O. Siecke, now your most efficient official in that capacity was for a number of years Assistant State For- ester of the state of Oregon and was very highly respected because of the way he conducted the affairs of his office.” ll lif EDUCATIONAL NEEDS OF THE PRESENT DAY MAN po A By Prof. John H. McGinnis Inefficiency of American colleges and universities and the factors re- sponsible therefor were discussed by Professor John H. McGinnis of Southern Methodist University at the weekly meeting of the Open Forum yesterday afternoon. He compared the average college to a steam engine, declaring that the full capa- bilities of the engine’s powers ars not realized. “There never was a time when uni- versity officials were so self-critical as -now,” he said. “They are not satisfied with present conditions af- fecting higher education. They are possessed with a determination to remedy things if possible.” “The trouble with our universities does not lie in the curriculum. Changes in this would not cure the evils of our university system. The fault lies in the preparation which the average student has before en- tering college or university. This fault can not be remedied by the col- leges, although they get much of the blame for illiteracy among college students. The colleges are under a handicap when they essay to make a finished product of a student who can not spell and who is unversed in the simple rules of grammar and arithmetic. “I do not want to be in the light ae a ae a 2 JA J A A 2 of criticizing our high schools. Many 4 high schools in Texas have a high state of efficiency, but a tively few of the students entering compara- New Shipment STETSON ARMY HATS university come from those schools. Most of our Freshmen have had in- sufficient and faulty training in grammar schools and more or less inefficient high schools. “I believe a plan will finally be worked out in America whereby all may get an education beyond the high school course. The State and the Church can well pull together in working for this end. But the time will never come when we will have too many colleges, so no fear need be entertained on that score. “I believe democracy will ulti- mately triumph in education. Even now the sons of butchers and banik- ers at college are more democratic than their fathers at home. I ap- peal to all good citizens to give their aid the cause of education, in get- ting better conditions and salaries for teachers, in getting larger en- dowments and more technical schools. Our educational system can be im- proved at all points. It is a problem of vital interest to all of us, and. like charity, it must begin at home. All Sizes In REGULATION 0. D.

Every college virtually became a training camp, and students gave instant and ef- fective response to the radical change of conditions, he said.
