UNIVERSITY HEAD
MAKES HIS REPORT
Pleads for Tolerance and Free
dom of Education From Control
of Small Groups.

| Minneapolis, Jan. 26-Intelleetual
training is not the sole aim of college
education and neither is training fol-
a better income, President Coffman
of the University of Minnesota de-
clares in his annual report, which
was made public this week.
The college man, he says, should
be more tolerant, more open-minded
than the man who has enjoyed fewer
educational advantages. He should
be more willing to hear every side OF
every question.
The report makes an insistent ap-
peal for the freedom of education from
the control of small groups which
place their own interests above the
general social good, whether these
groups be Industrial, professional, OF
political, saying
"It makes little difference that an
individual, newspaper, a group here
and there is able to control the poll
cies and programs of University sc
as to require it to teach certain things
and omit others, but it makes a vast
difference whether generation is to
be reared incompetent to read, study
and decide questions of life and con.
duct free from the exercise of some
kind of automatic control"
The report points out in addition
that whereas salaries and supplies in
the college of science, literature and
the arts cost the university $137 a
year, without including other expen-
ses, the student gets his education fol-
tuition fee of only $50.
II often wonder whether we are
realizing the aims of tolerance and
open mindedness to the extent that
we should, for education works
against heavy odds in its efforts to in
sure magnanimity and catholicity
| among its disciples" President Coff-
mans report declares.
Historically and additionally ii
has emphasized class education and
has been controlled usually by the
prevailing political theory. Even with
the establishment of popular educa-
ton in this country we have not been
able to free ourselves entirely from
the conception of traditional control
Then, with the development of a pow
erful industrialism there has been an
increasing demand, still growing more
insistent, that the schools somehow
| or other shall train for profit.
again, there is the demand of spe-
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1927-01-27

cial groups who maintain that the
schools shall be used to promote the
species of reforms which they advo-
cate. And finally, there is that innate
quality of human selfishness which
expresses itself some times in opinion
.ated, ignorant leadership and at other
times in unthinking opposition which
seeks to bend education to it's will.
Every time one of these forces Sc
cures new control over education
the schools, to some extent, suffer or
lose. They are no longer free agents
engaged in the high calling of edu-
eating generation to think freely,
fairly, and alphabetically, and to act
considerably in the interests of the
common good.
1.-THE schools should never become
the creature of any particular group,
the victims of any political doctrine,
nor the servants of an industrial or
der. They should never be denied the
privilege of considering every phase
of every important question or prob
lem that relates to human welfare,
and they should never become the
abiding place of intolerance. They
cannot operate in the interest of pub
lie good under duress of any kind"
Elsewhere the report says:
at is of little consequence whether
given teacher is permitted to teach
freely what he desires to inculcate. 1t
is matter of genuine concern wheth-
er the youth of a democracy shall be
permitted to learn freely on all SUBJ
jects which affect their welfare as
human beings and as citizens of a
free country.
ut is of small moment whether a
particular professional school trains
its students with view to increasing
professional fees. It is a matter of
extreme Importance whether gradu-
ates of professional schools generally
shall recognize that their primary
mission is to improve the ways of
securing justice. of healing the sick,
of instructing the youth, or of raising
the ethics of business.
"These are the things which con-
stitute the true price of democratic
education. This price is the hardest
to bear, the most difficult any social
order has to pay, for against it are
arrayed an old order and a multitude

 Lafayette was related to some of the npales who were beheaded and his body, therefore was plac. ed in this cemetery. which, aside from it's origin. is perhaps the most unusual in France.
 The Princesse de Hohenzollern, members of whose family were revolutionary victims, returned tu France after the country became quiet and obtained 9 secret au. thorization from the goyernmen to establish a cemetery. She wa enabled to buy the sand pit where the 1793 executioners tossed the bodies of those beheaded on what is now the Place de la Nation, near by. There. were 1,30G hodies there.
