...require every student to concentrate in some field and avoid the dissipation of energy in the elementary study of a large number of unrelated subjects. Concentration necessitates the performance of a certain amount of advanced work, which is of greater advantage in developing mental power than a much larger amount of elementary work, which often consists merely in the acquisition of information, and does not necessitate any connected thought or analysis. It would seem, therefore, that the elective system were a success in forcing students to do more difficult and more beneficial work, but an administrative difficulty presents itself...
