Hutchins Advises
Cut in Schooling
President Robert Maynard
Hutchins of University of Chi
cago said this week that draft
ing 18 and 19-year-old men would
eventually bring ruin to Amer
ican colleges unless they gear
their curricula to a war-time
schedule. The smaller colleges,
left without men due to the draft,
could, no longer run on a self
supporting basis.
.Dr, Hutchins proposed that col
lege,- cut the traditional 16-year
educational plan of eight years of
elementary school, four years
high school, and four years of
college, to 12 years. This would
finish a student's liberal arts
training when he reaches 18.
C h a n g i n g the elementary
school to a 6-year course followed
by four years of high school, then
four years of college would bring
the educational period down to
.14 years. He added that he was
sure that if left alone to work
out the problem by themselves,
American colleges could plan a
complete college course leading
to graduation by the time a man
leaches IS. Otherwise, he said,
the colleges will be totally with
out men.
The educator criticized the
trend toward teaching nothing
but technical subjects in war
time He emphasized that the first
job of our educational system
if; to teach the fundamentals.

Long walks through cool, green
and damp forests are very pleas
ant. So, too, are those slow,
dreamy strolls after dances and
shows. New shoes are pleasant
to look at and very nice for danc
es but hidden away in a corner
of their wicked soles is an evil:
they cause corns, blisters, and
bunions.
A look at the infirmary roster
shows what happens. A few days
later, limping ungayfully into the
infirmary, come the poor victims
with infected feet.
Moral: Be kind, generous—■
some call it being crafty—and
let hopeful roommates wear new
shoes while they look their best.
