Almost Beyond chefHow

+, Excerpts from address recently de-
livered at Johns Hopkins by DIR. Henry
c. Adams)
The controlling policy of modern
education seems TO be TO provide prac-
teal instruction for useful trades.
The extent TO which professional
teaching has encroached upon academic
instruction is almost beyond belief
Our law schools have appropriated one
year OF the four formerly devoted to
academic instruction, and control the
election of two years besides Our
medical schools, even those which pro-
Tess to rest on academic attainmen,s,
exert such an overwhelming influence
that the greater part of the student life
of a youth who aspires TO the medical
profession is dominated by trade ideas
The engineering department.. without
apology. crowns four years OF trade in
struction with university degree.
And last. but not least significant,
comes commercial education, whose de-
mands no university can disregard. and
which, IL the current trend forecasts u

libhment of schools of commerce man

Ching this universal recognition OF

cssary for the realization of social efh-
cheney and national power: but even
conccding this t" he true, we are still
at liberty to inquire what role is to be
assigned academic instruction in this
fundamental Encouragement of uni
rersity ideals.
NO COMMON STANDARD
FOR MEASURING VALUES
1t has been said that all education is
professional in character. This is un-
probability, the most important truth
that can be expressed by one who as
sumes responsibility for constructive
educational work. There is at present
no common standard for measuring the
relative values OF the various kinds.
