Consequently he who molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions." Abraham Lincoln, COLLEGE STUDENT SELECTION (Editorial) That the idea of college student selection along I'nes reeommended by | Dean C. E. Seashore in his recent !|| address at the College is having the influence of attracting disciples may be inferred from the vehemence of the | attack launched against it at the meet- | ing of the National Education Asso- | ciation in Chicago yesterday. “The value of a college education | has been shouted at the youth of A- | merica for some years,” said Dr. Coffman, “and now that the youth | of America are accepting the belief | and coming to college in droves, many prcfessors are saying that only the intellectually elect can be permit- ted to enter college. The singular fact is that many of the faculty could have never entered college at all had | such a rule been in force when they became freshmen.” “On the other hand is the publ'e”, said Dr. Coffman, “which demands a chance at the good things a college | can give, regardless of their intel- | ectual rating, as persistent labor and | earnest effort frequently counts for mcre in college than mere superior in- I telligence. The percentage of incom- | petents in college is no greater now than in former years, and the college does not make as persistent efforts to compel the freshman to make good that high school teachers exercise on their pupils.” : The longest resolution adopted re- cites the large increase in school at- tendance, the right of each individual child to equal educational opportu- | nity, the introduction of vocational | education and the Americanization | and night school work as being de- ‘mands of the people of the United Sta- | tes and asserts that these undertak- lings can not be continued if less mon- | ey is to be spent for education. It ends by saying, “It may be ne- jcessary to cut down expenses, but it should not be done by robbing | childhood of its birthright. The reme- ' dy is in more scientific distribution of | funds and more equitable taxation.” | as | MRS. BUECHEL WILL READ “MASTER SKYLARK” TODAY | | The children’s story hour, from 10:00 to 11:00 this morning in the | Y.M.C.A. parlors, will be in charge | of Mrs. F. A.
