P AGE TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY UNIDAY, APRIL 28, 1929, -m PROBLEMS PRESENTED, AT TEACERS ESSIsON ARTHUR FIELD, GRAD., OUT- LINES PUBLIC SCHOOL COURSES O6IWRAPHY IS LACKING 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.
