PRAISES QUALITY | OF MODERN YOUTH Dr. Hibben at Princeton U. Sees Students Growing More Mature. BY WALTER TRUMBUL.. Special Dispatch to The Star. PRINCETON, N. J, June 27 (NA. N.A.)-—“There is no doubt in my mind,” #aid Dr. John Grier Hibben, as he sat in a room of Prospect House, that Jovely home of Princeton presidents, “that youth today is more mature, more likely to form its own opinions, more willing to take responsibility. “The reason? Doubtless there are several contributing causes. One, here at Princeton, is that in the past decade ‘we have changed our form of educa- tion. Once undergraduates were re- quired to listen to lectures and take ex- aminations which tested their memories more than their reasoning powers. “Today we try to encourage think- ing,” continued Dr. Hibben. “Examina- tions no longer are confined to ques- tions of fact. We do not, for instance, | ask a youngster for the date of the bat- | v tle of Waterloo. Instead, we ask him to explain the significance of that bat- | tle. To obtain his degree, a student must write a thesis in some major sub- ject. We are less eager to cram his head with information than to teach him how to use his mind.” World Grows Smaller. “Of course, it is true,” he said. “Such tremendous advances in the speeding cp | of modern life m 1s brought right into their consciousness. They have grown up with so much that is new. “Eighteen years ago a graduate stu- dent came to Princeton from England. That student now is the head of our [Hgh 1 chemistry department. Recently he wrote a book on physical chemistry. He has told me that 60 per cent of the knowledge it contains dates back no far- ther than his residence here. “The war seems so vivid to me,” said Dr. Hibben, “that it was a shock when we had some freshmen at dinner to find that they did not remember it at all. Yet the war had a great influence on education. After it came what has been | called ‘the freshman flood.’ “There were several million men in camp,” continued Dr. Hibben. “From these selections were made of soldiers | to be sent to officers’ school. The ma- | jority of those thus chosen were col- lege men. This made an impression on the others. One of them once said to me: ‘I found that I could not compete on even terms with those better edu- cated than I was. I have determined that my younger brothers shall go to college” The war left men with an eagerness to learn. Depression Improves Work. “Even the depression, which must | have made it impossible for many boys to go to college, does not seem greatly to have affected us. “Another reason 1 say present-day students are more mature,” Dr. Hibben went on, “is the attitude they take| toward the depression. It seems to have caused them to take their college work more seriously. They appear to Tealize that it may require effort and sacrifice, under present conditions, to keep them at college and to have de- termined that they will do their part.” Dr. Hibben believes the world has speeded up mentally, as well as in other make their impres- | slon upon youngsf®rs.

LURAY, Va., June 27.—Quails in | Page County are feeding their young cherries, throwing them down from the trees. Several instances have been reported to Game Warden Victor Renalds and W. S.
