placement program in 1858.
But the idea proved stimu-
lating-and students liked the
challenge of taking college
work while still in high school.
Five years ago the college en-
trance examination board took
over the plan, and has backed
it ever since. 1t has grown
phenomenally. From a handful
| of schools and colleges, the
program has expanded to 900
schools. 450 colleges and nearly
10000 students.
The new way the program
is developing, within several
years nearly all the major
school systems. and most Of
the accredited colleges, will be
in the plan. 1t is entirely
voluntary on the part of the
students. Tbs is the way it
operates:
The high school guidance
counselor, or the English
teacher. may feel that Ellen
is bright enough to do more
than the traditional school
work. Ellen is then urged to
take the advanced course in
English, or whatever subject
she showed superiority. Ad-
vanced work is offered in
American history, biology,
chemistry, European history,
French, German, Spanish,
Latin. literature and English
composition, mathematics and
! physics.
Ellen, with her heart set on
being a writer some day, took
the advanced course in litera-
ture and English composition.
She had a special program in
this area. The course was
geared to the work done at the
college level. Indeed, the
subject was prepared under the
combined direction Of a high
school and college committee.
Some 20 other bright students
were in Ellen's class. Their
teacher was specially trained
for this bright group.
Emphasis on Quality
The students analyzed pat
terms of structure, rhetorical
devices. techniques Of char
acterization, the use Of paral-
lelS and contrasts, and the
values of words, phrases and
figures Of speech. They had
frequent themes, essays, book
reports, and short stories to
write. But the emphasis was
taught how to do superior
not on quantity-students were
work. They weren't babied.
Last week Ellen, and 5000
other high school students, took
the exams in the II subjects.
In a few weeks or a month
they will know whether they
passed. If they did, they will
then present this information
to the colleges they plan to
enter this fall-virtually all
have been accepted. Most Of
the 450 colleges in the program
will give Ellen and her class
mates advanced credit for the
high school course.

American Institution
FIourishing in France

arrived in AK for the first
time in January, 1858. He at
once set to work organizing
the institute and publishing a
catalogue. BY September the
first group of students-24 of
them-arriEed for classes.
The students can take regular
university courses, if their
French is up to it, although
they still have to pass Ameri-
can-style exams. But they can
also take courses in govern
ment, art, philosophy. history,
education and other subjects
organized by Mr.. Maza with
English-speaking instructors.
Regular exams are given. Reg
ular American texts are used.
Some of the teachers are
French, others English and
American. One is DR.. Pitmari
B. Potter, retired American
University professor of inter-
national law now living in
Europe.
The standard academic pro-
gram has meant that institu-
tions throughout this country
are quite willing to accept the
years work for full junior-year
credit, according to Mr.. Maza.
Degrees Not Conferred
His institute-which he likes
to call a service institution
cannot be accredited because il
does not confer any degree. It
is, however. chartered by the
New York State Board Of Re-
gents as a non-pront eouca-
tional organization.
This year Mr.. Maza has 50
students from SIS colleges and
universities in 26 States. For
the time being, anyway, he will
be unable to accept many more
than this number annually be-
cause of space and financial
limitations.
Eventually, however, he hopes
to be able to expand the serv-
ices of the institute-perhaps
even to include a regular junior
college program.

Oniet-Genius I'D WorkI

Quiet-Genius at Work!
This sign could well have
been placed in 900 high schools
last week, from Brunswick, Me,
to Rolling Hills, Calf. More
than 5000 seniors, the most
gifted of the Nation, took the
most difficult exams that any
high school students were ever
asked to take. They were man
sized. college tests.
The students cudgeled their
brains, furrowed their brows,
and chewed nervously at their
pencils as they listed the sub
divisions Of the phylum proto-
Zoa, evaluated the Turner
thesis of the frontier move
ment, or discussed such curves
as the ellipse, hyperbola and
cycloid.
The testing program. which
lasted from Monday through
Friday, put the students on
their toes, and kept them there.
But these were not the ordi-
nary, run-of-the-mill students.
They were the most gifted and
talented boys and girls, with
the highest los in the land.
And, If they passed their tests,
as most Of them we're likely to,
they could enter college this
fall with advanced credit.
Many will be able to save a
year Of their college life be-
cause of this tremendously sig
niflcant project.
Two Plans Crystallized
The idea behind the ad-
vanced placement program
goes back many years. Educa-
tors have long sought for a
formula that would permit the
brightest pupils to move for
ward at a more rapid pace.
About a decade ago two plans
began to crystalline. One was
known as the early admissions
plan. under which bright high
school sophomores or juniors,
IS or Is years old, might go
directly into college without
finishing their high school
work.
The other was the advanced
placement program. by which
q bright high school student
could take college-course work
in his junior or senior year.
For a long time parents and
teachers realized that the tai
ented students were not chal-
lenged sufficiently in high
school. Many youngsters found,
when they entered college, that
their freshman year was easy
and covered much the same
ground that their senior high
school year had covered.
Seven years ago the Ford
Fund for the Advancement of
Education sponsored both pro-
grams-the early admissions
and the advanced placement.
Both have proved successful,
but educators are now con-
vinced that 1t is best to keep
students in high school until
they reach emotional maturity.
They are more likely to do so
If they remain for their full
four years.

