Americas Early
Time-Piece Maker

The first American clockmaster was
Eli Terry. IF you had been upon a
dusty country road in Connecticut
about the year 1900 you might have
seen a plainly dressed young man
come riding with clock strapped to
each side of his saddle and third fas-
tened crosswise behind him" That
was the way Eli Terry sold his clocks,
and some of the original clocks are
still running in the very farmhouses
where they have licked off the min
utes of American history since the
days of Adams and Jefferson.

relate an anecdote concerning the

1t was at club in Philadelphia and a
certain gentleman whom the crowd
was trying to entice into spending the
evening there declared he could not
remain because he had promised his
wife he would come home.
"I'll fix it for you," said Lardner,
and darted into the phone booth Pres
emily he emerged, shouting:
Its all right, old chap, your wife
says you can stay"
"How in the world did you manage
to bring her round?" asked the amaz-

In his report to his home govern

that system of junior club work

colonies. He is returning home by
way of Washington, D. c. and New

either of these monoliths ought to be

to have planned both of them would

many of those who read the account
in last Saturdays Evening Post of
the career of Robert Mills could re-
member having heard his name? And
what stranger irony could there be
than that he owes his present fame
to the circumstance that he has been
nominated for a place in the Hail of
Fame at University Heights We
are interested in him not because he
lis famous, but because he ought to
be famous. One is tempted to sug

Architects have always been i'll

to build material monuments more en-

but to know who designed a famous
monument is pedantic. 1t isn't done.
Engravers are similarly neglected. So

n,,st mass ! snecial oral examination

in which the candidates move about,
bridge-party fashion, among the pro-
fessors and at every table are sub
pected to new crossfire of questions.
Even the weekly and monthly examin-
atoms are so arranged as to test inde-
pendent thinking and the power OF
correlation. Thus the ability to re-
member facts which characterlzes SO
many learned fools must be supple
mented by something else.
President Lowell now proposes to
establish capstone for this system
by requiring every senior to pass a
broad general examination which will
cover his entire field of study. No
"pony" and no tutor can prepare him
for such an examination. 1t recalls
that the word education is derived
from the Latin educere- Ito lead out
of. Teaching the student to express
himself helps him face the world and
serve mankind. Cramming him full of
facts makes him a prig or a fool; at
best, it wastes his time,
The old examining system is still
too firmly established in our elemen-
tary and secondary schools, which are
the finishing schools for nine-tenths of
our citizens Working as they do with
one-haif as many teachers as they
need, they have not dared depart very
far from the convenient system of
memory tests. 1t requires a little ta-

test the memory, but it takes intelli-

What Is Education?

When is an education not an edu-
cation This age-old question is
again to the fore at Harvard, where it
is proposed that each student, as a
condition Of receiving his college de-
gree, pass a broad general test show
ing his ability to adapt and CORE
late what he has learned.
The world is full of educated fools
and Harvard has produced its share.
The acknowledgment by our senior
home Of learning that colleges have
not yet found the true test of educa-
ton is hopeful sign. Harvard has,
to- be sure, been the first college to
admit the defects of former tests. The
institution of the elective system I'M
der President Eliot was the greatest
single step away from autocracy and
towards individualism in American
education. 1t gave each student an
opportunity to select those studies to-
wards which he was led by his talents
and inclinations. It applied in practice
that excellent educational maxim:
Most profit grows where is most
pleasure ta'en." The elective system
has been restricted under President
Lowell, but only in such a way as to
control the lazy-minded gentry who
elected an unrelated melange of "snap"
courses.
The elective system was only a first
step. Harvard's entire examination
system has been changed. Almost ev-
cry year something has been done to
emphasize liberal knowledge as
against mere book Learning. Students
in languages are now required to pass
oral as we'll as written tests. Candi-

Last Dreams
What They Mean
DID you DREAM OF LACK OF
CLOTHING?

M7HAT is called n of the stand
w ard" dreams. one which is most
annoying and one which everybody al
most. has experienced at least once in
his life. some people many times, is
the dream Of finding oneself in a
tl.ronged street or in q room filed
with people and suddenly realizing
that one is only partially clothed or
not clothed at all. In these dreams
the people with whom we find Ourself
do not appear TO take any notice OF
our unconventional condition, but the
dreamer is much disturbed and en-
deavors 10 escape. This dream has
received particular attention from
those scientists who for more than
half n century have been Investigating
the phenomena of dreams re-
garded as purely mental Cor more ac-
%curately psychic. or as physical mani
festations. The dream in question is
said to be the basis of Hans Chris
tian .Andersen's story, 1.-The Emper-
or's New Clothes and has been done
into poetry by the German author,
Fulda, in 1.-THE Talisman." 1t is
called by the scientists n standard"
or typical dream because it is one
which is experienced by all persons
In an identical or almost identical
manner; whereas most of our dreams
are peculiar TO ourselves.
The empires, those who interpret
dreams in the old. superstitious. tradi-
tional mystic and unscientific manner
declare the dream under considera-
ton to be q bad omen. though they do
not all agree just how bad. They
say it signifies that people are IN
spring against you; that you are soon
to receive an insult you will be dis
appointed in your friends and rela-
tives and ii is 4 warning TO you TO
mend your ways.
Those scientists who strive to ac-
count for dreams by referring them to
a physical source say that this dream
Is simply the result of sensations
caused by the bedclothes slipping off.
But thar does not hold for we fire.
