Rollins College Changes
System of Instruction

Rollins College in Winter Park,
Florida, Of which Hamilton Holt, of
Woodstock, is president, has modified
to some extent its plan of instruction,
and viii put the new system into eff
feet this fall. Rollins three years ago
discarded the lecture and recitation
system in favor of the conference
plan.
The new development in the con
ference system is called the concen-
tration plan. BY il a student instead
Of taking five subjects for three hours
a week will take three subjects for
five hours a week. and all courses will
be arranged on term rather than a
yearly basis. Extensive courses may
cover two terms, and short courses
one term.
This system President Holt terms
the natural outcome of the conference
plan. Under the conference system
instead of listening TO a lecture or
being quizzed by the instructor, the
students spend their time during the
period in study, in discussions, or in
comforting with the instructor. I'm
der the lecture and recitation plan the
professor was active, the student pass
i've, but with the conference plan the
student is the more active. does more
work and more thoroughly masters
the subject.

Main Street Youth
Struck By Automobile

Walter Dinsdale, young son of Mr..
and Mrs. II. T. Dinsdale Of l6 Main
street, is making a good recovery at
the Day Kimball hospital from in
juries received when he was struck
by an automobile on Main street last
Sunday evening. The boy was struck
by car operated by George II. Bish-
op Of Putnam when he darted out unto
the highway from behind parked ear
without, apparently, glancing in
either direction. Bishop, according to
his statement, was unable to avoid the
boy in front Of his machine, and could
not stop in time TO prevent hitting
him. The vehicle knocked the eight
year old boy down and into the path
of one front wheel which passed over
his chest.
He was rushed to the Day Kimball
hospital where treatment was given
and X-ray pictures taken. 1t was
feared az the outset that the youth
was suffering from internal injuries,
hut such has proven not TO be the
case, and he now seems definitely to
be recovering.
Officer Edward Benoit Of the city
police investigated the accident and
from Bishops statement and the
statements Of Miss Geraldine Page Of
Main street and Mrs. Addie Albury Of
Main street, both Of whom saw the
accident, the officer termed the mishap
unavoidable and exonerated the driv-
or Of the car.
