to carefully Imiulre whether or not

.There are ninny who feel that the
; American rolleise Is putting out a
.very poor Hcholarly prodm-t. On the
other haiul there are men who crlti
cIhq the college from the atandpolnt
of practical efficiency.
"A New York banker In Rympathy
with higher education haa made the
comment: 'Apart from the fact that
tho collepe does not teach young
men anything that will be uaeful to
them In bUHliieHa, my observation
has mado me auapect that it Ik de
'flclent In another Important par
jtlcular, namely that the young nun
jaro not taiiKht accuracy, pernever
anco, and an iiuntlable appvtlte for
hard work.' .
"The collenn flndn lis mlxulon in
the true enda of education which 1
conceive to 'bo chiefly two; first, to
acqithlnt tho individual with the
spirituul pon8CB3lonB of the race,
that la lla literature, Its art, Us
acleuce. It-history. It thua help
meet tho highest needs of the stu
den's nuturp, that of Belf-dovelop-ment.
"Tho second eiul of education Is
to aiialat tho Individual to fulfill
the practical demands of life in the
accomplishment of aucii taskH or
callings aa will enable him to car
for tbo physical needs of himself
l:h1 of thoBO dependent upon him,
and perform faithfully his duties as
a member of human Bociety. The
college then, til brief, is to develop
tho man, and prepare htm to Kt
on In thn practical affairs of life,
and Its efficiency cannot bo Judged
rroni either Htnndpolnt without the
other.
"If we wnnt iBioaler efficiency in
colleRO work, we must be more care
ful about openltiR too widely the
front door. Wa must awake to the
I fact, before wa undertake It, that
wo cannot make a mahoKaity table
lout of bass wood boards. Tho way
to Improve the quality of our pro-
Iduct la to sort out tho taorthlRiw

i "Wo cannot improve tho product
of iilr colleges bli such a reorgani
zation of the curriculum and by
'such correlations and combinations
:of subjects as will mora closely

nienlH of life In tho present time.
I "The cOllcKo can Improve Its pro
duct by paying more attention to
tho pedagogy of college teaching
!nnd by better educational teaching."
