TAKE SPECIAL
STUDY TO GET
INTO COLLEGE

The subject Of the acceptance Of the
Higa School certificate and diploma as
Ia qualification for entrance to the vari-
Gus colleges was discussed BY Professor
A. ii. Berlin at the assembly exercises
'of the Wilmington High School this
morning.
Professor Berlin referred to the rec
.ognition of the Wilmington High School
diploma and certiiie te by a number of
the leading colleges and universities. Ho
said that often the students could not
understand why they could not enter
college when the had a High School
diploma, not realizing that the diploma
showed only that they had filled the
school requirements and made the nee
essary points, while the certificate set
forth that tho requirements Tor the par
ticular college bad been complied with.
Particular emphasis Was laid on the inn
lportance OF the students fitting them
selves for the particular college they
wished to enter by previously ascertain
ing Just what were the requirements of
that particular college
Then. he said. they should do al in
their power 20 prepare for entrance into
that college. When the students leave
the High School their future work re-
fleets upon the standards OF the ilipl
lschool and professor Berlin aaid. it wa
essential that that standard be KEEP
imct.
! Reference was ma by the speaker q
the work of the High School Glee Club
which win begin in about two weeks. The
work was mentioned as being excellent
training, and the etudents were urged e
take advantage Of il.
In closing, Professor Berlin spoke
briefly upon the conduct OF the students
He urged stronger school sentiment
man seemed TO prevail among the stu.
dents at present, and said that in the
lquestion OF the breaking Of rules, mark.
ing the walls, etc. the students had
more influence than the teachers because
of closer mutual dealings.
It was particularly important that
the school sentiment relative to rightinl
the matters mentioned be made strong
he said. because while only few stud
ents may be directly concerned, yet the
blame rested on all. Because Of cast
of diptheria in the home Of one Of the
students having teen reported on Satur
lday, a number Of the class rooms were
lfumigated today.
Because of the date Of Washington
