“If we were examining the intel-
lectual method of a sophomore to see
what sort of man he is, there are, 1
think, seven main questions which
we should like to ask:
“1. Can he and does he read books?

“In books is gathered up the cul-
ture and knowledge of the race. A
boy who has not learned to go tc
them, to live in them, to understand
their meanings, is not, in method at
least, upon the great highroad of edu:
cation,
“2. Can he express his
thoughts in writing ?
“3. Can he speak clearly and accu.
rately ?
“4, Can he listen to and understand
another’s speech?
“5. Has he a sense of fact, disting-
iushing from facts the mere sugges-
tions which are not yet established?
“6. Can he derive an implication,
draw an inference, and see what im-
plications and inferences dc not fol-
low?
”7. Has he a sense of values by
which to feel, to appreciate, to recoz-
nize the things worth while from
those not worthy of our choosing?
“These are, so far as methods is
concerned, the questions I should like
to ask about a sophomore seeking ad-
mission to a Senior College. They in-
dicate the qualities of mind which
make for education.”
GEO. SUMMEY, JR., head,
English Department.
