ture work so far as the pupil is able
to formulate them.
go Laying out high school course in
preparation for college chosen: If the
pupil is already advanced in his school
course, this involves planning only the
last year or two. The preferable work,
says Miss Sherman, is laying out the
entire course for a pupil just entering
from the grades. This part of the work
is increasing. Parents frequently con
suit the college bureau while the pupil
is in the eighth grade or Junior High
School. This makes possible selection
of a course 10 fit a particular college
| or type of college. A few details can
be left open to be decided later, but
the course as a whole is safe. II gives
the pupil the advantage and incentive
of a definite aim throughout high
school.
az Giving advice and information
about available scholarships and as
sisting in awarding scholarships: Many
regional scholarships are open to Cen
trail graduates, many are open to grad
yates of Washington high schools, and
several are awarded specifically TO
Central graduates.
EOR the benefit of pupils and parents
the director summarizes some of
the popular and persistent misappre-
tensions among them as follows:
"a That colleges Will accept any
graduate of an accredited high school
or that students can enter certain col
leges 'on the high school diploma.
This is true Of very few colleges
Practically all have specific require
=
quality of work. They require de
tailed information and usually each
has its own blank form to be used and
signed by the high school principal.
(2) That four years of Latin will
fulfill the language requirements OF
any college. This is not the exact re.
quirement of any college. The
academic colleges which require four
years of Latin usually require two or
more years of modern languages with
it. One Central boy who had taken
four years of Latin still had to enter
Dartmouth conditioned in languages.
49, On the other hand, that no col
legeS require Latin any more. The
endowed colleges of the East, like
Harvard, Yale and Princeton, require
three or four years of Latin and a
modern language for the academic
course. This is required of every ap.
pHcant or nearly all or the best known
Women's colleges-Bryn Mawr, Mount
Holyoke, Smith, Vassar and Wellesley.
(4 That two years OF Latin and two
of a modern language satisfy nearly
any college. This combination meets
the requirements of many engineer
ing and scientific schools, but Il few
of the best (for instance. Massachu-
setts Institute of Technology make
their language requirements entirely
in French and German. After all
their requirements have been met
there is scarcely time for Latin in a
normal high school course.
Evening star., 1925-10-18

f5l That boys who plan TO study
engineering must take mechanical
drawing and shopwork. Nowhere are
these required, and in most technical
schools entrance credit is given for
only limited amount. It is true
that, on account of the excellent work
of the mechanical drawing depart
ment at Central, college students are
sometimes given college credits for ad-
Vanced work here.
tbl Generally that pupils planning to
specialize in commercial courses, home
economics. etc, should take these sub
1ects in high school. The reverse IL
true. Vocational subjects are offered
here, especially for those not going on
TO college. Training schools and col
leSes prefer broad high school
course, with specialization to follow
at college. Some, even technical
schools, give credit for no vocational
subjects taken in high school.
To correct the results Of these mis-
apprehensions when the pupil has
reached an advanced high school year
Is often difficult if not impossible, ac-
cording to the director.
A considerable part of the college
bureau work consists I'm finding a salts
factory woman's college for girls
without four years of Latin. Nearly
as well.
a great deal Of time goes to helping
girls who have given one or more
years to domestic art, a popular frst-
year elective. A subject acceptable in
the women's colleges must be substt-
tuted for it, for most of these col
leses credit no vocational subjects.
This requires a heavy program in the
later high school years or added time
| for preparation.
Central graduates who have had this
advisory service available for four
years continually arrive at their
CHOSEN colleges without credentials
says the director. Comes a telegram
to the college bureau or a special de-
livery letter urging immediate atten-
ton. 1t is a rush season at the college
bureau, and the telegram finds a pile
OF previous applications on the direc-
tors desk, made in due form. II rush
requests are given preference, obvious
~ the earlier applicants are penalized
SO the impatient graduate fumes awav
the time in the college town until the
duly executed form arrives by mail.
Tor the colleges will not permit regis
tratlon without. Night appeals, Sun
day telephone calls and kilograms can
not make up for neglecting the serv-
Ice offered through four long years
American pupils might as well fol-
low the example of certain foreign
student who made the best kind of
use of the college bureau" SAYS Miss
Sherman. This student entered Cen
trail at a Disadvantage, with irregular
credits from English and continental
schools. He secured tentative pro-
grams for completing preparation for
Harvard in two or three years. He
kept these copies, returned with them
to the college bureau for consultation
from time to time. until his graduation
and successful entrance into Har-

A RE you going to send your boy
~ or girl to college? DO you
IA know which college? Is he
1 \ taking the right preparatory
course, or when he wants To
enter is he going to find that he hasn't
had the required preparation or Sc
cured the required grades for just the
college of his choice?
The college bureau OF the Central
High Shcool, which functions actively
10 months Of the year, is formed TO
prevent just that catastrophe in the
lives of its boys and girls. 1t gives aid
and direction to forward looking
Washington students and parents
from the time the pupils enter the
high school. If they Will but make use
Of its resources. Yet each year cases
of short sighted. bitterly disappointed
students and parents occur, in which
a worthy student is ready to graduate
from the high school. but finds he is
not prepared to enter any of his pre-
ferred colleges.
Here Is the case of s. bright young
girl student. wide-awake and intelli-
gent, whose father in her third year
offered to send her to any college she
chose. This sent her to the college bu-
reau. After diligent study of catalogues
and much correspondence the director
of the bureau finally convinced her
and her incredulous parent that at
the end Of her four years, regardless
of what courses she now chose, she
could not be prepared for any of the
colleges she wished to enter because
she had taken domestic art in her
early years. and not Latin.
"1f only I had known you had this
service" Is the frequent regret of the
otherwise absorbed parent. IF only
1 had come to see you earlier IS the
frequent wall of the belated student.
Since the first year at high school
Is none too early to begin preparing
directly for college, according to the
high school authorities, and since pu-
pills and parents, in the aggregate,
are singularly Indifferent to concrete
early plans, the college bureau has
used every practicable means through
the classroom teachers, assemblies
etc, to reach the 5000 and more pu-
pills and see that those who need it Sc
cure the required guidance. In this

Work of the college bureau is Of
two kinds-advisory and clerical The
advisory part is, of course, the big and
important thing, but the director is
limited by teaching program and the
clerical work necessarily reaches its
maximum at the opening and close of
every semester and must be done then
Because of this rush of work at the

should run away. An engineer stole
his wife and ran away on a train
