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'. For the method of selection
employed. 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.
