"BY BOOK AND LIFE"

Antioch College is an institution which Dr. Charles Eliot has called "the most interesting and perhaps the most important experiment now going on in the field of American education". President Morgan, who is to speak at the Union this evening, was invited to become its president some years ago when it had become financially embarrassed, and he at once proceeded to put his new ideas into practise.

His system is built on three fundamental premises: the graduate of the ordinary technical school, the alumnus of the liberal college, and the self-made man each lack something that the two others possess, and each possess something that the other two lack. In order to combine these qualities, President Morgan has established a six-year course at Antioch, in which the student studies half of the time, and works the other half in Dayton or in a neighboring town. Although the title of President Morgan's speech is "New movements in education," he will doubtless expound the Antioch system, which is as famous as it is little understood. And it should be better understood, for it appears to have a future before it.
