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

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

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.

War Increased Practical Side
Mr. McGinnis said that the war
had done much for the American
college, inasmuch as it had demon-
stated its ability to adapt itself to
changing conditions. Every college
virtually became a training camp,
and students gave instant and ef-
fective response to the radical
change of conditions, he said. He
also expressed the belief that the war
