signs  of  increasing  alumni  interest  in  returning  for  Alumni 
Day.  The  class  secretaries  are  now  preparing  material  for 
their  classmates.  The  day  is  Saturday,  J u ne  22,  and,  if  you

KINDERGARTEN? 

COLLEGE  OR 
HOW  to  educate  a nd  why,  is  a  question  agitating  m a ny  of 

our  thinkers  these  days.  One  may  read  in  the  public 
prints  almost  anything  he  wants  to  about  mass  education, 
the  new 
co-education, 
freedom, 
learnedly  of 
the  new  education;  the  conservatives  say  it's  old  stuff  with 
new  names.

the 

Dean  Max  McConn  of  Lehigh  university, 

to  be 
gradually  winning  his  spurs  these  days  as  a  modern  critic 
of  university  education,  as  witness  his  magazine  articles,  and 
especially  a  new  book  he  has  written,  "College  or  Kindergar

Mr.  McConn,  as  he  observes  higher  education,  does  not 
sink  into  deep  despair.  He  takes  it  as  it  is,  then  proposes 
to  divide  all  colleges  a nd  universities 
three  general 
classes—the  real  colleges,  the  "superkindergartens"  or  "gen 
tlemen's"  colleges,  a nd  the  professional  schools.  The 
latter 
class  is  already  distinct  but  is  included  as  a  m a t t er  of  form.

The  "gentleman's"  college  or  superkindergarten  as  Mr. 
McConn  calls  it.  would  accommodate  t he  great  average  level

journal 

The  professional  schools  such  as  law,  medicine, 
ism,  a nd  t he  like  would  go  on  m u ch  as  they  do  now. 
Mr.  McConn  naturally  objects  to  one  educational 

institu 
tion  trying  to  serve  indiscriminately  in  general  classes  t he 
students  with  brains,  a nd 
the  students  of  no  particular 
premise,  but  unlike  some  critics  he  does  not  casually  consign 
t he  culls  to  oblivion.  He  recognizes  the  fact  t h at  they  form  a 
large  p a rt  of  t he  incoming  student  population  of  today,  t h at 
they  are  becoming  more  numerous,  if  anything,  a nd 
t h at 
they  will  have  to  be  taken  care  of  in  some  way.  Hence  his 
provision  for  t he  superkindergarten  colleges. 

Though  there  is  nothing  particularly  new  in  Mr.  McConn's 
general  views  on  education,  he 
takes  decidedly  advanced 
ground  when  he  proposes  to  set  aside  the  general  r un  of 
youngsters 
they  would  get 
just  what  they  came  for—a  good  time,  some  additional  so

cial  polish,  and  four  years  of  such  mild  learning  as 
are  able  to  take  in  without  too  much  trouble. 

in  "superkindergartens,"  where 

W h e t h er  any  college  or  university  would  be  willing  to  take 
this  feeble-minded  classification  or  whether  any 
parents 
would  be  willing  to  send  their  children  to  such  a  place  if 
they  knew  about  it  beforehand,  is  a  question.  On  t he  other 
hand, 
t he  "real  college"  classification  would  probably  be 
welcomed  by  m a ny  educational  institutions,  especially  those 
t h at  have  just  weathered  disastrous  football  seasons.

Mr.  McConn  naturally  objects  to  one  educational  institu 
tion  trying  to  serve  indiscriminately  in  general  classes  t he 
students  with  brains,  a nd 
t he  students  of  no  particular 
premise,  but  unlike  some  critics  he  does  not  casually  consign 
the  culls  to  oblivion.  He  recognizes  t he  fact  t h at  they  form  a 
large  p a rt  of  the  incoming  student  population  of  today,  t h at 
they  are  becoming  more  numerous,  if  anything,  a nd 
t h at 
they  will  have  to  be  taken  care  of  in  some  way.  Hence  his 
provision  for  t he  superkindergarten  colleges. 

Though  there  is  nothing  particularly  new  in  Mr.  McConn's 
general  views  on  education,  he 
takes  decidedly  advanced 
ground  when  he  proposes  to  set  aside  t he  general  r un  of 
youngsters

W h e t h er  any  college  or  university  would  be  willing  to  take 
this  feeble-minded  classification  or  whether  any 
parents 
would  be  willing  to  send  their  children  to  such  a  place  if 
they  knew  about  it  beforehand,  is  a  question.  On  t he  other 
hand, 
t he  "real  college"  classification  would  probably  be 
welcomed  by  m a ny  educational  institutions,  especially  those

president,  L.  H.  Dewey, 
member  of  the  association, 
called  on 
Mrs.  Gunson  to  tell  about  the  women's 
work  at  the  college.  President  Dewey, 
in  his  introductory  remarks,  said 
t h at 
there  were  only  two  girls  in  his  class, 
a nd  girls,  he  continued,  brought  pleas

