Dr.. Robert E. Vinson Tells
City Club There Has Been
Too Much Cramming.
MAKES FOR .MISFITS
rells Of Haphazard Method
of Students Laying Out
Course of Study.

The chief fault with the American
EDUCATIONAL system in the past has
cen the tendency on the part OF
chools to cram learning down the
.ns~-of students without regard for
heir special abilities. DIR. Robert f.
Finson, president of the University of
'exas, declared in an address on The
Individual in Education" delivered
efore the City Club Thursday at the
unter hotel.
In our zeal for education," said
he speaker, 1--WE have neglected to
tudy the child-to determine in just
-nat direction his abilities lie. Just
% long as this condition exists will
he world be filled with misfits.
The great difficulty at our higher

he fact that the average student has

In the Wrong School.
Doctor Vinson recalled an incident
n student whom he met in the
fedical School at Galveston. This
tudent complained that he could find
10 interest in his courses and that
is surroundings were detestable to

lent admitted that he had been sent
10 school TO study. medicine just be-
fause his father and grandfather had
been physicians, when he really want
Id to be an electrical engineer. Upon
he advice of Doctor Vinson the stu
lent transferred to Austin and took
tp electrical engineering. He took Il
treat interest in his new course and
vill graduate this year with highest
ponors. the speaker said.
Doctor Vinson blamed parents for
he failure of many students to make
epy progress in college.
656 many fathers and mothers are
busy doing things other than attend
ng to the rearing of their children, f"
continued the speaker. "This seems
10 be about the last job the average
nan and woman wants TO do. Just so
long as parents fail to train their
children properly, will there be so
nany misfits.
Must Classify Child.
II hope to see the day come when
parents and school teachers will get
together and classify the child. deter

hat the university may guide him
properly in the selection of courses.
When this is done, the university will

Doctor Vinson was introduced by
Nat M. Washer, who declared that
he university president had won q
place for himself in the hearts of Tex
pms that will long endure. Doctor Vim

state, Mr.. Washer said. that cannot
be estimated in dollars and cents. He
pointed to the growth the university

certain physical characteristics by
which the peninsula is surrounded,
the hope, the prediction is justified.
that the sea food possibilities are
most excellent, since it's products are
not subject to the communicating in
fluences working elsewhere.
Practical strawberry culture is
growing. White potatoes and straw
berries appear to be the logical, main
truck crops of the Eastern Shore of
Virginia. It seems to be safe to give
sweet potatoes third place, for, tho
they require long, tedious, technical
care and cultivation, they are, essen
italy cheap crop, requiring nominal
commercial fertilizer.
Demand for lumber, wire props,
etc, increasing value for tillable
lands, by that token has its woods
acreage been decreased. "Field COM
pact" and pounds" of manure are
only seen at their vanishing point.
Then sweet potato acreage is now
largely regulated by local back yard
"scrapings."
Incidently it can b noticed that
the summer potato tonnage from
Florida north to Cape Charles is not
large. The potato growing area fol-
lows the narrow coastal strip of
'sarying widths and development, and
is affected by varying climatic condi-
lions, due to gulf stream phenomena
and that sort Of thing. From Cape
Charles north it widens until it
merges with extensive late potato
producing zones.-By E. w. B., in the

SEA MONSTERS NOT MYTHS.
Weird Tales Of Wondrous Creatures,
Told by Sailors, Declared 70
Have q Foundation.

The chief abode Of the weird mon
sters Of the deep about which mariners
have spun yarns for more than 200
years, are the submerged mountains
and valleys that run along the West
African coast from Cambria to Sierra
Leone, according to Arthur K. Samp-
son, a Canadian mining engineer.
Nearly all the sea serpent stories orig
mated in these regions, Mr.. Simpson
says, and have been regarded as
myths. invented by imaginative SAIL
ors. Certain sections along the coast,
he says, are avoided by the native
fishermen, who dread the monsters,
which they declare rise to the surface
about sundown, and lash the sea into
fury with their immense tails.
Mr. Simpson says he saw the great
or portion of the body Of one Of these
monsters. which evidently had been
washed ashore by the heavy surf. He
says 1t had two forearms or flappers,
and two hind legs and a.. Nail, two
large. deep-set eyes, and an enormous
mouth. He estimated It's weight at
more than three tons.

RULED IN FEUDAL sPLENDoR
PATRONS in tho New Netherlands
ResembIed the Mobiles Of the
Middle Ages.

PATRONS was popular name ap-
piled in colonial days to special class
of settlers in the New Netherlands.
These wealthy grantees were priv
ileged to rule their colonies in abso-
lutte feudal style, the colonists being
bound to them for certain number
of years. Each PATRON was entitled
to have as his absolute property 10
miles Of land along any navigable
river, or eight on each shore, and so
far inland as convenient. The propri.
etors were empowered to hold civil
and criminal courts, to appoint magis-
trates and other local officers and, in
general. to punish offenders against
the law. The settlers were exempt
from taxes for ten years, but they had
to pay certain rentals. Slavery was
introduced, trade and commerce were
greatly restricted and manufacturing
was prohibited.
As the system tended to debar the
wealthy class Of individual colonists,
the charter was modified In 1910, and
extended to any good citizen Of the
Netherlands. The modified charter
limited the period Of settlement to
three years, removed the prohibition
against manufactures. and limited the
extent of land grants to four miles
along the coasts or rivers and eight
miles into the interior. In Its the
PATRONS, OF "lords Of the manor"
became merely landed proprietors.
