THE AIMS OF EDUCATION
While he saw much hope for the
future of American education, Mr.
J. 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.. If
the lecture-credit system turns out

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

to meet yourself!
WHICH is the real you? Where lies your
fundamental aptitude? What work
will call forth your ability and enthusiasm?
The individual is often too close to him
self to get the answers to these questions.
He will do well to secure the opinion of
some impartial critic who can view the
problem in perspective.
The industrial representatives who visit
your college can give such a judgment.
They have had broad experience in helping
men to find themselves.
In particular can the representatives of
the communication industry fit the man to
the work because of the wide diversity ot
work in that industry. Whether your abil

manufacturing, in finance or in selling, you
can find here your opportunity to help carry
this great art to greater heights.

Why Congest the
Christmas Mails
says Lee Ager!
isn't it going to be rather in

it is, when the Globe Laundry
can obviate the necessity for
it! Just try them out with your

other bit of white canvas will
have outlived its usefulness!

ing, sew on buttons, and darn

easy on the allowance, too!
