Much Teaching Little Learning Colleges' Fault By ALYCE ROGERS The American educational sys tem has “too much machinery, too much teaching, and too little learning.” This was the charge made here recently by Prof. Kirsopp Lake of Harvard university. Continuing his denunciation, he said: “It simply infuriates me to see Pur universities having to give courses in elementary French or German, taught by young scholars who ought to be doing advanced work of their own. The languages should be taught our children in the lower schools. “We would get better results by enticing men to learn them by the whole army of baby deans in this country.” $ * A Thought. ..

Some disbeliever in the back of the room muttered an “Oh, yeah,” and without another word Professor Jameson flung the handful of jingles at the class. Because it was Friday, and because it was an 8 o’clock there was not as wide distribution as would ordinarily have been the case.
