Fine Safety Talk
Given Friday for
Mckinley P.-T.A.

Capt. Mark HebbelthWaite of the
California highway patrol gave a
splendid talk on safety for Nc
Kinley Parent-Teacher association
at its meeting Friday afternoon in
the school.
The speaker dWelt on the prob
lem of safety on the highway and
emphasized the dangers resulting
from under-age drivers. placing tie
blame squarely on the parents,
slice, if they did not give their
permission, these young drivers
would not be able to have licenses
cars, nor gasoline. -.l
He pointed out moreover that
when these young people do get
into trouble, the penalty that is
put on them is far greater than
that put on the parents.
Mrs. Frank Douglas, outgoing

Perhaps now that your union

Perhaps if you are not salts

Did you ever eat K rations?
1t might be quite a lark for you.
All of us are here because we
had an inner urge TO see the
world from a foxhole, or, if
lucky. an air raid shelter.
Perhaps tonight when our
boys go out on a mission, some
of them won't come back.
Did you ever think that IL
might be due to the fact that
your strike caused us here to be
short just that many extra
ships, that would have made
possible complete protection?
But, after all now, 1 am very
selfish to ask you to think of us
over here. Working eight hours

the short hours we put in.

"A country prepare for revamp-
ing of programs in answer to a de-
mand for more education for useful
ness, Northeastern University in
Boston offers PROOF OF THE Sue
CESS of such a program after 80
years on the cooperative plan.. 3,
Northeastern University was
founded in 1909 with eight students,
on a plan which provided for alter
nate five-week periods of classroom
study and work at actual jobs re-
lated to their college courses.
In 1871 Northeastern had 200
day students, all aboUe the freshman
year, on the cooperative plan, Who
were earning total of $500, 900
yearly, ,Dhile WORKING TOWARD
DEGREES in engineering, liberal
arts and business administration.
The faculty of this school has
nine men who give their entire time
to holding conferences with repre-
sentatives of industrial firms and
with students; to supervising the
work of the student in industry and
his progress accidentally.
CTUDENTS attend full time during
~ their first year, and for the next
four years work a total Of 26 full
weeks. They have in normal times
only two weeks vacation, hence have
completed the same number of
academic hours at the end of five
years as have the students in
straight four-year course.
DR.. Carl S. Ell, president Of
Northeastern since 1910, largely
responsible for the great success of
the cooperative plan, expresses his
belief that a WIDER APPLICA-
TON of such programs will be made
in American colleges AFTER THE
WAR.
ut would be difficult to find a
more intelligent and practical means
of vocational guidance.
II think that after the war there
will be an enormous UPSURGE in
education, and greater interlacing
of the PRACTICAL with the
ACADEMIC" he said.
LOR many years approximately
l. $50 industrial firms have en-
ployed students on this plan, among
them banks, railroads, the General
Electric Co., Edison Light, depart
ment stories and factories, These
firms make regular reports on the
students work and attendance, and
employ the same students, AFTER
GRADUATION, in positions of
greater responsibility.
"The placing of students in jobs
has never been a problem with u.s."
DR.. Ell said.

"More than 40 per cent of our
seniors have jobs WAITING for
them before their receive their
degrees.
Their work outside the college
does not count toward their credits
for a degree, because we, in America,
are not grown up enough to recOg-
nize EXPERIENCE as EDUCA-
TON"
DR. ELL said that Northeastern
- was the second college in the
country to adopt a work-and-study
plan by which students of limited
means could obtain advanced educa-
ton. The first was at Cincinnati
University in 1906.
A few other colleges adopted such
plans in whole or in part within the
next decade, he said, and in 1920
Antioch College in Ohio was founded,
at which time Dean Philip c. Nash
went from Northeastern to establish
the cooperative plan based on the
one in Boston. Antioch's program is
the most widely publicized Of this
group.
beginning in June, 1912, North
- eastern was forced to virtually
abandon the cooperative plan in
order to hasten the technical educa-
ton of young men at the request of
the armed forces. On the accelerated
program students get degrees in
three years.
The college became co-educational
for the first time in 1913, in the day
schools, although its very large adult
night colleges have admitted women
for years. They will continue this
policy after the war.
1--WE will, of course, return imme-
diately to the cooperative plan for
men and women students as soon as
the war ends" President Ell said.
1--WE have faculty postwar plan
ming committee, but it is likely that
we will have changes only in minor
details, as our plan has been so sue
cessful that we feel other colleges
may follow it."
CHORTLY after the last war, a
~ commission of Russians in this
country to study American education
was so impressed with Northeast
ern's program that they didn't wait
to write their report home, but
rushed to cable it.
Many educators of foreign coun-
tries have spent time at the school
and applied it's principles in their
own lands.
