A Look Forward The value of an educational institution depends on the greatness of the idea which it embodies. A vocational college gives a large share of its time to laboratory work and normal practice, but such a curriculum of activities is designed to mould the mind of the student and to furnish the impressions which will illuminate the work of the class room and give a mental basis for formulating general principles and judgments. The work of a college is in the realm of ideas. “There is no impression without expression,” but the activities of student life should be so supervised and graded as to contribute to the highest growth of personality and they should be so directed as to fit a man for greater service. These aims have been worked out in a remarkable way in the four-year curriculum at Springfield. The first course to be put on a four-year basis was the one for training men for county work. By an arrangement with the Massa- chusetts Agricultural College at Amherst the junior year of this course is taken at that institution. It has been found that this plan makes the men rural minded and fits them for dealing with boys and young men under rural conditions. In carrying out the four-year program it will be necessary next year to add to the faculty in physical education an instructor in physiological chemistry. The new work undertaken the past year by Prof. Stacy B. Betzler in medical gymnastics has proved a great advance. This department has secured addi- tional equipment and has rendered valuable service to a number of persons in removing the after effects of poliomyelitis. Mr. Betzler has also organized the physical training for the Secretarial men in a satisfactory manner. The work in biology taken by all the students given by Prof. Donnell B. Young is proving of great advantage in laying the foundation both for scientific method and for scientific thinking. The same can be said tor Professor Affleck ' s new courses in nature study. I hese are designed especially for workers among boys, but they are taken by all the students at the College and fit the men for outdoor usefulness. Professor Affleck has also enlarged his course in camp craft. In the Secretarial course an important matter is under consideration. The new plan for the four-year course provides for a year ' s training in modern business administration. It is proposed that the winter term ' s work for the Secretarial Juniors be conducted in New York City, covering a period of about three months. 1 he men would be under the supervision of the instructor in business administra-

tion. Two periods daily would be given by him on this subject. The rest of the time would lie devoted to the study of methods of work in the Young Men’s Christian Association, using for this instruction the expert leaders, international, state, and local, who make their headquarters in greater New York. The recitations would be held in the class rooms of one of the Associations. The plan would involve the men living together in some dormitory. By such a New York connection it is believed that the work of the Secretarial course would be greatly strengthened. Courses of training for army Association work have been inaugurated for the College. These will be offered not only to the students now enrolled, but to visiting students who wish to prepare for this form of service. During the past year ten acres of land to the north of Pratt Field have been purchased at a cost of $16,000. It is proposed that a considerable part of this will be used for an additional athletic field, the remainder for faculty homes. The securing ot this property will release land in the center of the campus for building purposes. The past year there have been over 250 students enrolled. It has been an aggressive and inspiring year. The College has never been conducted under more earnest conditions than during the last twelve months. The outlook for the future was never more encouraging. The College needs a large endowment. It needs additional buildings and equipment. With these provided, it will have an enrollment of 350 to 400 students fitting for Christian work among boys and young men in all parts of the world. 8
