Documents On Maumee Valley
Featured In Clements Library

Lovers of history are urged to visit
the Clements Library this week dur-
ing theial e as of the exhibitin
Years-1763-1813.''
The collection of old maps and
documents was put on display fol-
lowing the Maumee Valley Interna-
tional Historical Convention.
For centuries an important con-
necting link between the St. Law-
rence and the Mississippi, the Mau-
mee valley, with~ its portages to the
Wabash and St. Joseph Rivers, boasts
a colorful history. It is of the peri-
od between the signing of the treaty
in 1763, in which France gave the
region to Britain, until it definitely
became a part of the United States
in 1813, that the collection fereats.-
One of the most pertinent pieces is
a map of the territory, drawn by
Thomas Hutchins and published in
London in 1778. On the lakes are
printed their probable sizes and facts
regarding shipping and fishing possi-
bilities. On Lake Michigan, for in-
stance, are to be found fish weighing
(roni 20 to 60 pounds, whereas at

Michilimackinac catches have been
"eported in which fish weigh up to
the country, too, areo laeed with
their principal agricultural products.
With regards to transportation
facilities, Hutchins has carefully
marked both named and unnamed
creeks and rivers, the former with
alternative titles and the latter with
their respective widths, Portages are
designated with their length and Hut-
chins has emphasized the principal
roads, such as the "Road from St.
Joseph to Detroit."'
It is of interest to note how many
of the old forts have grown into
cities, and how the names of various
places have changed in the century
and a half following the printing of
the map.
Other papers in the exhibition re-
late to the activities of General Josi-
ah Harmar, General Arthur St. Clair,
first governor of the "territory north-
west of the Ohio River," General An-
thony Wayne and others who worked
to hold the United States frontiers
for the growing country.

Study Reveals
New Education
Is Successful
By ROSEBUD SCOTT
Subjects taken in high school do
nqt have a predictive value for scho-
lastic success or failure in college
is the finding confirmed by the wide I
scale survey of the famous Pro-
gressive Education Association's f a-
mous "Eight-Year Study" which was
drafted recently, Dr. Willard C. 01-
son of the School of Education corn'
mented in an interview yesterday.

Post Graduate
En oineer Work
To Be Started
Pending final analysis of the suc-
cess of a pilot project now being con-
cluded in Kalamazoo, a series of post-
graduate courses for engineers will
he organized with University cooper-
ition by the Michigan Engineering
Society. Prof. R. H. Sherlock of the
civil engineering department an-
nounced yesterday.
The plan bears the general title
"Post-Graduate Engineering Study,"
and was inaugurated by the Society,
which received the idea from a speech
by Vice-President James D. Bruce at
a meeting two years ago.
Professor Sherlock is the chairman
of the University committee which is
cooperating with the Society in this
wvork.
"Work has already started on a
theme for the next series," Professor
Sherlock reported, "and there seems
no question but what the course will
be continued in five or six other Mich-
igan cities next semester."
Prof. C. B. Gordy of the mechani-
cal engineering departnient organ-
ized the series now being presented
in Kalamazoo, entitled "How to Ob-
tain High Level Performance in In-
dustrial Operations."

Foundations was based on students
graduating from 30 selected progress-
ive schools throughout the country.
These st'udents were paired with re-
spect to race, age, intelligence, inter-
ests, and the family background. The
progress of each was checked after
entrance without reuqirement in col-
leges participating in the plan.
Little Difference -
The fact that there was little or
no difference between students of
progessie and convetional schools
should give greater freedom to high
school curricula and college entrance,
he pointed out.
The findings of the survey showed
that students coming from the most
progressive schools did the best in
college. A group of 46 who deliber-
ately avoided the study of mathe-
matics in hNgh school surpassed their
classmates in every college subject
including mathematics.
This report should encourage con-
structive innovations which attempt
to increase the functional value of
high school, Dr. Olson emphasized.
Since specified subjects have been
shown unnecessary to college prep-
aration, small high schools, with the
abolition of strict college .entrance
reuirements can abandon theirrregi-
destination of the student Dr. Olo
inaintained.
Ask Simpler Requirements
If the recommendations of the
study commission for substitution of
simpler entrance requireinents is
adopted, there will be a larger mea-
sure of emphasis on what a person
can do rather than what he has had,
he maintained.
The survey also revealed that stu-
dents from progressive schools took
a more active interest in politics and
art, talked more, listened to more
speeches and music, and read more
books. If students were accurately
paired, this would bear out the con-
clusion thiat students of the selected
high schools had a wider cultural
base than those from high schools
with a traditional curriculum.
