of
many teachers, finding their methods
open to Improvement in even so SIM
pie an item as the giving out of the
next lesson. A teacher may say: Fer
tomorrow take the next two pages in
the textbook" She might better
say: To-day we have faced and han
died certain problems. Tomorrow
you will have new problems to solve"
She has given suggestion of pur
pose. The student must have prob
lens to solve each day, if he would
be called studying"
Therefore the laboratory is gener-
ally better than classroom courses
as frequently conducted, for it lends
itself naturally to problems. Yet even
a laboratory course can be slid
through restfully without thinking out
problems History is frequently
taught in the wrong way absolutely.
Ii should not be taught as facts, but
for its problems.

Study Is Organized Facts.

2. Study should supplement lecture
or textbook by the ideas in the stu
dents own mind. The speaker could,
with a few simple lines, draw on the
blackboard a picture of a cadet en-
shoulder The chalk work would be
crude. your ideas would supply the
rest of the picture. Such is think
ing" the mulling of a thing over, (not
a mixing, not confusing. not disorder
liness). the assimilating of it with
your own ideas.
8. Study should be an organization
of facts. A science, as distinct from
ordinary knowledge, is organized
knowledge. In study, you should put
two and two together, you should weld
your experiments. your lectures and
your reading into harmonious
whole. In his undergraduate days IN
small college, the speaker and three
others met three evenings week, to
collect, discuss and organize their
previous work. He looks back to
those evenings as perhaps the most
valuable part of his college work. 1t
| is a weakness of American students
| that they appear unwilling to get to
gether and discuss. In his graduate
student days at Cornell, the speaker
became acquainted with Scotchman
| who never seemed to study much, but
he was forever wanting to get up dis.
| cussions with his fellow students. He
| was much incensed at their unwilling
ness. Even the professor thought
that the Scotchman was not studying
as other students were studying, and
expressed his disappointment with
him. Towards the close of the Sc
mester. however, the professor eX
pressed himself as being highly graft
fed at his fine grasp of the subject
The Cornell Scotchman was in the
attitude of the mature thinker.

Census Showings.

DIR. Nicholas Murray Butler, presi-
dent of Cornell University, analysing
the census figures recently given out
at Washington, sees grave crisis ap-
preaching for this country.
''These figures" he says, "tak US
out of the class of Germany, Great
Britain and France and put us in the
class of Russia, India and China,
nations which we have always looked
down upon, but whose problems now
are ours.
eve must face the problem now of
nation with huge population, which
is overcrowding the land available for
tillage. The day has gone by when an
American can waste every day what
would support a whole family in France.
To stop this is called conservation of
natural resources, but that is only a
part of it. The chief thing is to stop
extravaganza and waste and begin to
live with more intensive application.
A man can no longer waste one farm
and then go to another state and live
on another farm. We must stop living
on our capital and with other adult
people, live on our income.
''The pressure on our tillable land
will force US eventually to look to
foreign nations for the things we can
not supply ourselves.
'Do you realize that Iowa has gone
back in the last ten years; that Ohio
has stood still, and that Illinois, in
spite of Chicago's aid, has only gained
ID per cent? The notion that we can
live on our capital has got to stop.
We have to remember that we have to
live on our income. The country must
somehow restore the cost of living to a
normal plane; it must restore the
national happiness and the stability OF
our government"
