      ab: The article cites a study focusing on the need to adjust higher education to social needs and academic progress in the U.S. The greatest need in higher education today is a thorough-going job analysis to find how many educated people, and of what kind, the American community needs. The study will find that current curriculums, prevailing theories, plans and ambitions of students and parents, demands of the community, and estimates of the outlook for the future are based largely on outgrown traditions. It would not be necessary to have specialized laboratories for all kinds of vocations. The most practical curriculum would be the one which does not proposes or insist upon any specific practical course, but provides training in general culture, with emphasis upon personal development and social values. The type of education here suggested would take the place of the system of apprenticeship which prevails in Europe with these same objectives. It would be an improvement to the apprenticeship system in this country.
