Isom Reported Improved
From Injuries of Fall
John Isom, Howard sophmore, who
was Injured in the early Summer when
he fell from * second-story window
of the boy’s, dormitory, is reported
greatly Improved.
He is able to walk with the aid of
a cane and has gone to his home at
Holly Pond to spend the remainder of
the Summer vacation. He plans to
return to Howard this Fall.
"Colleges must broaden their
straight and narrow path of entrance
if they expect to serve effectively In
the development of citizens," said Reg¬
istrar Oscar S. Causey, of Howard,
speaking at the annual meeting of the
Association of High School Principals
in Montgomery on "Relation of Schol¬
astic Success In College To The High
School Curriculum."
Mr. Causey continued. "The prop¬
erly developed curriculum in the bands
of well trained educators must de¬
velop a better trained citizen. Edu¬
cation has been trailing in the de¬
velopment of American civilization."
Based on a study of 931 college stu¬
dents who did all or part of their wCTt
In 28 colleges, technical schools, nor¬
mal Bchoole and universities, 260 of
whom did not receive a degree, Mr.
Causey saye that the present system
of admitting students to colleges is
only 21 per cent to 25 per cent ef¬
ficient. and that this does not mean
entrance requirements should be low¬
ered, but that they should be broad¬
ened, and that conditions should be
changed as speedily^ae possible to al¬
low high echool principals to spend
all their working time in supervising
the training of citizens rather than
so much fitting studengB Into college
preparatory courses.
"We are now In the transition peri¬
od in education somewhere between
the economic and social stage but In
neither. If education is to justify it¬
self— if it le to justify the mlllfone of
dollars spent in it — If it is to maid-
tain its present public Interest that
causes one person in every four In the
country to be connected with educa¬
tion either as an employe or as stu¬
dent It must e top following and begin
to blaze the trail that leads to the new
social order,” Mr. Causey concluded.
