Approximately three years ago a plan was adopted by Johns Hopkins University by which the students were permitted to enter the graduate schools at the end of their sophomore year rather than requiring the regular four year college course. The object of this innovation was to give the advanced student more time to devote to his particular field, thus acquiring greater efficiency. Now, at the end of three years, a report on the system declares that all of the men working under it are doing well. From the point of view of modern education, however, this project is at fault...

The preparatory education that the average person has before coming to college usually consists of just sufficient elementary knowledge to satisfy entrance requirements.

But not Mr. Edison. Always he takes the short cut and across the concrete he walked. It was soft. His shoes sank into it. Consternation came upon his face, then stubbornness. He plodded ahead leaving a string of footprints behind. Mr. Ford was delighted and said something flattering about "the sands of time." He gave orders that the footprints be allowed to harden, furthermore, he made...
