Ripping Rhymes
PILLS
BY Walt Mason

I take pink pills to cure my Ills, my
govt and flu and letter; I swallow ten,
and now and then l think I'm feeling
better. | read the boast of Dr. Yost,
who does much advertising; his pills,
he claims, cure gents and danes with
quiCkness most surprising. His ads
appear throughout the year in every
moral daily; his pills will cure the rich
and poor, he tells US, proudly, gayly.
The village doc is prone to knock the
pills he sees me taking; These heal
ing guys who advertise" he says, ARE
always taking Oh, come to me, my
friend" says he, when you are sick
and faded; I'll feed you pills of nuX
and squills that have the YOst pills
faded" But old Doc Yost he gets the
most of all the coin I'm earning; he
takes his stand, throughout the land
he keeps his lanthorn burning. In
every sheet l chance to meet his pills
are recommended; day after day we
hear him say, MY pills are truly
splendid. My pills are made of junk
and Jade, of barks and buds and sim
pies, they'll cure catarrh and leave no
scar, they'll Danish boils and pimples."
Physicians roast this Old Doc Yost
who keeps on advertising, and still he
trills about his pills, whose sales are
most surprising.

Changes Needed in Education Methods
Says President Judson

"a very whimsical situation is that in educa-
tonal organizations" says President Harry
Pratt Judson, of the University of Chicago, in a
recent article. He continues: Few thing, if
any, are more complicated, more entangled one
with another more difficult to reconstruct in any
new and simple way. A curious body is a group
of educators seeking a solution of one of the
many Chinese puzzles in their calling. There
will be reams of paper, showing how things are,
how they came to be as they are what are their
many and obvious infelcities; then what null
titude of difficulties bristle in the way of every
approach toward any new and desirable adjust
ment Yes, there certainly should be radical
changes, but any attempt to bring about such
change will at once cause more trouble than it
can possibly render.
"The whole educational process has become
too long, too involved, too repetitious There is
lack of cohesion, a very definite lack of sequence
ut is too long. Beginning theoretically with
the age of six, there are eight years in the ele-
nentary school, four years in secondary school
and four years in college. That brings the
average student, should he go through ALL to the
age of % Then if he goes on in a normal med
ical school of high grade he takes four years
more bringing him to the age of &c. Then a
year at least as inferno in a hospital enables
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-04-13

him at the age of II to begin the practice of his
profession. 1t will be then several years later
before he can find himself fairly established in
practice, and, really, to many the age will be 80
or more.
"In fact, the records show that in our best
medical schools the age of graduation is about
261a. The hand at least is more facile a few
years before that-the laboratory training is
more effective, and perhaps the mind is more
flexible The course as a whole is too long. In
its earlier years it is too long in detail The
eight years of the elementary school should be
six. An actual test of seven-grade elementary
school has shown conclusively that the eight
grades of work can be done in seven with no loss
of training whatever. With proper adjustment
and proper attention to sequence, the same can
be done in six.
"The American college curriculum is the out
growth of accident. It's origin antedated any
American university. 1t was at the outset sup
posed to have English sources-whether public
school or Cambridge, or both. In fact, it grew
as hybrid-Rugby and Oxford perhaps some
thing of both and not much of either, with grad
ual accretions from what American life seemed
to demand. 1t never was definitely planned as
a coherent part of an educational system, but
took shape gradually, more or less fortuitOusly
and without very specific aim. The college stu
dent doubtless was fitted in general intelligence
to begin reading for one of the learned profess
sions-divinity, law, medicine. An increasing
number entered business life with minds more
acute, with knowledge of many things which
sweetened life; above all, with experience of
men. Macaulay in discussing the Indian civil
service preparation insisted that the important
thing was not what knowledge the candidate pos
sessed so much as how he had come out in meas
uring himself with his schoolmates in their
common tasks"
