sinia has been the sin of America
In the past no one might say what
degree of scholarship an a. Il. degree
represented until he had examined tho
catalogue of the specific institution

educational confusion has come the
American spirit of order and honesty.
II began to be recognized that the
A B. degree should represent at lcast
n fixed amount of work, II not n de-
nnitely specified task The man or
woman OF the baccnlaureate grade must
have obtained standard of sixty
hours of college work actually accom-
with adequate provision OF equipment
and practice.
1t was promptly discovered that
this exit requirement for four years
OF college work was necessarily con
ditioned upon rigid entrance re-
quirement in the shape of high school
units. 1t was perhaps more difficult
to bring order out of the welter and
chaos of the high school systems of
the various States than to accomplish
any other part OF the new educational
program. Much has been donet and
we'll done, in the enlightened attAmpt
TO classify and regulate tho work Of
the high schools. There still remains,
however. a vague and nebulous terri
tory in the high school work, SO that

the haif-p peck is quite ae honorable

Queerly enough, in education our

These are the halfway houses in the

perior to that OF the nlgh scnooI. as
tho content OF tho half peck has been
superior to that Of the quart, but in
relation to the full four years work
OF the fun colleges OF to-day, their
curricula have contained Just about
half Of the hours OF college work re-

The time has now come when q de-

college is to be found in the possibility
OF an attempt on the part Of the high
schools TO use this as means of on
croaching upon the work OF the col
leges. There is little doubt that many
a high school or academy or seminary
may feel inclined TO claim the higher
classification OF the Junior college. by
adding two years OF work to it's pres
ent courHe There could be no objeo-
ton to this plan If there were really
need for such activities on tho part
OF the preBent high schools, but as tho
public school system has been definitely
arranged In the four forms of graded
schools, high schools. colleges. and uni
versities, and as the linking of these
institutions has been definitely fixed.
1t would seem desirable to keep the
plan that has been worked out by them
and for them with so much care and
Labor and to give the classification OF
tions already recognized as doing some
degree OF college work.
The objection Will be made that the
high schools and academies should
have tho right TO claim tho rank OF
junior college II Junior college work Is
done. and 1t Will be added that ia
voritism VIII be shown unless such
right is given.
The simple answer TO any such argu-
ment is that the Legislature or Vir-
ginia hae chartered certain Institutions
as colleges, and hence / hold that no
institution should be eligible to hold
rank as Junior college unless 1t full
fls the two requirements. first. of Of
fering a junior college course, as de-

and the female. or to use the modern
term. of the masculine or tho feminine
intellect. The fact remains however,
that as a result OF our Virginia civil
izntion. we have felt that something
more was to be demanded OF our girls
than of our boys In the way OF artistic
training. Hence II ~ that right or
wrong, our schools for girls have alb
breviated the academic college work to
about two-year course, thus giving
opportunity for specific cultural train

In other institutions, they woro q regu-
lar pnrt of the training of girls in the
virginia colleges. Hence II is that the
junior college has existed for many
years throughout America In answer
to the demand for n shortened academic
course of college grade. Far from
thinking this thing TO demand

that have given the best possible rea-
son for their existence IN their con-
tinucd successful operation without en-
dowment. without expense to the State,
and without appeal TO tho religious

schools is thus clear gain to the
state. No taxpayer is called upon to
contribute to their support. No budget

do is a clear gain to tho State. and
