At the Denver meoting of the National Educational Association, two years ago, the department of secondary and higher education joined in the apppoint-ment of a committee to investigate the entire subject of college entrance requirements and the secondary school courses leading to college. The first report of this joint committee published in the School Review of June, 1896, shbwed that the first step toward a successful conclusion had been taken. This report, giving In detail the requirements of society colleges and universities, is not only of great value toward the solution of this troublesome questfon of entrance requirements, but also a convenient hand book for teachers of secondary schools. The Joint committee was continued by the ‘National Association, and directed to pursue its work. The recent meeting of the Committee at Indianapolis, which was attended by Principal Bishop, of Walnut Hills High School, one of the promoters of the movement, and a member of the committee, gave evidence of rapid progress in the work. Principal Bishop has also been appointed by the President of the American Philological Association, Prof. T. Seymour, of Yale, a member of an auxiliary committee of ten to assist the Philological Association in formulating standard Latin and Greek courses for high schools. This auxiliary committee wilt meet in New York in April. Its labors will be directly auxiliary to those of the National Committee referred to, and will greatly aid in bringing about a satisfactory course in Latin and Greek.It has long been a matter of serious complaint that American education has beer in a state of confusion, which has resul;ed in great loss In efficiency.” said Professor Bishop.
