QUALITY in COLLEGE WORK.
Has Outgrown Quantity, Declares d.
Samuel p. Capen.

college and university education has
outgrown the boom stage" declares DIR.
Samuel P. Capen, in the annual report
ol the United States commissioner OF
education. just issued.
"The day of the academic promoter
OF the imitation OF values is over con-
tinues DIR. Capen. Expansion is still
going on, but for the most part unac-
companied by the frenzied advertising
SO common in the past and encouraging
ly free from the optimistic confusion
OF prospects and realities. The develop
ments OF the year strengthen the con-
dition which has been ripening for some
time that higher education is now look
ing TO its foundation and setting its
house in order.
colleges and universities have come
under the sway of the slogan efficiency
Surveys undertaken by outsiders and by
officials of the institution to be exam
ined have become increasingly frequent.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1915-08-11

There has been vigorous activity on the
part of several voluntary associations
that concern themselves with standards
Cf entrance, graduation, and constitu-
tional equipment. Some of this actiyi-
ty has crystallized in the form of rec
concentrations that will effect education
al procedure over considerable areas.
The adoption of some form of group sys-
TEN has been reported to the United
States bureau of education by Il instr
buttons, undoubtedly only a fraction of
the whole number of colleges that have
taken this STEP"
The idea that it is quality rather than
quantity of work done by college stu
dent that counts toward effective edu-
cation, has already received tangible rec
ognition in a few institutions through
the granting OF extra credit for quality,
says DIR. Capen. Several prominent in
situations have been recognized and
other new departments have been
formed; and several Others are expert
mentipg with new types of vocational
courses related to local industrial activi-
ties.
DR.. Capen mentions Montana, Kansas,
and Idaho as "three more states where
the administration of state institutions
of higher education has been further-cen-
tralized through recent legislative ac-
ton
