arrived. she told a story bearing ON
this subject and bringing out the
thought of honesty. Before tte child
went home he brought the toy to the
teacher and told her he had taken IL
but that he was sorry. Training like
that will save many future criminals.
1t is gratifying to note that this
subject OF providing educational ad
vantages for our children between 4
and years Of age is coming to be APP
preciated. The most effective means
OF securing more kindergartens is
through the enactment of laws pro-
viding for their establishment upon
petition of parents. SucE law has
been in force in California since 1913.
and has put that State in the lead in
the number of kindergartens in pro-
portion to the population.
Seven other States have followed
the example set by California and
have enacted similar laws. namely.
Arizona. Nevada Texas. Maine. Penn

Few Liberal Studies Are
Without Practical Worth

There are few liberal studies which
have not in the last analysis a practi-
cal value In the great entrance hall
of the University Of Liverpool there
is a bust of a noted shipbuilder who
was benefactor of the university,
though not, as recall, ever one of it's
students. But he did not endow
great engineering or other professional
department. where he might expect to
see concrete results in his lifetime.
His gifts were such as to justify the
inscription. which by the terseness of
its truth thrilled me when | saw it:
"He realized the practical value of a
classical education"
TO such a man what was the practi-
cal value of. let us say. Latin? It's
splendid mental discipline. you may
say. Would he not, however. have
held that equal discipline comes from
study of mathematics or some science,
with the added advantage of equlpping
him who masters 1t for the work OF the
world? But discipline has many sub
divisions. Sometimes man of special
ized training has to get into situations
that are not familiar. Will he not
blame those responsible for his special
lied training II ne fails to be at home
i'm unexpected conditions? modern
college trained man has been defined
as one who knows everything of one
subject and something Of every other
subject. America is now tired of that
monstrosity. the uneducated specialist
the dentist who cannot write intelli-
gible English or the engineer who
knows nothing but cogs and lovers.
The college, then. does not prepare
for one profession. but tries to prepare
for ALL though that is not it's only or
even its chiefest function. Aims
and methods are alike different In
professional school and college.
In the one case the student is
trained to do a specific thing largely
by practice; in the other, he is trained
to do many general things, chiefly by
theory. But theory precedes practice.
If the pre-medical undergraduate
should carry into the medical school
from chemistry. physics. biology and
psychology only those parts which
have immediate practical application
in the field OF medicine, the purpose Of
the pre-medical college course would
be largely lost.
The whole question. of course. was
solved when the professional schools
began to require at least one year Of
college work for entrance. II they do

College Touches Real World

We must. Of course. so change our
methods Of instruction as to persuade
the student that the college as well as
the professional school touches real
world-not perhaps the same kind OF
real world, but none the less real ard
vital. The attitude of passivity into
which so many methods OF college
teaching conspire to force the student
must be changed into an active COOP

may be due to the fact that inspiring

Cultural Studies Held Necessary
to Round Out a Broad Education

liberal education, why do they not
either admit directly from high school
or else attach these pre-professional
subjects directly to the professional
curriculum? In that connection,
however, 1t should be observed that
the liberal colleges are faced with a
struggle in this increasingly special
lied agc-they should resist the ten
dency to force into their ourricula
studies which properly belong in the
technical school
If the college Is TO have a proper
part in the new movement to recon-
struct vocational and professional ed
ucation on broad plane, it will have
to iecast some Of its cherished tradi-
tons. Our technical departine nts have
been pioneers in learning by doing"
Therein Dean Schneider Of Cincinnati
has blazed a trail which all profess
sional training must in part follow.
Laboratory and shop work, practical
cooperation with industry. contact
with technical experts, have made
these newer departments what they
should be-workshops where theory
ard practice constantly fertilize each
other and where the student energies
a competent technician in his craft.
The surprising but deserved success
of such methods may, unless we exam
inc all sides. reflect sadly on the col
,eges and persuade us that their
methods, if not their aims are me-
dieval, adapted only for the cloistered
few, without significance for those who
are to battle with the practical worka
day world.
Too often the college course is
looked upon as a preliminary to pro-
fessional studies which is valueless
and unnecessary. When a boy enters
the professional school his point of
view at once changes; there is a
quickening Of interest Though part
of this feeling may be due to his impa-
tience to get out into the world much
of it certainly comes from a realiza-
ton that at last he has come into n
spl ere where thinking means action.

