One Of the most pronounced char
sacteristics OF American schoolboys Is
their unqualified objection to college
entrance examinations. They will re-
sort sometimes to amazing devices
An order TO avoid the perils of admis-
sion tests. They look with loving ap-
!. pr0val upon those colleges which adj
NIT by certificate; and they have an
unreasonable dread of those colleges
which admit only by examination.
The boy may wish with all his heart
to 90, to one, of the few eastern insti-
tutions which have the more rigid
admission requirements, but, in spite
OF this, he often elects one of the
state or other institutions where en-.
trance tests are unnecessary. DC.
fcasionally, IL his desire to become q
Yale or Harvard or Princeton man IL
! unusually keen. he will enter some
college by certificate, and, at the end
of his freshman year, ask to be
,transterred to the college of his real
choice. BY. this action he loses an
entire year, but he thinks he is re-
paid IL he is able to avoid the awe
iinsniring examinations.
That college students are willing
to- 80 this length is an evidence Of
their attitude toward tests which
1 should be by no means unreasonably
difficult for any one who has had q
secondary school instruction. Every
/ graduate of a high school ought to
be In position to pass college en-.
trance examination, but it is very
doubtful whether a large percentage
Eof them could do SO. The require.
lments for admission to any American
college, even those that are supposed
! to be the most exacting. are by nc
means extravagant.
The Examination Terror.
There must be something WRONG
with the methods of instruction OF
courses Of study In the secondary
schools that admission examination
should cause panic among school
boys: 1t is true that the records OF
the College Entrance Examination
Board show every year an increase
in the number of candidates. but II
is doubtful whether the percentage
of increase is at all commensurate
with the percentage Of increase in the
total number Of students who go an.
nually to college. Aas
1 There are number Of reasons
which explain the growing objection
to examinations. In the first place
the colleges have done great deal to
discredit their own admission tests
Some of the papers which they have
offered candidates have been absurd
They were made up by men who had
very little knowledge of what an aver.
age schoolboy should know. Some.
times they have the appearance Of
Having been prepared hastily and
very thoughtlessly. Their eccentric.
Eities have been seized upon and EN-.
ployed as arguments against examin-
ations Of all kinds; many charges
have been rung upon the extrava.
gances ot;some OF the papers. Still
trthe vagaries Of few inexperienced
college instructors should not be al.
: d.
The Sunday telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1914-1927, 1915-09-05
lowed to cause the abandonment D

the entire system.
There have been furthermore, es-
pecially in the newspapers, grave dis
cussions Of the physical dangers to
youths of being subjected to alleged
nerve racking tests. The young
student, therefore, finds that he has
a great deal Of backing from his ell
ders.
It is almost dangerous for man
to rise at the present time in the
Difference Of examinations. He runs
the risk of being told that he is old
fashioned and behind the times; that
American education has advanced too
far to make such methods necessary,
and that the value and virtues OF ex-
aminations are inconsiderable; that
teacher should teach for something
higher than the mere passing Of ex-
aminations. When one analyses such
advice. however, he frequently finds
that the pupils of the adviser are not
only unable to meet reasonable tests,
but also that the much praised larger
ideals Of general culture. general In
formation, general development and
other generalities, are rarely realized.
| The fact is that a wider use of
examinations. although they may
have obvious disadvantages and some
times may work hardships on intelli-
gent students, would do more to put
vitality and seriousness into our ed
ucational system than many OF the
reforms that have been suggested. in
recent years. Their wholesale aban-
donment by most Of the colleges has
had an enervating effect upon all sec
ondary education. and is characters.
tic of the unhealthy sentimentalism
that pervades much of the contem-
porary educational discussion.
General Examinations and Efficiency.
What would happen II all the grad
yates Of all the high schools in the
United States were required to pass
examinations which should be set
by some entirely unbiased board OF
examiners. who have no connection
with the school in question-such a
committee, for example, as the Col.
lege Entrance Examination Board?
There would be at once revolution
but revolution might be a very
good thing to have.
School boards and school trustees
would revolt at allowing the work OF
their schools to be judged by outsid.
ers. Some teachers would revolt be.

ties (although many would welcome
the opportunity to show their ability
Finally, the public itself might re
volt at the idea of increased difficul
ties which the children would have
to meet before they could graduate
from their schools. Yet the insur

perceived that the new system would
result in the toning up Of the worl

In the schools is ineffective. They
would demonstrate probably that the
