SCHOOL AND COLLEGE NEWS
Information of Great Value for
Those Planning Children's
Education.
IMPORTANT QUESTION TO SETTLE
The clock that marks the day of vaca
tion has struck 12. high noon. Time
has arrived at a point Just midway be
tween the close cf the last school term
and the ooenlna of the next.
A quiet time this Is In many of the
schools and colleges. Class rooms are
Jserted. Dormitories are empty. No
one Is seen upon the campuses. Repairs
nd renovations and betterments are
twins; made preparatory to the time
when the students shall flock in again,
gathered from all points of the compass
for another year of Instruction. Teachers
and professors are away, too, some on
purely resting outings, at the seashore,
the mountains or in the country; some
also attending summer schools complet
trig their own educations or giving lec
tures at schools or chautauquas.
Question of the Homes
But while this is a quiet time In the
schools and colleges it is not a quiet
time in thousands of homes where live
the students that attend these institu
ilons of learning or that are preparing to
attend some institution of. learning.
It is a time of activity like that of a
political campaign. Now all the decid
ing must be done. Now the minds . of
the parents are open to conviction. Now
the daily subject of discussion is "What
college shall wo send John to?" or "What
school of these many recommended shall
Mary attend?"
So much depends on the decision of
this question that It is given much con
sideration and long study in most fam
:lics. Parents realise that upon the wise de
cision of this question the welfare of
their children may depend.
, It ia not merely a question of the "get
ting ' through" of the young man or
rounfe woman. It goes far beyond that.
It affects bis or her whole future well
being And may decide whether he or
she la to be a great success or whether
failure and discouragement Is to attend,
throughout all the years of life in the
world.
Responsibility on Parent.
Responsibility rests upon the parent
ond it is more than mere financial re
sponsibility. A decision In a financial
matter may be wise or unwise and. the
only loss is financial and that ia soon
forgotten.
But a decision In such a question if it
be unwise has cumulative results of evil.
And, on the other hand. If It be wise It
has equally cumulative results of good
and the student goes on from honor to
honor and hla life is a success.
Naturally and from the nature of the
nffatr It is utterly Impossible for each
parent to visit each and every school
separately. If this were possible even it
rotild not be possible to form a concrete
I lea of each school's qualifications aa a
1 lace of education for any given pros
pective student.
There are so many separate features
cf the school that must be taken Into the
consideration of the subject In "arriving
rt a wise decision. No person could
form an idea t,t nny one school without
remaining In It while it Is in active oper
ation for several weeks.
Polnla to Be Considered.
It . would be necessary to decide first
upon its scholastic attainments, upon the
thoroughness and conscientiousness of
its teaching, forces, upon the standard,
whether it be high or low, that Is re
quired of the student.
Then the moral tone of the Institution
is of hlgheet importance. It exerts a
subtle influence upon those who attend
and who are destined to spend four of
the most formative years of their lives
in an institution of learning, years when
the moral fibre Is in its most important
stage cf development, and when It will
form Itself with strength and resisting
power to evil if the examples upon which
It models Itself are good, and when, on
the other hand, it will become weak and
flabby If It Is formed In a weak and
flabby mold.
Educators today agree that more is due
to environment than to heredity. Heredity
both In diseases of the body and of the
mind and tout lias but a small part to
play. . Children of the worst possible an
cestry, taken at an early age, before
their habits and t antes have been formed
and plaod in good environment, become
our leading men and women.
Others of good ancestry, allowed to
grow up on the street and ut corner
' loafers, become mere weaklings.
Inssrtasu of Moral Tone.
8o the moral tone of tho college to
which the boy and girl are sent is of
an Importance second only to the im
portance of the educational tone. Sec
ondary, did we say? So some would hold.
But there Is ample ground for consider
ing It not secondary, but of primary im
portance. For. of what use Is a sounl
education If the moral fibre is not strong?
Mere book-learning Is not of supreme Im
portance. Neither la tho groat gain sc
oured from a college education. Home of
those who come through with flying col
ors and highest marks in their studies,
but who have neglected entirely tho col
lege life, the wholesome mingling with
their fellows In classes and in tho ac
tivities of college life, have degenerated
later to mere ciphers and bookworms, not
getting out of life anything near what
they ought to get and would get if they
iiad developed a sound moral fibre.
A third important part of the college to
L cbokun for lti prospective student is
the personal element, and this must be
carefully considered by parents.
