ADULT EDUCATION
ENC|RCLES BRITAIN
Initeracy Virtually Gone as
Result, College Meeting
Is Told.

The story Of the system Of univer-
sal adult education that penetrates
from London throughout Great
Britain, and even to sailors at sea, was
brought today to the annual meeting
of the Association of American Col
leges by DR.. Albert Mansbridge, G.
H, one of England's foremost educa-
tional leaders.
DR.. Mansbridge, 81, one Of only 80
men in the British empire honored
with membership in the Order of the
Companionship of Honor, recogni-
ton for public service that ranks above
knighthood, will speak on THE Col
leges Of oxford and Cambridge" at the
associations annual dinner tonight at
the Mayfiower Hotel.
The two-day meeting that con-
vened this morning brought to WASH
ington more than 500 college presi-
dents, deans and other officials from
virtually every State in the country.
contributions to Liberal Education IN
the College is the theme of the as
sociation sessions.
DIR. Conant to Speak.
Speaking tonight on the same pro-
gram with DR.. Mansbridge will be
President James Bryant Conant Of
Harvard University. DR.. Conant'S
subject will be "The American Col
lege."
DR.. Mansbridge. in an interview to-
day, discussed the English adult educa-
ton system in which he has played SO
prominent part. He is president OF
the World Association for Adult Educa-
ton, chairman of the National Central
Library of England. president OF the
Seafarers' Education Service and the
British Institute of Adult Education.
founder of the Workers Educational
Association and member Of the Royal
Commission on the Universities Of Ok
ford and Cambridge. among others.
Adult education" he said. 'is an
essential part of the work of Oxford
and Cambridge. Glasses all over the
British Isles are aided financially by
the Board Of Education government
agency. One Of the features of the
system is that adult students study
what they want to study" If their
home library does not have a book
they desire to study the book is Sc
cured from the National Central
Library.
Adult education in England has vir-
tually eliminated the problem of IL

versity, who discussed the theme from
the standpoint Of philosophy, and
President Meta Glass of Sweet Briar
(virginia) College, who took up the
relations Of "the humanities" to the
theme.
THE first business Of higher educa-
tion," said Prof. Hooking, "is to set
the individual free-from tradition
and from the methods of traditional
learning. The college has to Coop
crate with those processes which ma
ture has already begun to work In
him during later adolescence, to stir
up In him the sense of difference and
to make him q critic of what he has
received.
The first business of the college"
he continued, "is to equip the man
for free individual thought, whatever
his field of interest may be, and this
equipment is philosophy.
Philosophy is the completion Of
the process of individual birth.
So far, then, from philosophy being
one of the subjects for election. we
may say that the business of election
is not safe, nor even significant, with
out philosophy"

president of the association; DR..

MONTGOMERY Ala.-The Bama
State Hornets shot to pieces by the
loss of over twenty Of their first
string, rounded out their second week
of training in preparation for this
years battle. The small squad Of
thirty odd in reporting the first week
has gradually swelled to around five
teams, with only slight half dozen
letter men on the field.
While local drug store coaches and
forecasters shook their heads and re-
signed themselves to season of
Hornet defeats, this years hopefuls
went thru daily workouts including
three scrimmage sessions and end
less signal drills. Many of these
youngsters who have sat on the bench
for one or two seasons and never
received the nod to go in believe their
chance has come and are going about
their work with plenty of enthusi-
asm. No less enthusiastic are the
freshmen newcomers and "B' squad
men of last year, who are trying to
move up this year. All Of these
have glory behind them, but there is
big difference between the way
the game is played in the big time
and the high school. Certain adj
iustments mast be made, and with
man killer schedule beginning on