Only IL colleges and 13 high
schools entered the advanced

iqhtest Students Take College Placement Tests

That means Ellen may enter
college as a sophomore, if she
has passed enough advanced
courses. Or, as is more likely,
she will get credit for two
courses - say English and
American history. She will not
have to repeat these courses in
college. but will get credit for
this work. Then, if she goes
for one summer session, and
takes two more courses, she
may complete the four years
in three.
Colleges approve Of this plan.
One-third of all freshmen VINO
entered Harvard University
this year had taken college
level work in high school.
THE advanced program has
succeeded far beyond our ex-
pectations," said DR.. Paul H.
Hazlett Of the College Entrance
Examination Board. DR.. Hazlett
is completing an evaluation of
this project, and has studied
all Of its aspects carefully.
Lauded by All
1t has won the acclaim of
colleges, high schools, teachers
and students. Colleges find
that many of their bright stu
dents are not bored when they
enter. High schools like the
colleges cooperation in pre-
pairing the courses. Both stu
dents and teachers enjoy the
challenge Of top-level academic
programs. And as for the
parents-well. at today's COL
lege costs, the saving of one
year can prove most beneficial
in terms Of dollars and cents.
But the money end of it is
not the most important. Un-
der this program, bright STU
dents get an opportunity to
work to their fullest capacities.
They are not chained to the
average student. They are
stimulated to greater educa-
tional efforts. And, what makes
the project even more appeal
ing to many. the students are
not forced" to enter upon the
advanced program. They are
encouraged. yes, but no pres
sureS are put upon them.
Actually, the way the pro-
gram operates in all parts of
the country. it is considered
both an honor and a privilege
to be invited to take the COL
lege courses while in high
school. Only a limited number
can carry the advanced work.
1t has been estimated that S
per cent of our students are
gifted or in the bright category.
Probably 3 per cent are in the
genius" class, based on their
superior los. Even at that.
of the 2 million high school
seniors, 10000 are fully able to
take the advanced school
courses.
It is entirely possible that
within this decade the advanced
placement program will become
one of the most significant de-
velopments in our efforts to
provide gifted students with
stimulating school work.

In the South Of France. not
far from either Marseille or
the Riviera, is q rather small
city (pop. 100000 called AK
en-Provenee.
If it holds any interest at
all for Americans. it is gener-
ally as an historical site dat
ing back to 123 B. c.. That was
the year Sextius Calvinus, a
Roman consul, established the
Aquae Sextiae CBaths of Sex
tius) there.
AK, however, is also the seat
of a university. And connected
to this university is what must
be the most unusual American
institution of higher learning
anywhere in the world.
Started two years ago, it is
called the Institute for Amer
ican Universities. Its academic
program is limited exclusively
to the junior year. And the
reason for its establishment
and continued operation is lin
tied to one man, who likes to
think that AK may be gaining
new significance and import
ance in the eyes of at least
some Americans because Of his
efforts.
Quit Job Here
The man is Herbert Maza,
who quit his job here as an
assistant in international CO.
ordination. department. of
Health, Education and Welfare
in 1857 to go to France to
establish the institute. He barely
spoke French at the time.
Everyone at HEW kept talk
ing about the importance of
preparing students in interna-
tional affairs" Mr.. Maza re-
called on a recent visit to
Washington. IT don't know
just felt something had to be
done about it."
His object was to set up a
program quite different from
the dozen or more junior-year-
abroad programs already in ex-
istence. Most of them, he ex-
planned, have been organized
and supported by Eastern uni
versities. They don't offer
standard courses, and they are
generally limited to students
majoring in French.
He wanted to set up a pro-
gram which would be of value
to students in other parts of
the country who would not
necessarily have q knowledge
of French but who would bene-
fit greatly from taking junior
year courses in France instead
Of, for instance, in Ames, Iowa.
Acted As Individual
Mr.. Baza wrote officials at
the University of Aix-Marseille
to ask If they would be inter-
ested in having such a program
affiliated with their institution.
They replied affirmatively.
For four months after leav-
ing HEW in September, 1857,
Mr.. Maza completed plans for
his institution and acquired a
distinguished board of trustees
for it. He and his family lived
OF savings: I'VE just didn't
buy our house in Silver Spring. -
Although Mr.. Maza was only
acting as an individual, the
trustees were willing to COM
NIT themselves to the institute
just as the university officials
had. Simply acts Of faith"
Mr.. Maza explained.
One of the trustees, Harold
E. Snyder of the American
Friends Service Committee
here, recalls now that he did
think the institute sounded
like a crazy idea" back in 1857.
But he backed it, and now is
glad of 1t. There's no oues-
ton the institute is accepted
and meeting a need" he says.
MY own feeling is that it is
the first Of a series Of such
developments throughout Eu-
rope"
