Under the above caption the following sentiments recently ap peared in the Minneapolis Journal. The Emerald feels that they should be of wide interest. “Dr. Marion Le Roy Burton, now president of the University of Michigan, is expressing dissatisfaction with the educational methods of this continent. Ilis dissatisfaction has been focused by statements coming from abroad, from places where American students have gone for the purpose of completing their education. Dr. Burton sums up his indictment in this paragraph: “ ‘Professors at Oxford University say of the American Rhodes scholars who attend the English school, that they have been taught nothing precisely. They lack accuracy. 1 hey are deficient in scholarship in a wide sense. They seldom settle down to a long spell of steady work.’ “l)r. Burton believes that our educational system in America must be revised somewhat, if we are to teach students to think for them selves. ‘Accuracy,’ says the doctor, ‘comes not from quantity in teaching, but from teaching the student to think.’ So he finds ob jections to any plan that determines the right of graduation by the number of 'points’ to the student s credit. “The boys in the expeditionary force, who were fortunate enough to spend some time at tin* English universities, were told that they did not, over there, ‘take courses’ or study textbooks, but ‘got up subjects.’ This shows that the English teachers found the students from America were accustomed to going over a required ‘course,’ but not to ‘getting up’ the subject in hand. They had not accus tomed themselves to thinking accurately all around a subject, mak ing themselves the master. “There is mueli in this critieism. Where the thinking work of the Amerieim student cornea in, is in after life. He beeomes engaged in a subject, finds that his edueution along the line in hand has been superficial, and so sits down by himself ‘to get up the subject.’ and to think it out for himself. Perhaps his more matured mind fits him better for this work than the mind of the student in the uni versity does, but he has to get the incentive, and he has practically to learn the method of study, in this country usually, after he has left the schools and universities, instead of in them. “ Accuracy and the art of thinking a subject out, as well as getting up what has been thought about it, these things are what Hr. Burton would got into our systems of education. It is a very diiterent matter from "graduating” a student based on the number id' 'points’ that happen to be down to his credit. “The real scholar in college is impatient of the matter of 'points’ and fast and hard 'systems,' but he knows well enough when he is ‘getting’ a subject and learning to think it out. President Burton’s disatisfaction with our present methods, with our lack of accuracy and with our lack of teaching the art of scholarship, is a prophecy of a rapidly coming change in educational methods in America. The time seems to be ripe for it.” There is much truth in what Dr. Burton has said and in the state monts made by the Journal. Here at Oregon, we are promt to say there have been great advances in educational methods in the past few years. With the point system we are satisfied as long as the university demands a high quality of work before students can se cure these "points” as Dr. Burton calls them or "hours” as we speak them here. Along with the University’s tightening of standards as far as grading is concerned has gone hand in hand another evidence of an 11^8? . singly more efficient educational plant. The old disposition to "schoolmaster” students are passing here at Oregon. Courses are designed that the student may do his own thinking and working so that in courses in which this plan has been successful he really does “get up” his subject.
