Announcement of President Conant's so called extra-curricular program for study of United States history carries with it more significance than first meets the eye. With one of its aims being to destroy the belief that, in order to acquire a broad education, one must attend a college or university, the plan is indeed a decisive step. Aside from this purpose, the plan is intended to provide a ground of common knowledge on which all who participate will be able to meet and discuss the subject intelligently.
