EDUCATION AT SEA

Many conflicting views have been expressed regard
ing the experimental university ship Ryndam, which
has been making educational tour of the world with
students for passengers. The general results have
been very good, according to former Governor Henry
j. Allen of Kansas who has offciaed as dean of the
ships school of journalism. Returned home on bus
mess trip in advance of the college ship, he says:
"The experiment has demonstrated clearly that the
idea is sound and wise. American youth benefits
greatly because learns that the earth is round and
not restricted to America alone. 1t establishes con-
facts and friendships in other lands. Besides, stu
dent applies himself better to study ship than on
dry land He hasn't chance to cut classes or go
dancing at the college nn.
AS for the charges of misconduct the cruise Dean
Allen doesn't take them very seriously. Admitting
some troublesome pranks, he doubts whether any co.
lege in the United States with over 400 students OF
both sexes would have preserved higher degree OF
morality and decency than has characterized the cruise
of the Ryndam.
At the same time he says that such collegiate crus
es hereafter should not be co-educatlona because
other nations can't understand the freedom of
educational SYSTEM shipboard or anywhere else,
and because the mngling of boys and girls IN such
close quarters makes too much social life on board
That is mere common sense. When boys or girls go
to sea for education they had better leave romance
at home
