Better
High
School
Graduates

W7HAT kind of graduate are the high schools
w sending to the college doorstep now?
1t has been almost five years since Russa's Sput-
mix reused America into a near-frantic reappraiSal
of her system of education.
The marathon of talk is still going on perhaps
on a more even keel, but, meanwhile things have
happened in the schools. Many were happening or
would have happened anyway, bat many just
surely were speeded by aroused public interest in
school currculums and budgets
One revealing vantage point on the product COM
ing out Of the schools is the college entrance College
exercising high degree of selectivity sft the
secondary school graduates attentively in their
quest for the best
From comments Of some of the educators in
Washington's college community and elsewhere, the
high school graduate they encounter today emerges
in this light:
He is a better prepared student than he was
10 years ago, and in many cases already has
had the equivalent Of one or more of his col.
lege courses.
He sometimes has trouble spelling
He tends to think as matter of course of edu-
cation beyond the bachelors degree.
He is forcing universities to revamp their Of
ferings to keep up with him.
There seems no question that tOday's high school
graduate arriving at college is further along in the
sciences, math and languages when he gets there.
President Lee A. DuBridge of the California In
sttute of Technology gave an illustration at con-
ference on the American High School Graduate
sponsored last April by the Joint Committee of the
National Education Association and the Magazine
Publishers Association:
Cal Tech has dropped its freshman chemistry
course and substituted what was the sophomore
course plus some junior work. Twenty per cent Of
the freshmen were able to skip the first half of the
calculus course, though it is far more advanced
than it was six years ago
The number of students taking the third
fourth year of a language in high school has in
creased markedly, says Associate Dean of Faculties
John F. Latimer at George Washington University
And more students are coming to college with four
rather than three years Of English
Language study in the high schools was on the
rise already from low point 1854 he said and has
been encouraged both by Sputnik and by the Nation
al Defense Education Act AS president of the Amer
lean Classical League, he report that Latinstu
dent members of the Junior Classical League have
increased in one year from IS 600 to 1O1 ,OO0
While entering classes substantially better
prepared in math, science and English they are

The increasing volume of

 the chairman of the Wisccn-
 sin Highway Commission. He
 says: "As far as our depart
 ment is concerned. we have
 no jurisdiction :. But ii makes sense for the railroads. who need business and have adequate rights of way. to haul some of this freight in-
 stead of having if hauled on

 On the matter of federal tax reduction, NewsWeek reports: ;" The President must contend with a dilemma. In the face of Congressional opposi- ton, the downturn will have to be clear indeed before he will risk asking for a tax cut. On the other hand, if consumer confidence should start a fast decline, the trouble could be- come overwhelming by the time the statisticians catch up with the facts-and by then, the snowball might be too big to stop. In the words of Joseph Pechman, tax specialist and leading economist of Wash ington's Brookings Institution, once recession starts, it's hard to turn it around-tax cut or not"
