1MI. TIJl'TH, WE
VOM)KR ABOUT YOU
Mr. I. M. Truth, sometimes wo
think you are a shiftless bastard.
Like little fragments of iHist in
the air, you wander around list
lessly, serapinp your sides with
your colleagues and relatives, Mr.
O. U. Justice and Mr. C. R. Vir
tue, but you knnwest not where to
settle. Sometimes we hate you,
Mr. Truth, because when we use
your copyright our opponents come
j i;ht bark and use your name in
vain. We think that you should
utilize your half-brother. O. XT.
Justiee, and put him to work more
l'teuently.
Sometimes we even think that
you died in misfortune and dis
place and that your little children,
nil little Truths, are running wildly
nboiit without a guardian. Now,
Mr. Truth, we accuse you of beinj;
unfair. How can you be in Wash
ington on the eve of a "fireside
chat" and then run way out here
to Nebraska to get in on a state
vide trial? Kither you have a lot
of descendants helping you, or you
are not getting your work done
properly.
ARE WE YOUR ENEMIES?
We are inclined to believe that
you have a number of brothers
and sisters, sons and daughters.
And many of them are dying
each day, but, on the other hand,
your reproductive machinery is
working overtime. You must
have some real strife in your
family. We wonder what hap
pened, for example, when the
people took one of your children
for evidence against Copernicus
who immediately took anotre
of your offsprings for his I'd
of the question.
We have often wondered if it
Isn't us - we the representatives r.f
trie highfr systems of learning' -that
make a liar out of you. We
think we have when we ie taught
the modem theories for the origin
of the earth and other occui rent es
in the realm of the physical sci
ences. If you exist. Mr. I. M. Truth,
you're sure putting yourself to
a helluva lot of work on the
campi of these institutions of
higher learning. You're on our
heels all the time. We go into
the science building and you're
there. We walk across the mall
to a philosophy class and you're
there with different clothes on.
We can go into a class of politi
cal science and then, in disguise,
you follow us up to the history
department. But what we don't
like is the fact that you can
change to exactly the opposite
from one time to the other.
YOU BETRAYED US.
r.ut what gits us most of all is
that you don't get your d gem rate
half-brother. O. IT. Justice, after
those people who use your name in
vain. Wt thought you had the
nerve to do sorm thing alioiit it
Ijtsi week we assumed that you
were at our heels at all times. We
think you were. And then some
of our opponent took your name

Our American
Spoon Fed System
Recent indictments njrninst the American
oducationiil system ehnrge it vith 1 ho crime
of spoon feeiling' ntul pampering' the student,
tending- toward mechaiiiy.ation of liis mind ly
its lack of emphasis on thinking- aliility. Natu
rally largo classes, lecture courses, and the
general orgaiiiz-il ion of the student group are
not conducive to greater creative thought.
Thus, there is justification for such a charge
and educators are viewing; the situation with
alarm.
(pinions of a few prominent educators
concerning the indictment may help to clarify
the situation, resident Frank Aydclotte of
Swart limoi'o college helieves that the present
educational system is woefully inadequate for
those who are really eager for education and
who possess real aliility to deal with intellec
tual prolilems. On the other hand. President
Aydeloite asserts that for the mediocre stu
I dent our conventional academic system is at
least moderately successful. This system does
i not assume on Ihe student's part any high
. level of ahility or any consuming interest in
i intellectual things. Carciul direction is pro
vided day hy day. Py an elaborate system of
spoon fciding' even the idle and the ignorant
'are initiated into the elements of a large vari
' ety of subjects and are usually carried a little
! beyond the rlt ihi lit a ry stage in one. He main
tains that by freiplelit exercises and tests, by
j elaborate supen isioii of cuts, by constant ex
amination and marks, it is made certain that
every individual does some work for his degree.
Eut even the justification thai such a
system is valuable to the mediocre student
! can hardly be sufficient reason to retain
such an educational process. Such a system
does not train a student to think creatively,
nor will its pampering; prepare him to face
life's facts later on and do so adequately.
In addition to these objections one might
also ask, why should our educational system
be suited to the minds and abilities of the
mediocre student without regard for the ca
pacities of the more intellectual group?

declares, "I do not regard college as an intel

)r. (Jardner.
An interesting sidelight to the situation
is offered by Prof. Holland D. Roberts of
Stanford university. According to Professor
Holland if we would replace the obsolete,
sterile and repressive curriculum of our
schools with a dynamic purpose to build
originating, participating human beings, we
could have in a single generation a nation of
singers, poets," musicians, architects and
builders. Thus, there is shown the need of
replacing mechanical teaching of a subject
to that of creative education.
In surveying the remedies of such a situa
tion, one might suggest such plans as that cm
ployed at Chicago university where a student
works at his own rate of speed and eventually
takis a comprehensive examination over the
course. The degree of the student's success is
determined largelv bv his own motivation and
