Professor Goddard spoke at the ban- quet which followed initiation of eight men into the society at the annual fall initiation. He is recognized as one of the foremost authorities on the subject of feeblemindedness in the country today, having for many years, before accepting his present post, con- duted investigations at a bureau of research on the question at Vineland. N. J. Eight Initiated The banquet was preceded by initia- tion in the afternoon. At that time Carl Mayer, grad., who is teaching in Flint; E. J.

Metcalf, grad., superintendent of Dundee schools; James Bergman, grad., instructor at DetroIt Teacher's college;Clair C.

Effinger, Prof. Thomas Trueblood of the public speak- ing department, and Prof. H. A. Sand- ers of 'the Latin department. Professor Goddard in a speech punc- tuated with humor, characterized the system of compulsory education now in vogue by the proverb "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink." Compalso'ey .ITeaehing Unwise "The fault with the present sys- tem," said the speaker, "is that it has tried to compel children to learn who could not learn. This is done 'under the faulty doctrine that all men are born equal." He further pointed out that: "For every college student in the United States there is an idiot; for every per- son who is capable of doing college work, there are two who are not; for every high school student, there are two who can not do that work." Ten pnrcnntof, the children in school, Professor Goddard maintains from in-~ 1 inscannot get .throughthem ' i ryteP.-ad '70 per cent canot graduate from high school.
