fNDIVIDUAL TRAINING IN OUR

ably one of the most noteworthy
books of the year. No subject

-Mr. Blrdseye; who is a prominent New
' (fork lawyer, graduated from Amherst
. In 1574 and has for five years been ln-
J estimating the students' problems In
ur colleges from a student's standpoint
rather than -from that of the college
- Authorities or alumni. He has made a
: masterly analysis of the strong and the
weak points of college atretics and
Shows clearly why what he calls "the one-
' horse-power professional coach ' often
lias so much more influence with the
' student body than the 60-borse-power
faculty with Its archaic marking sya
tern. He also "carefully analyzes the Prince
Ion preceptorial system, the new educa
tional method at the Carnegie Technical
' school at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, the
report of the committee of the faculty
M to student conditions at Harvard and
many other Interesting aspects of the
student problem that' have never before
"t been so systematically and clearly ex
amined from the student's standpoint.
' At Harvard only 8 per pent of the
student's tlms Is. spent in the lecture
room or recitation room, and therefore
6 per cent, Is spent away from the in-
fluence of professors. Mr. Blrdseye
" demonstrates that it is this time outside
e-f the class room which dominates the
v ether l per cent, and hencs the stu
dent's course at college; : that It is this
utstde llfs which today we are neglect
ing, and that 'from this neglect largely
comes the existing ussausiacuon wuu

pathy of the parent who has sent his
own children to college.
In view of the almost general aglta
tion among colleges, but more Dartlcu
larly in the high schools, against fra
ternities, Mr. Birdseye's opinions on this
pature of school life are of special In
terest Under the head of "The Evolu
tion of the Fraternity" he says:
"In the evolution of recent years the
college secret society has become the
Greek-letter fraternity, and the Qreek-
letter fraternity has passed into the
college home of a large proportion of
our students, especially those, who re
quire to be firmly and wisely guided
through their four crucial years. These
college homes contain a very large ma
jority of those who have plenty of
money to spend, and hence have means

the very element that the misunderstood
