The Open Door in Education By FRANK D. BOYTON, Superintendent of Schools, j Ithaca, New York I I would be interesting to know of "units," evidence of more lm- how many parents, in these an xious weeks preceding the open ing or our colleges, are as kins with a pathetic sense of helpless ness: "Will my child be debarred from college?" ' A few short years ago; our colleges were asking for more students, and to this call the schools responded. If our colleges this fall follow the present acade mic fashion, thousands ot 'high school graduates win be denied admission. And the .tragedy of it will be that, of these boys and girls to whom the door of opportunity will be, closed, .thousands will be as worthy, as well trained and as competent as the more fortunate thousands who will gain admis sion'.

Is, considering the fact I that It is ULed - by institutions' whose function, it is to train in telligence and make - it effective, strangely unintelligent, j Only in rare cases will anything , except "scholarship," as Indicated by the ability to meet traditional require ments through . the accumulation of arbitrary determined ' "units," have anything to do with matter. In Tace of even a fractional lack ponderable, though certainly equally valuable, qualifications qualities of leadership, fine per sonal traits,- characterquallties tof industry, honesty, purpose-fulness will avail little. k Our college tell us that they are overcrowded; that too many are going to college; that they are overburdened with, dead timber for wh'om the college can do noh lng. Granting that some are at tending college; who canot benefit by it, the remedy would' seem i to lie In devising some mora Intel ligent : method of selection' and It Is encouraging to note, that some of our colleges have set themselves . earnestly to the dif ficult task of finding other more equitable methods of measuring the fitness 'of the candidate than that of more scholarship along iraawonai anes, important as scholarship Is admitted to be. In general, however, Jt Is still true that our colleges are trying to meet me situation merely as a more ruthless aplication of the old reqairemetnts arbitrarily determin ed vainly it wtould tem. since. In spite of' their rigid application. college faculties continue to com plain as bitterly as ever of the Inferior quality, of the student ma terial. , 1 Beyond. a doubt, some vf our colleges are crowded; but by. no means, does It follow that too t (Coatiauad m pay T) L.
