A—10 = ADULT EDUCATION ENCIRCLES BRITAIN INiteracy Virtually Gone as| Result, Coliege Meeting Is Told. The story of the system of univer- sal adult education that penetrates from London throughout Great Britain, and even to sailors at sea, was brought today to the annual meeting of the Association of American Col- leges by Dr. Albert Mansbridge, C. H., one of England's foremost educa- tional leaders. Dr. Mansbridge, 61, one of only 30 men in the British empire honored ‘with membership in the Order of the Companionship of Honor, a recogni- tion for public service that ranks above knighthood, will speak on “The Col- leges of Oxford and Cambridge” at the association’s annual dinner tonight at the Mayflower Hotel. ‘The two-day meeting that con- vened this morning brought to Wash- ington more than 500 college presi- dents, deans and other officials from virtually every State in the country. *“Contributions to Liberal Education in the College” is the theme of the as- sociation sessions. Dr. Conant to Speak. Speaking tonight on the same pro- gram with Dr. Mansbridge will be President James <Bryant Conant of Harvard University. Dr. Conant’s subject will be “The American Col- lege.” Dr. Mansbridge, in an interview to- day, discussed the English adult educa- | tion system in which he has played so prominent a part. He is president of the World Association for Adult Educa- tion, chairman of the National Central Library of England, president of the Seafarers’ Education Service and the British Institute of Adult Education, founder of the Workers’ Educational Association and member of the Royal Commission on the Universities of Ox- ford and Cambridge, among others. “Adult education,” he said, “is an essential part of the work of Oxford and Cambridge. Classes all over the British Isles are aided financially by the Board of Education (government agency). One of the features of the system is that adult students study what they want to study.” If their home library does not have a book | they desire to study the book is se- cured from the National Central Library. Adult education in England has vir- | tually eliminated the problem of il- literacy, Dr. Mansbridge asserted. L Speakers at this morning’s session | were Prof. William E.

The college has to co-op- erate with those processes which na- ture has already begun to work in him during later adolescence, to stir up in him the sense of difference and to make him a critic of what he has received. “The first business of the college,” he continued, “is to equip the man for free individual thought, whatever his fleld of interest may be, and this equipment is philosophy. “Philosophy is the completion of the process of individual birth. * * * So far, then, from philosophy being one of the subjects for election, we may say that the business of election is not safe, nor even significant, with- out philosophy.” Annual Reports Delivered. Annual reports were delivered this morning by James R. McCain, head of Agnes Scott College, Decatur, Ga., president of the association; Dr. Robert L. Kelly, executive secretary, and LeRoy E. Kimball, controller of New York University, treasurer. Pres- ident Mordecai Johnson of Howard University gave the invocation. Speakers resuming discussion of the theme at the afternoon session were Prof. Harry N. Holmes of Oberlin Col- | lege, Ohio, and Prof. A. J. Carlson of the University of Chicago, speaking for the physical and biological sciences, | respectively, and President Harold G. | Moulton of the Brookings Institution | for the social sciences.
