Lack of Politeness In Stu
dents a Handicap to
Educational Work
By WILLIAM HARRIS CUYER
President Findlay College

MY observation and experience
have led me to believe thai
haste and lack Of urbanity
are two of the sorest trials to which
colleges are subjected on the part
of those who enter the freshman
class. The "cramming process" is
still prevalent in the public schools
and in the high schools. THIS,
WITH TOO MUCH FREEDOM IN
ELECTIVES, HAS BROUGHT
TO THE DOORS OF THE COL
LEGES MANY WHO ARE GRIP
Piled IN THEIR EDUCATION-
AL WORK.
Many of those who have been try
ing ''to catch up" and F'to make
up" studies seem to grow accustom-
ed to the idea, and they remain
students on the run" throughout
their college course.
By lack of urbanity I mean that
fine spirit of politeness which ought
to be a handmaiden to an educa-
tional training. As a rule, those
who are slovenly in dress and man
ners are much the same in studies.
BELIEVE THAT THOROUGH
COURSES IN GYMNASTICS AND
TRAINING WOULD GO
FAR TOWARD REMEDYING THESE
WHICH | HAVE
POINTED OUT.
