American Classical League
May Advise, IT Can't Force

The experiment OF the American Classi-

is found to be extremely interesting and val
liable. But 1t would be folly to prophesy that
the great American public Is going to be
persuaded by the results Of this expert
ment The gentlemen Of the league may
reach a conclusion and be in position to
advise, but whether they can persuade
school boards to introduce elementary clas-
steal training is another thing. very

the 2,400 students are pretty evenly divided
as to the classics. Last year the figures
were, think, 1000 classlcally prepared and
between 900 and 1000 who had no Greek
and Latin. The same proportion exists
in those who enter Yale. About half Of
them have had couple Of years OF Latin;
very few have had any Greek.
Investigation, rather extensively made
as regards undergraduate work has re.
suited in this finding which | am obliged to
give without prejudice. the classical men,
by and large, are the best students in the

Dean Jones Guarded in
Criticising Our Public Schools

AT this point Dean Jones touched very
lightly on what is a most thought provok-
ing theme. 1t was whether a college had
done all its duty when 1t had developed the
intellect of student. or ought II not TO
stress equally its work in developing his
character.
The writer may be wrong, but he gained
the idea from certain unconnected state
ments that Dean Jones considered that the
education OF the character Is much more
important than the education of the mind.
This thought correlated to the extreme
pleasure he had experienced when the ideals
and PHILOSOPHERS of classic great men had
first been revealed to him seemed to indi-
cate that by means of these authors almost
solely there could be a transformation
wrought in the soul of generation.
From this generalization 1t is not far
to go on and say that the principal func-
tion OF education should be to create those
habits which are to be the guides of every
day life. These are the habits that direct
our conduct and hold up our morality.
Those educators who have learned that
in order to create habits. and especially
the habit of being able to will, realize IL Is
the character that must be acted upon.
Such teachers must by this fact alone
stand loftier than those for whom educa-
tion is purely perfunctory system. ad-
dressed to the understanding and not the
soul.
The almost poetic way in which Dean
Jones praised the enlightened men-those
"fres" of spirit az he expressed it-who
had aided in forming him, would lead to
hot na usag dv Ia ri no
small but eminently fit band whose scholas-
tic work has been TO transform the soul Of
a generation.
Therefore, II was by no means non
Sequitur to ask the Dean If he did not
rank among the most necessary Of modern
reforms one which would comprehend the
entire transformation OF the educational
system
He admitted that Il needed reforming.
but added that 1t would be a difficult and
long task, in which every one must play
part-student, college professor, school
principal and parent. TO make the refor-
nation successfully the collaboration of the
scientist and the classicist would be re
quired. BY Yale's existing methods this
collaboration, he thinks is approacainl

senior year at Yale has been in some sea
sons of the past a weak year Too many
men spent it in dilettante way. They
scattered over too large a territory lit
tie of this, little of that.
THAT is not what the senior year is in
tended to be. Ideally, It offers a chance
the final chance-to clear up doubtful stud
les, to fix others; the men by that time
should have the aim to establish their intel
lectual growth precisely.
Naturally, that is what the elective sys.
tenn was intended to foster. But we find
that even for the seniors it Is not so good
as a group system. Let the student select
general subject; we will indicate how 1t
is to be pursued; we will tell what the
studies are to be- Thus Yale now stands
as the only authority as to the group, and
the elective system in vogue at Yale is the
group election.
