Subject Has "Squeezed By" in Cur-
ricula Of Preparatory Schools
In British Isles
"Up to the present time Geog-
raphy in the Public schools of Eng-
land has just squeezed by," was
the characterisation of the teach-
ig of the subject made to the
Geography teachers of the state
yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock in
223 Angell hall by Arthur Field,
Gad., who is associated with the
Geography department of the Uni-
Versity on a Riggs fellowship.
In the course of his short talk
on the subject Field outlined the
educational system of England as
consisting of the Elementary, Sec-
ondary, and Public schools. These
last two are practically the same,
and the last of them is more or less
identical with the college prepara-
tory schools of this country. The
Public schools, which are not at all
public, prepare especially for the1
great universities of . Oxford and;
Cambridge.
Some 60 years ago, said Fields,
Geography was not a subject at
all; it was a mere catalogue of
names. The first thing that was
taught was a list of the rivers along
the English coastline, and after
that came more lists of names. If
the student could say these back-
wards and forwards, he knew his
geography, and that was all there
was to it.
Then several years ago the Royal
Geographic Society investigated
the situation and discovered that,
whereas continental uni'versities
had professors in the subject,
neither Oxford nor Cambridge had
even considered such a person.
When they tried to have a course
irstalled, their efforts met with
complete failure. This was due to
the fact that the Public schools of-
fered scholarships in the classical
subjects but neglected the sciences.
Finally, however, they were able
to influence the Public schools in
such a way that they began to
stress Geography as a course, and,
as the result of a second petition,
there is to be one scholarship
awarded in this subject in the High
Certificate exaninations.
ALUMNI MOVE TO PROTECT SENIORS
FROM HANDS OF WILY EMPLOYERS
No longer will the deceiving busi-
ness man be able to inveigle the
Michigan senior into a job under,
false pretenses, no longer will thel
graduate be prevailed upon be-f
cause of his lack of knowledge of
employment conditions-at least it
is hoped that this will be true with
the creation of personnel secre-
taries in 50 cities throughout the
country where University of Mich-
igan clubs flourish.4
In marked contrast
tions in the past when
mention of "jobs for
graduates" caused cold
to condi-a
the mere
Michigan
chills to
traverse the spine of the secretary
of the alumni club, it now seems
highly probable that the organiza-
tion which is being set up will soon
be able 'to actually provide posi-
tions in addition to the numerous
compilations of statistics which1
they are already able to provide.
The well-oiled machinery is being
modelled after specifications sug-
gested by the National Alumni,
Committee on Placement headed{
by Frederic W. Willard, '06, of NewI
York City. This committee made
its first report at the second Alum-
ni Triennial in Chicago last May.
The University, through its vari-
ous placement bureaus, is coper-
ating with the alumni in the build-
ing up of this organization and the
contact between the two groups
will be made through Willard E.
Parker, '23, Executive Secretary of
the University Committee on Voca-
tional Guidance and Placement un-
til further arrangements are com-
pleted.
Information relative to employ-
ment conditions or firms in this
city which are seeking Michigan
men are two of the principal duties
which the Personnel secretary will
be expected to fulfill. His other
important task at the present time
will be to welcome new graduatesi
arriving in his district and to, pro-I
vide them with proper social and
business introductions and aid them
in any way in which they may
need help to become well establish-
ed in the community. Of the fifty
secretaries already appointed many
are and have been officers of Uni-
yersity of Michigan clubs and of
the General Alumni association,
