HI. G.. Wells Criticism.

HI. G. Wells Criticism.
H. G.. Wells. in a recent article, chal-
lenged the value of a university edu
cation. He said that in another dec
ade Harvard and Yale would be empty
relics. His prediction is probably
wrong. but. what of his implied criti-
cism?
Business is becoming increasingly
complex. and the demand is growing
for trained men. The old-fashioned
classical education, which placed the
chief emphasis on Greek, Latin and
the esthetic. arts does not fit men for
executive jobs in corporations. It was
never intended to. The new criticism
is that the older forms of education
do not fit men and women for modern
life-apart from the money-making
aspects of modern life. Accordingly
university courses are being quickly
made over in consonance with the new
and important social and economic
changes that have taken place.
The demand is growing for men of
broad human sympathies and disci-
plined minds. In so far as university
training gives those results, it is well
worth the price. Most large employers
recognize the worth of the best type of
college men, but are impatient of be-
ginners who wish special consideration
merely because they have won a sheep
skin diploma.
A survey made by the National In
dustrial Conference Board into the
business experiences of thousands of
college men indicates widespread criti-
cism of their attitude, Father than Of
their ability and training. In an eff
fort to break down the alleged "su-
periority complex" of the college man,
business men advise him, "for the
time being, forget you ever went to
college"
Serve a Genuine Use.
OF course, the restlessness of college
men is In part ascribable to the fact
that they are older and have invested
more in preparation than graduates of
elementary and high schools who go
directly into industry. And in bring
ing a challenge to things as they find
them in business, college men fire.
Quently- serve "a genuine use, even
though they irritate older managers.
Industry needs more public spirit and
more humanity u it. and right-think-
not to be denounced for being unwil-
ing to be mere cogs in the machinery
which they find.
A college education is worthwhile ii

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING

College EducatiOns.

The enrollments at the universities
arc growing far more rapidly than the
population.
The problem of the colleges is not to
attract new students, but to establish
a technique for gracefully excluding
the oversupply of eager applicants.
State universities and privately en-
dowed institutions alike are finding
their facilities taxed to the utmost.
The new postwar prosperity, in
moro widely diffusing wealth. has
greatly increased the number of fam.
lies who can afford the luxury Of
