OF course the college curriculum
lie that of the high school, has
been greatly extended in recent
years. Studies in the sciences and
in the fields of applied science, as
engineering or agriculture or home
economies have been added to the
college curriculum Prerequisite
offered in the modern college.
But premature capitalization is
often unfortunate. Very OFTEN the
life plans made tentatively in the

is far better for a young man to
lay a broad foundation in general
subjects as history. literture, the
natural sciences, sociology, econoun-
les, philosophy and ethics leaving
specialization till a 1ater period. This
ind of preparation for life is sure in
the end to result in increase of eff

larger success than a narrowly tech

Applies Most Successful

Teachers throughout New Eng

cuts, made directly or indirect

cutting is Indirect. The usual
additions, to salary, given for ex-

making dissatisfaction. In many
other places reductions have

Then comes extension of the
day to five and one-haIf hours.
The extra time is necessary to
carry on the physical program
required by the state. 1t does not
imply harder conditions in the
class room, but easier. Children
who are refreshed by play and ex-

easier.
Comes the Iengthening of the
year by 20 days. This will make

Under the present system the
rules requiring a student taking part
in athletics to be of passing grade in
all subjects is being forced to the
letter. to the great detriment of the
teams.
"Of late the rules have been inter-
preted to mean that a man dropping
a subject entirely is automatic
placed on the ineligible list, even
though he maintains a high standard
in his other four subjects. What is
the result? Instead of striving to
back-track and regain lost ground
the student who is deeply interested
in athletics loses interest in both stud
les and games. and in some cases
even leaves school.
This week the lid was shut down
with extraordinary force on six mem
bers of the varsity baseball team just
before an important game, GRIPPING
the team beyond repair. On this and

now ineligible the race is hopelessly
lost.
