DR.. Nelson agreed with the authority
who said that the secondhand BODY Of
Information communicated in books and
lectures is not only useless, but even
harmful.
"The secondary school long ago would
have changed it's methods" he said, 'if
It had not been entrusted with the spe-
cific task of preparing Its graduates
for the university. The demands Of
modern life would have made this neccs-
sary." he said lust as has been done
with the modern public library. The

the way of secondary school progress.
Further university standards have re-
suited also in the introduction Of nu:

"1nasmuch as practices designed
Chiefly for the purpose of getting knowl-
edge may be detrimental to education.
and inasmuch as sound educational ac-
tvities are invariably followed by the
acquisition of genuine knowledge, the
thing to do Is to organize the secondary
school activities so that knowledge Of
the right kind may result. n education
is a process and not an outward result.
the obvious thing Is to organize that
process. In secondary education and
even in primary education the first need
Is to devise a program of educational
occupations THROUGH which not only in
formation may be acquired. but the
as capacity for work. ability to plan.
power of observation. 1t Is not for the
secondary school to prepare, but for the
university to continue.
Free from the university bias the
secondary school can devote itself to the
education Of the majority Of the people,"
he said: Present methods which make
the ability of the pupil to retain facts

school. are by their very nature incom-
patihle with the idea of a democratic
education. Just as 1t Is in society, the
onfy price for successful permanence In
school should be work. work capable Of
being performed with pleasure by any

They made ten errors and mis-
played on almost everything that
came along. Thirteen Tigers
were left on bases during the
game. After Vancouver made
seven runs in the second inning,
the Beavers settled down to play
horse with their tired opponents,
and they enjoyed the fun to the
utmost.
