It was at Pikesville that the second battalion was formed and gained its preliminary training prior to going in training at Camp McClellan from where it later made its journey to New York and then to Baltimore from whence.it sailed to France. ‘The first battalion of the wartime regiment was made up of troops from the District of Columbia. i Dedicate Gateway. | 5 A feautre of the reunion was the dedication of a memorial gateway to the Pikesville Armory to commemorate the founders and members of the regi- ment in the World War. - The dedica- tory address. was delivered by Gov.

NEW YORK, July 13.—A critical his- tory of world literature, compiled from 100,000 words of notes taken in the twelfth grade at the Lincoln School, Columbia University, where 15-year-old students in the experimental courses have read and discussed everything from Homer to Shakespeare, will be published by Dr. Benjamin Stolper, pro- fessor of education at Teachers’ Col- lege, Columbia, it was learned yesterday. Dr. Stolper, who also is an instructor in English in the Lincoln School, said the puplils. in his classes had read mas- ternieces usually undertaken only in college courses in an experiment to prove whether or not the intelligence of the 15-year-old can appreciate liter- ature of this type. Class Discussions Recorded. Stolper seldom lectured to his classe allowing his pupils to ecriticize and comment freely upon their reading. During the class discussions two sec- retaries took notes of what was said and these were checked and filed. volume, which will be published in the Fall, will contain the unedited verdict of the children upon the works of Homer, Confuclus, Virgil, © Terence, Sophocles, Euripides and a score of others. Among the volumes which have been read in the twelfth grade at Lincoln School are the Old and New Testa- ments, the “Analects of Confucius,” the comedies of Terence, Plautus and Aris- tophanes, the Koran, the tragedies of T “Commentaries.” Code of Ham- murabl,” Ovid, Virgil, the “Cid” and the works of Cicero.

A ‘similar project has been impossible previously because educators never have accredited high school stu- dents with intelligerce mature enough to understand anything more profound than Shakespeare, “We send our high school seniors to college,” Prof. Stolper said, “with a fair knowledge of Shakespeare and James Russell Lowell and expect them as freshmen to be able to appreciate Homer and Sophocles and the others who really count. There is not a great deal of difference between the high school senior and the college freshman. The mere fact that he has entered col- lege does not mysteriously increase the senlor’s intelligence and understanding.

Prof. Stolper ascribed the failure of students to benefit from their college education to the sudden change from the senlor year at high school to the first vear at college, which leaves the freshman confused. The experiment in the English classes at the Lincoln School is an attempt to put into_prac- tice in_the fleld of high school litera- ture what eventually may be tried in other courses of study. ‘The Lincoln Bchool is the experimen- tal school 8f Teachers’ College, Colum- bia University.
