COLLEGES STRESS QUALITY QUTPUT Cooper Says Slackening in Rush of Students Makes Possible Better Work. Amcrlmn’lnst‘lnwm:' of hl:l:;r learn- ing are getting ion ma to En.prnve the quality of their output through refinement of instructional pro- cedures and more effective utilization of material facilities, as a result of the slackening in the rush of students to colleges’ and universities, Willlam J. Cooper, Commissioner of Education, ys in his annual report to tha Secre- “With some of the pressure bers removed and with a continued in crease’ in:financial support, more stress | may now be put by the higher inst¥u- tions on quality of output,” Dr. Cooper declares. Mr. Cooper reports that high schools, “feeders” of the colleges universi- ties, have shown a slower rate of in- crease in enrollments in the last three or. four years, with the result that the rush to atfend the nigher institutions which brought tremendous increases in enroliménts in colleges just after the war, seems to have passed the high tide. U. S. Figures Lead World. He cites the estimate of the Associa- tion of American Universities that the increase in enrollments in institutions of higher learning in the last year has been only 2 per cent, the smallest fig- ure since the war. Collegiate enroliments, howsver, are far higher in the United States, in pro- portion to population, than in any other country in the world, Cooper states. He sees, however, the lowering of the birth rate in this country as one of the fac- tors in the slackening off of the in- ereasc in school and college enroliments. * “It is possible, but by no means cer- tain,” he declares, “that a period of stabilization in college growth is near at_hand.” ‘The commissioner reports that much attention is being paid by educators to the visual method of instruction. He sees the popularity and educational ?osflblliflu of the motion picture as a actor in this development, but adds that all sorts of media of visual in- struction are being used in the schools, including graphs, stereographs and stereopticon slides. He also sees radio coming into popularity as a medium for the im- parting of learning. Broadcasts for | | E. CHESTER ADAMS. —Edmonston Photo. “Y” LAW CLASS ELECTS. E.
