"It is really quite remarkable that for so long a period the chief energies of education have been directed to- wards amplification and refinement of methods of scholastic examination alone. This is all the more surprising when we realize that the term "ex- amination" is here applied in its nar- rower sense to include only those tests which aim to record the degree of proficiency possessed by the can- didate in some one subject or narrow field of knowledge. A real and last- ing education cannot be obtained by an individual whose character and personality are not worth educating," the report states. Defines EducationI The President states further that education involves concentration, im- agination, seriousness of purpose, in- dustriousness, courage and a number of other qualities of character. "For some reason this phase of a person's fitness for college has been clearly neglected. It is very unlikely that a method can be devised which will give us entirely reliable information con- cerning a candidate before that can- didate is admitted. We can, however, look forward to the detection of some who by lack of maturity or other de- fects of character are clearly unfitted cr ae tra , and by friendly a vice to and cooperation with par- ents either dissuade the candidate from entering or postpone that event until he has made a better prepara- tion." On the question of the revision of the curriculum of women students in the University, Dr. Little states,, "there is no question whatever that physical, physiological and psycholo g. ical differences exist between men and women. If men had developed a civ- ilization in which their behavior, edu- cation, and ideals were perfect or -even clearly superior to those obtain- ing for women it might follow that. women were justified in imitating with great zeal and precision the ac- tivities of men. The sad fact is that they have been engaged in imitation rather than in the development of a system of higher education peculiarly fitted to their own needs. No matter how emancipated women may become some of them will have to continue to be the mothers of the next genera- tion." Mentions Special Curriculum President Little believes that for the girls wIlo enter college with no clear conception of their occupation, information concerning production, nature, care and education of children is of prime importance, either directly as mothers, or indirectly as intelligent voting citizens qualified to assume leadership in shaping public opinion and legislation in these matters, or in both ways. In connection with this belief, he recommends a definite cur- r .cul am. . In this curriculum are principles of natural science, structure and func- t:on of the human body, elementary care of the sick and several other relative subjects. Regarding the housing conditions for students, the report makes this observation, "The existing conditions are only partly satisfactory. The so- cial life and chances for forming real and abidin friendships in the frater- nities, sororities, and dormitories are jISl.L ES 1NIFS TTDiTlNFOITINRATY TRNI RASE'SLVRINES TO MEET CPNsTs)N MANYIBE-EADINGS' (By Associated Press) 1T NT D S AT SOe( oiated Prss) pC ICAGO FIVE TONIGHT1 WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Only I one o the recalcitrant witnesses 1A E O E E Y DA 'I RTC L o T S ofrhiesryoinvestigationtavailedgiv y the SIllois and Pennsylvania reached 103,000 in this city today, de- I prhmary investigation availed spite the beheading of some 30 agita- himself today of the opportunity I E OBOKATAKB os AETODTRIECACs CLIBERAL FORCES SEEN The beheading was done by soldiers OF M ICIAN REGAINING Funds committee to escape IN NEW PROPOSAL with heavy swords who decapitated BIG TEN TITLE prosecution for contempt. radicals wherever they were found i,- Samuel Insul, pbi utilitiesr disi buting lit rature or making: operatr-of Chicago, who testified NOTE IS KEPT SECRET se"eches to incite men to strike or MATHER IS CONFIDENT to total contributions of $237,- - - SECRT riot. 925 to about all the sections in Proteclion From Internal And Exter- ' sdrx t rst arons 1aie Defeated Indiana, Who( thtlioi otstadhine- ial Attack Understood As Fur- TesldeIxeuineswrete resHen feae nina the Illinois contests, and his per- nmen of Marshal Sun Huan Chang who Is Present Leader Of Conference sonal counsel, Samuel .
