The Tar Heel solicits ad vertising from reputable concerns only. Entered as second-class mail matter at the Post Office, Chapel Hill, N. C. Tuesday, May 3, 1927 GIVE IT A TRY It is reported that Dr. Hamil ton Holt has caused a consider able ripple in the academic world by his advocacy of abol ishing "the time-honored lecture and recitation methods of in struction in colleges and univer sities" and substitute therefor a plan of study under which stu dent and instructor would be in constant contact during the working hours of the day. The plan was propounded by Dr. Holt in an address before a ses sion of the alumni workers con ference here the past Friday. Reporting that he has project ed the plan at Rollins College, a private institution in Florida of which he is president, the speak er declared that so far it had been a success. As set forth by Dr. Holt the plan is as follows : "Under the plan, the student would go on classes about eight o'clock in the morning and be dismissed short ly after three in the afternoon, with an hour for lunch. The remainder of the afternoon would be devoted to athletics or some form of exercise, while the evening would be devoted in part to cultural programs of lec tures and music, although attendance upon these would be optional, pro viding additional time for students desiring to supplement their regular classroom study. The view is empha sized, however, that the regular con ference study hours between 8 and 3, when the students and instructors wpuld'be together all the time, would achieve greater results than obtained under the present system of prepar ation outside the classroom. There - would be no lecture or recitation, but the instructor would be on hand all the time to answer questions and con , fer with the students. This plan means that no student can go through college without coming in constant, continuous and friendly relation with tk faculty during the working hours of the day . . .' . All true education is self -education." ; At once, it is to be seen, a host of questions and doubts 'arise in the minds of those to whom the plan is at first offered. How a- bout optional class attendance? Would one find it better to study on class for two hours when the classroom may be on the other side of the campus from , the li brary? Would there be exami nations? Doesn't the plan savor of high school methods? Would it not be a return to the former "slavish" methods of getting an education? Brushing -aside these, Dr. Holt says the plan is proving practical. He avers that education can not be "relayed or spoonfed" to (the students by the instructor. Then taking up the recitation system, he states that it is "al most a complete reversal of what, the relation of . teacherand the taught should be." It is a fal lacy, he declared, that students spend two hours in preparation to recite an hour. Further, the questions are asked by the in structor, who possesses the in formation, while the student who seeks knowledge recites the halfbaked information he has not mastered. , The plan calls for several rad ical changes: better and more instructors would have to be had, a limited student body would be necessary, etc. What increasing the cost "of instruc tion? Have we not labored long enough under the fallacy that higher education is a matter of mass production? - With a healthy sized group of seniors leaving the University within five weeks with the feel ing that their time has largely been spent in vain, it is evident that there is something amiss in our present educational sys tem.: If no more objections can be raised than are given now, the Holt plan would remedy the prevailing situation to the extent that it would be practical. Random Thrusts By Froshlne n Three Day Trip ; (This column is gratefully dedicat ed to the Golden Fleece, which has so kindly furnished the inspiration for sundry wisecracks.) , Fleece Bleats "Tonight Will Never Come Again" sing the candidates for Golden Fleece, I as they file into Memorial Hall to night I r Lafe Sunday; afternoon Coach Legrande accompanied by Man ager Berwanger and thirteen members of the freshman base ball team left for a three day trip in Virginia.

If the old adage' of "first come, first served" could be changed tonight to "first come, first tapped" we sup pose there would be a frantic rush for all the front row seats. . ; W. D. C.

D. C. GUIDANCE GROUPS TO BE ORGANIZED Facultymen and Visitors Will Lecture to Freshmen on Different Vocations. This morning at Chapel period discussion groups to take - up problems dealing with the vari ous professions will be formed in Gerrard Hall, according to an announcement made by Dean of Students F. F. Bradshaw yester day. These groups will be open to all freshmen, and will meet three times during the remain der of the school year. Each meeting will take up about an hour's time. "Many Seniors are not only un certain but uncomfortable con cerning a profession or life oc cupation," Dean Bradshaw-' de clared. "A man should not have to make a decision about a pro fession, as in choosing a wife, it should grow on you. Nobody would want to choose a wife in a day's time. Choosing a pro fession should be a matter of years of consideration. "For the past two years mem bers of the freshman class have divided themselves in groups for the purpose of discussing pro fessions or life occupations about this time of year. Pre-law stu dents, pre-med students, engi neering students, those who will become teachers these are some of the groups , that are formed. The meetings are so scheduled that men interested in more than one profession can meet with the different groups that he is interested in. Only those students really interested in one of these professions are encouraged to attend the meet ings, since small groups are bet ter for discussion."
