Daylight lasing time as a possibility in State Col lege is demising at least of serious and thoughtful con saimation. It is probable that this decice, so popular urban communities, has noel been thoroughly inves tigated with ieference to its possible adoption here; with the incentive lacking, thole Ma, no reason for advancing the beginning of the day one hour during the summer months, (loin Aim] to eaily October.

In many instances these courses ale offered in un attempt to keep abreast with i nal institutions Such action is unjustified unless tl,c institution is folly equipped with a faculty capable of picuiding efficient instiuction in the courses At mesent theme die too many colleges foolishly trying to c,mpete o iii lingei and licho institutions and in so doing distoiting the ti or salon of the course esident Cates, of the University of Pennsylvania, voiced the sentiment of many of the leading educators v,hen he i °commended a simplification of the courses altered in the catalogs of average American colleges. It was the opinion of Di Cates that the modern colleges end uniscisities weie failing to fulfill their original pur pose.. and that a retain to the comparatively simple cam, of insti action offered in In inee years might be a solution to a plot lens which is growing more and more compliN The high mortality among college students is to ~ ome degree a result of the failure of men and women to adjust themselves to suitable courses.

TIE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN 120 TRANSFER TO OTHER CURRICULA (Continued front front flint page) Dean Charles W. Stoddart says, "Stu-, dents come here with the lure of the technical school in then minds, but hod that they are unfitted for that 'and of training Mathematics, chem istry, and physics are usually the downfall for most of these students. A magnify of the transfers to the Liberal, Arts School make good, and benefit by the change." Dean Robert L. Sackett, head of the School of Engineering, which lost the most students, smiles a lack of infor mation which would give a more ac curate understanding of the aptitudes required for engineering. "With ex ceptions, vocational guidance in the high schools is not very effective. Af ter a student enters Penn State, the observation of him, and information gisen him, are quite valuable in help ing him to find his opportunity," said Dean Sackett she bruises easily - - . Explaining the reasons for the large number of changes from the Chemis try and Physics School, Dean Frank C Whitmore stated, "The chief rea son is that in many high schools chem istry is made ver} interesting and exciting, with the result that many men have the idea that they want to be chemists When they come to college they really have to start in I and learn chemistry, which is very different, and not at all like high school work." Dean Steidle Cites Mis[its Interpreting the general tendency of the transfer figures which reveal a smaller number of changes to and from the School of Agriculture than m previous years, Dean Ralph L. Watts stated, "1 think it shows that students are being better counselled No dean wants students to enroll in his school for the first year or two when they expect to take most of their work in another school" Dean Edward Steidle, of the School of Mineral Industries, cites misfits in technical courses and students pre ferring another course as the pun. copal types of transfers. He con cluded by saying, "The School of Min eral Industries is atti acting more and better students who are especially in terested in the basic primary mineral industries " STAFF, SPEAKERS NAMED FOR FRENCH INSTITUTE Summer SeSSIM.
