Excerpt from Admission to College by CertificateAs long as the question of admission to college by certificate 4 is looked upon merely as the formal transfer of individuals from one institution to another, and no more, just so long will the system be adjudged unsatisfactory. The adoption of the system means, usually, the transfer Of responsibility for deter mining standards from the higher to the lower part of the system. The lower part, however willing it may be, is not pre pared to bear the burden alone. The college cannot afford to shift the control of its own standards to high schools unless it is willing to assist the schools in maintaining those standards.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
