Awakening of the Colleges

by % American colleges, combines
theory and practice in thoroughly
effective manner.
DR. H. c. BYRD, president of the
- University of Maryland, has ex-
pressed hearty approval Of the de-
mand in the Hearst newspapers for
reorientation of educational methods,
especially in the colleges and uni
versities.
"This, I take it, does not mean
that the Hearst papers" the educator
said, care decrying a knowledge OF
fundamental learning, but, rather,
that they are insisting that there be
more definite attempts to apply the
fundamentals of learning to the
EVERYDAY NEEDS OF THE IN
DIVIDUAL and to the MOUNTING
NEEDS OF THE NATION.
"The Hearst papers are perform
ing a great service in trying to
deUelop greater objectiUity in
theoretical educational processes"
Thus it appears that the move
ment is growing to make education
a two-way street, providing both
general culture and individual skills.
The future destiny of this great
nation will be assured if the young
are well educated to take their places
of responsibility in the world of to-
morrow.
It is good to know that many top
notch educators are thinking con-
structively along creative lines.

Expansion Of Cooperative
Education Plan Favored

THE cooperative education idea
i has gained wide support from
school officials as well as industrial
concerns in the Detroit area.
At Wayne University rs per cent
of the students are employed in part
time jobs, though the school cannot
be classified as an educational CO.
operative because the jobs are not
necessarily related to the courses of
study.
Attempts are made, however, to
encourage students to get work RE-
LATING to their studies.
Dean w. E. Lessinger of the col
lege of education says that he favors
the plan for practical work-study
education and declares that the time
to set up such a system is now when
employment is at high mark.
He points out that in the Wayne
school of nursing, the system has
been in effect since 1923, and that it
has been HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL.
The engineering school, school of
pharmacy and seDeral sections of the
business school also haUe had partial
setups, Whereby the students were
employed, although they uere not
paired as is the case under the full.
fedged cooperative education plan.
A CCORDING to Dean Lessinger,
"A Wayne plans FURTHER EX-
PANSION Of the employment-educa-
tional plan this summer.
In discussing the benefits of the
cooperative plan, the dean pointed
out several obstacles which he says
must be eliminated to assure COM
plete success for its operation.
He declared that during periods
of unemployment students might
find difficulty in obtaining jobs. The
students must be guarded against
possible exploitation by employers,
he says, to make certain that they
are not hired for "less pay and more
work"
In TACT, the dean pointed out, sue
cessful operation of the plan depends
on a great deal of COOPERATION
FROM INDUSTRY.
Dr.. Dauid D. Henry, executive
head of the university, faUors a CO.
operative system based on the orig
inal Antioch plan and declares it his
belief that a system UiU be worked
out eventually Whereby economic
conditions Will not prevent the sue
cessful operation of the plan.
THE cooperative educational sys-
L tenn has been in effect for two
years at Crosse Pointe (Michigan)
High School, with some 125 students
