Excerpt from Proceedings of the Sixth Annual Meeting of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools: Held in the Banqueting Hall of the Auditorium Hotel, Chicago, Illinois, March 29 and 30, 1901
Remembering that this was a National Committee, its membership covering an area bounded by Cambridge on the east and Berkeley on the west, by Minneapolis on the north and Cincinnati on the south,we shall not be surprised that its generalizations, made to fit extremely various conditions and subject to approval by widely different communities, are in places incomplete and in others a little vague. A process of compromise by mutual cancellation was doubtless sometimes used in framing its report and it still remains for more homo geneous associations to review and approve or amend its var ious recommendations for their own territory, making them wherever possible more definite and more precise, and adapt ing them more exactly to relatively limited educational areas. And then, these things agreed to, it remains to give this legis lative action practical effect by establishing some applratus of administration which shall determine what schools are high schools what high schools are doing the work of the estab lished units in each course; what high schools teach a pro gramme of studies entitling their graduates to college admis sion in our group; what so-called colleges are really such in our sense of the word, and which of these are willing to adopt and live up to a scheme of admission requirements agreed upon in this conference. And as conditions will change from time to time with respect to dlfl'erent schools and colleges, it will be necessary that this administrative machinery be kept at work, or at least in workable condition, year after year, probably making annual reports subject to approval by this association.
Some definite beginnings have been made, of different kinds, and here and there, towards a performance of these functions, the most recent and instructive perhaps by the Mid dle States and Maryland, and in the States of Iowa and M in mesota - in Iowa by the associated schools and colleges acting under the auspices of the State Teachers' Association, and in Minnesota by the state itself. The growing length of this paper admonishes me, however, that I must not take more time for an analysis of things done elsewhere if I would pro pose any definite programme for your consideration here.
