CHANGELLOR UPHOLDS HIGH SCHOOL BOARD
Says Its Work Cleared up Befuddled Conditions in High School English
COLLEGES HAD TO START IT
No Uniformity in High School Curricu-
lum Until Universities Organez Courses.
The North Central Association of colleges and secondary schools at a recent meeting in Chicago started a revolt against what they call a domination of the nations, University "Trust" over the high schools of the country.
The Chicago Tribune prints almost an entire column about this revolt, in a recent issue. It seems from this story that the high schools are objecting to having their courses in English prescribed for them by the National Conference on uniform entrance requirements. They are also objecting to the Universities having a majority of one man over the representatives from the lower schools.
A WISE COURSE
"Several years ago," said Chancellor Strong when asked his opinion on the matter, "the courses in English in the high schools were in a very befuddled condition, and had no uniformity whatever. The board of English Requirements was then created so that the high schools could have uniformity in their English courses. It was certainly a wise course at that time, and it was necessary for the colleges to take the initiative in this matter. They are responsible for the great development of the English work in the high schools.
"This is not a matter of design on the part of the colleges, but a a continuation of an organization formed years ago when it was a necessity and it should remain until we have something better to take its place. I really do not think that all high

schools should be compelled to take the same courses in English however, and if they are now ready and capable to take this matter into their own hands, I doubt if the universities in general would object.
HIGH SCHOOLS ARE CAPABLE "It seems that this association is also objecting to Colleges having the control of this board," continued the Chancellor. "At present it consists of ten college professors, five prepatory school men, three from the public high schools, and one high school inspector. The Universities have a majority of one man. Personally, I would just as soon see the majority on the other side, for I feel that high schools are capable of taking the power, but it would be just as unfair for this committee to force upon colleges standards of work which they regard as insufficient, as for colleges to force on high schools courses which the high schools considers unadapted to their work"
