/ B ENROLLNENT ATHARLAND | Largest Freshman Class in History Expected This Year. Special Dispateh to The Star. COLLEGE PARK. Md.. September 8. ~When the University of Maryland opens for the 1928-9 term. the returning students will find “the old place” some- what changed. Concrete driveways and walks about the campus have been completed, and i~ scheme of Jandscaping also has been about finished, with the shrub- bery and other ornamentals that were pianted in the Spring beginning to reach a stage that demonstrates the effectiveness of the well devised plan. While the work already has improved the apearance of the campus, it will be another year or two before the effect of the plan will be anywhere near fully realized. Start on Library. Work on the new library, for which an appropriation vf $225,000 was made at the last session of the State Legis- lature. is due to begin this Fall, and alterations will be made in the fronts of the administration and engineering buildings in the near future. Now that the: new chemistry build- ing is in use, it is planned to remodel the old chemistry structure for the use of the Home Economics College. It will include a rest room for the co-eds. While the improvements are going on at College Park, the professional schools in Baltimore also will share in the pro- | gram of advancement. A long-needed | dental and pharmaceutical laboratory will be built on the northwest corner of Lombard and Greene streets, directly | #cross the street from the university hospital. This building will cost close | to a half million dollars and will pro- | vide the university with one of the | finest and most complete laboratories in | the country. It will be ready for occu- pancy late next Spring. Indications are that the largest fresh- man class ever to enroll in the College Park schools—agriculture, arts and sciences, education, engineering, and | home economics—will matriculate this year. It is probable that the class will be in excess of 400. Enrollmens at the professional schools in Baltimore also will tax the facilities. More than 600 applicants already have been refused admission to the medical school alone. | Stummer school at College Park also |3 YOUNg man who, it so happened, shar- | thre> had a record enrollment, nearly 600 | being in attendance. | September 24 and 25 will be given | over to freshman registration.

BALLOU VIEWS SCHOOL SYSTEM AS LADDER TO CHANCES (Continued from First Page.) | educational work in higher institutions | of learning. Since the job specifications of young people who enter gainful occupations in commerce and industry have never| been definitely defined, a suitable edu- | caticnal program for boys and girls who | plan to leave school early is exceedingly | difficult to determine. There are many factors to be considered. A given trade | or occupation can absorb only a lim- ited number of persons, and the schools should not produce an over-supply ot employes for any occupation. The great diversity of occupations for which the schools may legitimately prepare neces- sitates the dividing of pupils into a| large number of groups, each with its specialized training. Moreover, voca- tional or trade instruction necessitates cost for commercial and industrial :rainin& as a rule, over academic train- ing. ‘The difficulties of organizing and car- rying on pre-vocational and vocational entering gainful occupations has not de- terred the more courageous school sy a program. The junior and senior high schools of Washington aim to offer equal educa- tional opportunities for boys and girls to pursue those educational programs which are aimed to prepare for further education or for leaving school. Supple- menting the vocational instruction of- fered in the junior and senior high schools, the trade schools for boys and girls offer additional or more intensive training along vocational lines. ' In the junior and senior high schools and the trade schools of Washington boys may find courses in automobile painting, auto tion, plumbing, shoe repairing, sheet metal work and printing; and the girls may find courses in homemaking, cafe- teria work, millinery and dressmaking. ‘The educational ladder up which the boys and girls climb must always be kept open for pupils with ambition ana ability. If a pupil finds that he has se- lected the wrong educational program, it must always be possible for that pu- pil to change his educational objective with a minimum of lost effort. There must ‘be no blind alleys in our educa- tional system. Every program of in- struction should lead toward a worthy educational objective. Equal opportu- nity is a fundamental principle of Amer- ican democracy. That principle is rec- ognized in the organization and opera- tion of every progressive public schooi system. Indeed, the public school sys- tem is the chief cornerstone of democ- racy itself and must recognize and ex- | undergraduate major courses in all de- i partments, including science, art and foresees a substantial increase in enroll- | | have been appointed.
