Stitt Wilson, in his recent World Forum address, brought many serious charges against the aims and methods of higher education. His condem nation of the lecture system which he called a "pouring in" process was emphatic. His other statements seemed to point out that the universi ties have failed to organize know ledege; are neglecting the best stu dents in the effort to educate the many; and are failing to develop the well educated men and women, and world citizens, and true social units which it is the purpose of a univer sity to develop. The statements of Mr. Wilson do not represent a voice crying alone in the wilderness. Presidents, deans, professors, and students throughout the country have in recent years brought the same charges against our institutions of higher learning. Ad mitting that well trained specialists and professional men are being turn ed out, they point out that gradu ates are not equipped for intelligent membership in the society in which they are living. They lack appreci ation of the world, they are without working attitudes toward it or phil osophies of life which make for in telligent change and progress. The charges seem to be that citizens of the highest type, truly educated men and women, are not developed in our universities and colleges. These conditions, if true, call for a re-examination of the aims and the methods of modern education. For, when criticisms such as these appear against institutions so important in the organization of society as edu cational institutions, an immediate survey of the situation should be made to determine the validity of the statements. The charges mentioned point out the deficiencies of the present sys tem in the light of what should be taking place. The aims of educa-i tion, it would seem, should be to pro duce enlightened members of society, citizens in the highest sense, men and women with a world view of things. That we have such members of so ciety is imperative and if they are not being developed by the means which should develop them, those mean (the universities) should be examined. Men and women of the type deem ed essential are not appearing among the graduates of the colleges and uni versities because these institutions do not consciously aim to produce them and because the methods do not tend to develop them. If the student should learn to think and form inde pendent judgments, he must not have his information poured into him or injected by a hypodermic needle..

D33S7 31S No. 12 SL men and women whose Information is in neat but unrelated little pack ages, whose faculties for critical thinking are undeveloped, whose abil ities for independent work have been subordinated, who are slaves to pro fessional authority, whose totality of courses is represented only by the letters "A. B." on the diploma, then a re-examination of this system is in order. Such a condition exists, ac cording to these critics, and the least we can do is to see by careful in spection if their charges are true. The responsibility of individual students is the greater, if our critics are right They must on their own initiative make up for the deficien cies of the system. More than ever, theirs is the duty of self-education. If the tendency now is the produc tion of compartment minds, students must fight against the tendency by broad reading and careful thinking. If the tendency is to produce uncriti cal intellects which are dependent on the authority of professors alone, then the student must be more care 'We believe that the dress that shows taste and sentiment is elevating to the home, and i one of the most femi nine means of beautifying the world."