Upon this Is founded the argument of
the small Colleges. Where the student
body Is small there Is, perhaps, more of
a tendency for the students to get Into
personal contact with the teachers. It Is
here that teachers and students get to
know eaoh other better, and the students
profit by the personal example of teach
ers and professors, they imbibe from
them their high Ideals of life and life's
work.
What the Professor May Do.
Through such contact wise and consci
entious professors can see Into the char
acter and tendencies of students. By words
and Ideas dropped Into that fallow soul
soil they are able to develop a character
of strength and to give It a firm founda
tion early In life, so that It has ample
opportunity and the best conditions for
full and complete development.
Many of our greatest men have come
from the small colleges, our three latest
presidents Princeton, Tale and Harvard
men to the contrary, notwithstanding.
The big colleges have their advantage,
too. They have the name; they have tho
equipment; often they are able through
superior resources to get profesors of
world-wide reputation. But the element
of personal contact Is lesi and the. stu
dent of certain characteristics often has
difficulty In adjusting himself and is apt
to remain In solitude throughout his
course. This Is tnue only of certain na
tures. Others thrive amid the big and
busy affair of the big and busy Institu
tion.
Another important factor is the moral
tone of the town or city in which the
school or college or university Is located.
The moral tone of the town Is sure to
have Its influence on thy growing stu
dent. If Us laws are lax and loose, and
if all sorts of evil Institutions and In
fluences are allowed to thrive and do
their evil work unchecked, the student
cannot fall to bo influenced to a great
extent by them.
How to Determine Answer.
These are four very Important feat
ures of every educational institution. And
In thousands of homes todsy they re
being studied by anxious parents and
their children In the effort to determine
what Institution shall be entrusted' with
the supremely Important work of mold
lng the child into the man or woman.
The only practical way of studying the
several institutions is by means of their
advertisements and their "literature,"
which they sent out. In a standard
newspaper like The Bee only the good
Institutions can secure advertising space.
The fact that an institution has its ad
vertisement In such a paper Is proof
that It is a reputable one morally and
scholastlcally.
Study of the peculiar advantages and
location of each institution from their
advertisements Is the efficient way of
going about the work of decision on some
particular one,
By this means those can be picked out
that have the fundamental qualities
which each Individual family demands
for its candidates for the higher educa
tional Institutions.
Then, for a more complete and Inti
mate and detailed study the "literature"
ot those selected can be secured. The
personnel of the faculty, the facilities for
board and room and the prices of the
same, the college buildings, the campus,
the, athletic, advantages, the nature of
the town or city in which it Is located
all these things can be studied out with
the greatest thoroughness and a final ile-
clslon can be arrived at intelligently and
safely.
Numerous Illustrations Incorporated

riving at a declslcn.
Now is Indeed the time of activity In
preparation for the coming college year.

l'RKMOVr (OM.Kf.K,
A School with lllah Idrals and
Plenty of Independent Spirit.
The Fremont college catalogue for the
coming year Is larger than ever, keeping
pace with the growth of this live Insti
tution. It has this to any In Its fore
word regarding its alms and Ideals:
"A school is a place to receive Infor
mation for the purpose of developing
mental power; for the ingrafting of good
habits; for the purpose of giving physical
ability and moral courage. The good
school must unite these essential factors
so aa to make the student the most use
ful to himself and to the community.
Education can be acquired at schools of
long-continued research, but that takes
time and money. We do not plead for
hot-house education or short-cut Intelli
gence, but do believe and endorse closer
supervision anri mental energy and the
elimination of the non-essentials, realis
ing that time and polished culture comes
after you leave the college walls. Hence,
it is this school's province to see that
you, as a pupil, are taught to save time.
to be economical and to have the power
and fore-sight to gather the kernels ot
truth as found In books, and to associate
these facts with the living truths about
you. Our duty Is to develop you by thor
ough, systematic teaching; your duty Is
to prepare yourself In the subject matter.
We are to find out through a process of
close questioning the trucness of our in
vestigation, to eliminate all error and
stimulate you to further mental activity.
"Our reserve fund is merit, good work,
economy of time, honest effort, perfect
development of true manhood and
womanhood and the elimination, through
scholasticism, of vice and all Us allies.
We have no time for frivolity, hating, or
useless expenditure of energy of any kind.
We realize that students enter, and par
ents send their children here to be in
structed, not only In books, but in the
broader and better cultured walks of life
courtesy, gentility, honest effort, true
industry, high motives, protection of
virtue and the legitimate rights of others.
Believing this responsibility to be Just
and right, we, as a school, utilize every
moment in advancing, promoting and cul
tivating the, highest and best attributes
In the human soul."
