If you are tempted to reveal
A tale some one has told
About another, make it pass,
Before you speak, three gates of
gold;
-Three narrow gates:. First, “Is it
true?”
Then: “Is it . needful?” In your
mind •
Give truthful answers, and the next
Is last and closest, “Is it kind?"
And,, if -to reach your, iips at last.

What the result of speed may be.

This article is for you, whether oi
not you have the means to go to
college. Have you ever wondered if
there was a way you could make up
for the lack of a college degree?
If you are one of those who plan
to continue your education beyond
high school you should begin to
think about your college selection.
(In order to help youths solve the
problem, a group of educators have
been making a careful study of high
school and college education in
Pennsylvania, for the last ten years.
The men in charge of the Penn
sylvania study assumed that one re
sult which should be obtained from
high school or college is knowledge.
They designed long tests to measure
the kinds of knowledge they were
supposd to teach. Then over a period
of years they gave these tests to
students. The men in charge found,
among other- things, that ten per
cent of the high school seniors had
higher te^tfsepres tjian the one age
age college‘student. This means that
a person without a college education
is not doomed to inferiority. The
college student with the highest
score attributed his success to care
ful study, entirely on his own re
sponsibility, of the Sunday edition of
the New York Times. This student
would have educated himself even if
he had not had his opportunity for
college.
Those puzzled over college selec-.
tion will find much food for thought
in the Pennsylvania inquiry.
It was found that colleges differ
widely among themselves. The stu
dents in some colleges,advance in in
formation while others remain r on*
high school level; yet all these
schools are called colleges. This
shows the importance of selecting a
college wisely.
The size of a college is no indica
tion of the education it offers. The
success of the football team is
equally useless in your selection
Most important, find out whether the
college you are considering tries to
adapt its work to your individual
needs.
What every student needs is
“tailor-made” education. You will
have to carry your questions to col
lege officials in a letter or oral in
terview. Try to find a college which
will really attempt to educate you-,
not one that will give you a degree
for your tuition fees.