Mrs.  Gunson  in  her  response  gave  not 
only  a  most  interesting  account  of  what 
also 
is  being  done  for  t he  girls,  but 
mentioned  the  many  services  performed 
the 
by  the  girls  themselves.  She  said 
girls  were  most 
in  having 
Miss  Elizabeth  Conrad  for  their  dean. 
A  survey  made  of  the  housing  condi 
tions  had  revealed  t h at  girls  were  liv 
ing  in  116  different  houses.  As  a  r e

the 
social  life  at  t he  college,  t he  religious 
life  and  social  service  work.  The  wom 
en  graduates  of  M.  S.  C.  are  engaged  in 
many  types  of  work  a nd  a  list  of  some 
twenty  names  were  read  revealing  t h at 
work  ranges  from  nursery  school  work 
to  t h at  of  an  artist  a nd  writer. 

President  Dewey  t h en  called  on  Mr. 
to  talk  on  "The  Changes  on 
Gunson 
the  Campus."  Mr.  G u n s on  said 
t h at 
he  was  aware  changes  h ad  taken  place, 
especially  when  Mr.  McPherson  of 
the 
class  of 
'74  told  him  how  the  campus 
looked  in  his  day.  Changes  in  the  so 
cial  life  were  mentioned  a nd  he  deplor 
ed  the  lack  of  t he  literary  meetings  and 
debating  societies.  Although  these  are 
wanting,  he  feels  the  College  is  drift 
ing  along  in  the  right  direction.  Sacri 
fices,  he  said,  are  being  m a de  to  send 
children  to  college  and  M.  S.  C.  is  still 
a  poor  man's  school.  Boys  have  an 
opportunity  to  e a rn  their  way,  but  it  is 
difficult  for  the  girls  to  do  so.

statistics  collected  on  the  S p a r t an  team

the  fact  he 
was  on  the  floor  in  a  defensive  posi

Zylen  of  G r a nd  Haven,  junior  forward, 
who  made  97  points. 

in 

Nearly  30  points  behind  in  third  place 
was  Fred  Den  Herder,  also  of  G r a nd 
Haven,  a  junior  forward,  with  a 
total 
of  68.  Next  to  Den  Herder  came  Don 
Grove  of  Sturgis,  junior  forward,  with 
58,  and  crowding  the  little  fellow  was 
his  brother,  Roger,  a  sophomore  guard, 
with  64.  Don  at  one  time  led  the  team 
in  scoring  until  a  mid-season  slump  cost 
him  his  place  at  the  top  of  the  heap.

Just  ahead  of  Vern  Dickeson  of  High 
land  Park, 
last 
year's  captain  a nd  high  scorer  with  100 
points,  was  Wayne  Scott  of  Fort  Wayne, 
Indiana,  sophomore  guard,  with  40. 
Dickeson  made  37  points  this  year.  Cap 
tain  Carl  Felt  of  Muskegon,  senior  cen 
ter,  only  played  in  part  of  eight  games 
but  managed  to  score  18  points. 

Haga,  who  nosed  out  Van  Zylen 

in 
the  scoring 
race,  averaged  only  6.43 
points  per  40  minutes.  The  remainder 
cf  the  first  string  averaged  about  five 
points  to  a  game,  indicating  the  per 
fect  balance  of  Coach  Van  Alstyne's  of 
fense. 

Haga  and  Den  Herder  earned 

the 
questionable  honors  of  making  the  most 
personal  fouls  during  the  season,  each 
making  24.  Van  Zylen  led  t he  list  in

Make  this Natural  Stone Ideal for  Interior 
and  Exterior  Use 

•""THERE is no other stone so well suited 
-*- for sculptured  detail  and  elaborately 
carved  interior  work,  as well  as for  ex 
teriors,  as Indiana  Limestone. This  hand' 
some, light'colored  natural  stone  has be' 
come  nationally  famous  as  a  building 
material. 

Modern production  methods now  used 
in  the stone industry bring Indiana Lime' 
stone within the reach of any  institution's 
building appropriation. There  is really  no 
need  of your  considering  any  less  desir 
able  material  on acco'unt  of expense. 

The  best  way  to  prove  this  to  your 
own  satisfaction  is  to get  an estimate on 
your  new  building's  cost  if  constructed 

of  Indiana  Limestone.  We  will  gladly 
give  you  this  information  without  obli' 
gating  you  in any  way.  Simply  put us in 
touch  with  your  architect.
