Importance Of it as q factor havo
been brought about by a clearer re-

Emphasis Upon Citizenship.
The placing Of the emphasis upon
citizenship and the efficiency OF the
individual seems to point conclusively
to a larger freedom on the part Of the
high schools and their management
to meet the specific needs Of the
young people who come to their
doors. .
The recognition of the mechanic
arts, household science and agricul-
ture together with the attempt to re-
fleet the major industries of the COM
munity have brought the vocational
idea in conflict with the traditional
one of culture. ..

social significance. The combination
Of the two makes possible a closer

What IS Required OF A
LAD ENTERING COLLEGE

ton Of high school course, a student
may find that he cannot meet the re
quirements of the college or univer
sity he desires to enter, not because
the high school he attended does not
provide adequate instruction and ia
cilities but solely because he did not
select his studies with a view to meet
ing the college entrance reQuiremnts
of that particular institution.
Another complication is that caused
by the fact that the requirements OF
different colleges east and west are
not the same and so it may be an
impossibility for the average high
school to meet the demands Of all OF
them.
A Broad Point Of View.
For several years a marked change
has taken place in the attitude of col.
leges and universities toward the mat.
ter of entrance requirements. The
examination Of catalogues, articles
and discussions shows clearly the
swinging Of opinion from the former
college view to the high school way
of regarding the question. 1t is now
generally conceded that the relation.

for entrance requirements.
Places A hi9h Ideal.
III. however, there can be aroused
IN the secondary period Of the stu.
dents education a larger appreciation
OF his relation*to society, some under.
standing Of the forces of nature, and
! some fundamental principles instilled
relative to citizenship, with at least
some g)immer ~ what it means to
study, the colleges and universities
have all that can ue expected or hop
ed for.
The writer believes that if the idea
that so many points be required for
graduation and certain credits must
be received could be changed for one
which will emphasize the thorough
ness OF preparation and ability to
think, the whole educational scheme
now existing in America would be
materially improved.
Secondary School Problem.
The secondary school, therefore,
should be given a large opportunity
to work out its place In the scheme
Of education and to determine for it.
self. more than it has been able to
do thus far, just what scope and me-
thods Of vocational training should
be introduced in its course.
Internationally, uniformity in the
schools is desirable so far as it means
uniformity in subjects, time, amount
and speed of instruction but if it
means uniformity Of instruction by
the requiring Of individuals the same
subjects without regard to their ac-
tual needs, it is under all circunstan-
ces to be avoided.
The 5paer concludes with the state.
ment These university are a part of
the school system, and the adjust
ment which takes place will be from
the bottom upwards rather than from
the top ~downwards, but in >lis adjust

which the universities may have, as