acting labor, is cheerfully exchanged

TON of New York recently
issued figures which he said


showed "the tendency Of the Juvenile
TO initiate his elders" wto commit
crimes. The figures were based on the
number of arraignments in childrens
courts in New York county in March
and April.
In March. twenty-nine boys were
arraigned for burglary and seven for
grand larceny: In April, forty-three
for burglary, twcnty-one for grand
larceny and two for highway robbery.
Even IL we were not concerned with
the future. 1t would be economy to

estimate that TIE cost of crime in this

Culture Creation Is Not
Full Achievement of College

IL is essential TO awaken the i'm
pulses of inquiry, OF experiment, of
investigation, of reflection, the instinc-
tive cravings of the mind. But no
liberal college can be content with
this. Thc impulse to thinking must
be questioned and rationalized, as must
every other instructive response. IL is
well TO think. but what shall we think
about? Are there any lines of investi-
cation and reflection more valuable
than others, and If so how is their
value to be tested? President Meikle-
john suggests that our man of intellec-
tual culture may be found. like Nero.
fddling with words while all the world
about him is afiame.
Ana the point of the suggestions is
not that fddling is bad and WORTH
less pastime, but rather that IL is in
opportune on such an occasion. and
that the man who does il is out Of
touch with his situation. In n word
men know with regard to thinking. as
with regard to every other content OF
human experience, that 1t cannot be
valued merely in terms of itself. It
must be measured in terms OF its rela :
tion to other contents and to human
experience as whole.
AS thus defined, then. "the issue ia
not between practical and intellectual
aims but between the immediate and
the remote aim, between the hasty and
the measured procedure. between the
demand for results AT once and the
Willingness to wait for the best re-
suits"
But by study, experience and inclin-
alton | am prejudiced in favor of one
side OF the question that has hecn
asked of me. My conclusions may not
seem very concrete. But must we
choose between edison or Henry Ford
and William James or Charles w.
E.iot? Mr.. Edison himself would prob
ably be the first to say that, different
as are the phenomena in different
parts of the field OF knowledge, and

the methods TO be applied, the habit

tion in any department quickcns n

requires eighteen hours divided be-
tween two departments, either twelve
hours in one department with six in
another, or nine hours in each of two
departments. The third and new ar
rangement of these eighteen hours
prescribes twelve hours in one depart
ment with the remaining six in allied
courses (not departments).
More Stimulus to Be Offered
The Honor Student
8. The most interesting change is
the proposal which the new curricu-
lum provides for honors in subjects.
In common with the faculty of other
colleges the academic council has
come TO feel that the provisions of our
present curriculum do not furnish suf-
ficient stimulus to the able student,
and therefore the plan for honors in
subjects has been adopted.
A candidate for honors in subjects
must take all the required work. In
place of the ordinary restricted cleo
tive she is required to take twenty
one hours in her field of distinction.
This field of distinction includes work
in her major department and the allied
courses combined. Admission to hon.
ors in subjects will be confined to can
didates whose scholarship. maturity
and previous range of requirement
justify exceptional concentration. The
work in her field of distinction of a
candidate for honors in subjects will
be tested as follows:
(A) l. In general the regular tests
of the courses in the field of distinction
must be taken, including the examina-
ticns in these courses through, the
junior year.
2. In the senior year the informal
tests of the course shall be given at
the option of the instructor.
3. In the senior year the June course
examination may be omitted at tie
option of the instructor and the in
structor be authorized to give grade
in the second semester.
(B) A comprehensive examination
must be taken in the students field
of distinction at the close Of the senior
year.
A standing committee on honors in
subjects will be created whose duties
will be as follows:
(a) To accept students applying for
honors in subjects.
(b) To review and approve the pro-
posed program of each candidate for
honors in subjects,
(c) To arrange for the comprehen-
sive examination at the end Of the
course.
(d) To arrange. with the approval of
tie departments concerned. for not
more than three hours of independent
work in the field of distinction.
This last provision excuses candi-
dates for honors from three hours of
routine classroom work, thus giving
the able student freedom to pursue
Independent investigation in Ter field
of distinction.
1t is believed that these changes
preserve the good features of the
present curriculum. while providing a
stimulus and opportunity for the stu
dent Of unusual capacity to make a
genuine beginning in advanced and
independent work.

days when all classes of people come
To college
Greater emphasis must be laid on
mental training for the enrichment of
the mans own life and the unconscious
but none the less real emanations
which may indescribably enrich large
or small community. One great
thinker in one community, the product
of great costly university. is reason
enough for its existence, even though
he fail to add to the sum total of the
city's material wealth. Where there is
no vision the people perish. We shall
be told that it is false assumption
that the great thinkers are all prod
ucts of colleges. But / am speaking
now not of great thinkers but of aver
age men who have been trained to
think.
Educational leaders like President
Meiklejohn of Amherst have discussed
that question authoritatively. When,
he says, the man of the world is told
that a boy is to be trained in thinking
Just because of the joys and satisfac-
ton of thinking itself. just in order
that he may 60 on thinking as long as
he lives, the man Of the world has been
heard to scoff and to ridicule the idle
dreaming Of scholarly men. But if
thinking is not good thing in itself.
ii intellectual activity is not worth
while for its own sake. will the man
OF the world tell us what is? On the
other hand. the creation of culture as
so defined can never constitute the full
achievement of the college.
