The University has maintained a Correspondence-study Department con­tinuously since it opened in 1892.2. The Department has grown steadi ly from year to year.3. More than six thousand students have established connection with theUniversity through it.4. Over one hundred and twenty members of the University Facultiesare now giving correspondence- courses.5. The plan in general is to offer as many as possible of the courses given inthe class-rooms of the different divisions of the University, so that thosewho have dropped out of high school or college may continue theirstudies.6. There are, in addition, many courses designed primarily for those in differ­ent professional vocations, especially teachers.7. Any amount of admission work and one-half of the college work re­quired for a Bachelor's degree may be done by correspondence.S. Each student selects his course or courses and advances as rapidly as hisability and application permit.9. One receives the maxnnum of personal attention in a correspondencecourse.10. Many qualities, such as self-reliance, initiative, perseverance, and' accuracy,are peculiarly encouraged and developed by this method of instruction.11. Scholarships are awarded to those who satisfactorily complete a given num­ber of courses.12. Work may begin at any time.For further information inquire atthe office of the Correspondence StudyDepartment, Cobb Han, 3A.The University of Chicago WeeklyVol. XI No. j.

T1.uOvcr)' definitely contrasted points of view regarding tire summer student arc give", below.THE SUMMER COLONY ATTHE UNIVERSITY THE SUMMER COLONY ATTHE UNIVERSITYA POINT 01: VIEW.For six weeks of last summer I became a memberof what was to me a strange community. The en­vironment was not new-indeed, it had grown pecu­liarly familiar in two years of close association. Andyet, well-known surroundings notwithstanding, I feltoddly alien in this community's midst. The situationwas simple enough-I was merely doing an extra half­quarter of University work. The difference and thenovelty lay in the fact that this quarter fell withinthe summer period, when it seems that all conditions,traditions, and precedents of University life and workare changed.Anyone who is aware of the workings of the Uni­versity system knows that during the Summer Quar­ter, a time of vacation for the regular student body,the doors are thrown open to many of those outsidethe University for whom only the summer monthsare available for study. That the call to student ranksis a welcome one is shown by the number who respondto it from all parts of the United States, from Can-. ada, and even from Europe. 'l'here is usually a goodlysmattering of regular. students enrolled, who, like my­self, are, for one reason or another, continuing theirwork into the summer. There are always those whodo not appear to hail from anywhere in particular orfall under any given heading-unsettled, acquisitiveatoms of humanity, to whom a few' weeks of studyon the University campus offers as good an opportu­nity for divertisement as any. Add to this the factthat the great majority of summer students are teach­ers during the rest of the year, and we have sug­gested the nature of our community, as elusive ofdefinite characterization as a State street throng.The eccentricities of the Summer Quarter are mostapparent to those who, like myself, know the Univer- AN ANSWER.Once more comes the vacation, brief respite' forthose who have been bearing the burden and heat ofthe day in the schoolrooms of our country; once morethe opportunity to gain renewed strength to carryonthe work which will inevitably succeed this short: pe­riod of refreshing. It is opening time for the Sum­mer session of the University of Chicago.The offices and places of registration are overflow­ing with teachers; the campus is thronged with them;and as one looks into their faces one's mind leaps; backto the broad prairies, the country towns, the school­houses, little and big, from which they have come.Here is the young ambitious teacher, fresh fromher first term in the country district, which up to nowhas been her world. In her district is a school di­rector who is a college man, intellectual aristocrat ofthe place, and there is, also, a mother who was oncegraduated from a female Seminary. The require­ments of these she must satisfy ,would she speak withauthority in her own little realm. Think you she willlet any crumb of knowledge escape for want 'of effortor" attention in picking it up? Knowledge is powerin her kingdom. Can she forget the time when thenext lesson demanded an explanation of the changeof seasons? In nervous desperation, with' kerosenelamp and darning ball, she spent the hours in a: fruit­less endeavor to make it " come right." When para­llelism of axis comes up for discussion, will she findit dreary?There, too, is the strong, high-souled woman whois the intellectual" loaf-giver" to her community. Toher the group of village teachers look' for ideas andmethods. The Woman's Club renews its inspirationthrough her.

To walk on the cam­pus and pass this stream of middle aged, eager stu­dents, many of whom present-striking objects indress, manner, carriage, is an experience indeed toone who is accustomed during nine months of the yearto meet on the same walks and in the same buildingsa younger, rather more sophisticated, perhaps less in­tent, and certainly more unified group of people. Itis an experience, too, capable of arousing varied emo­tions. My feeling for the first few days was, I con­fess with shame, one in which a sort of resentmentplayed prominently. I felt a certain indignation inseeing" my" University and " my" campus so boldlyand completely taken possession of by this trespass­ing, motley crew. They entered with exasperating un­reserve into a thorough-going enjoyment of its advan­tages. They lounged upon the grass or sat about thecampus with faces eternally pleased. They blissfullydisregarded all established proprieties of place andthing-the women sat upon the" C" bench unblush­ingly ! They were always doing such ridiculousthings-one found it hard to forgive them.But soon the zest of enjoyment which they evincedin all they did opened my eyes to a remorseful reali­zation of some things I had overlooked. There wasthe really-old lady, gr:ly locks eternally straggling,scant frame borne up by a superabundance of energyand enthusiasm, who was wont to cry with claspedhands and teary eyes: "Ah, this is living!" Shehad gr:own old teaching first grade in some little \Vest:ern burg, and found in this Summer School an op­portunity to nourish her starved tendencies not onlytoward learning but toward life. She bustled abouteternally and discussed engagements and the stressof the busy life with the luxurious abandonment tocommanding circumstances of a real person of affairs.There was also the voluble young Southern womanwho was wont to discourse with keen relish, thoughnot without a certain superiority of judgment, on thevarious courses, lectures, concerts which merited ordismerited her attention. There was the practical,middle aged teacher of unquestioned consequence inthe home town who found it hard to fit into the roleof student. In the School of Education was the youngwoman and many of her-stiff, unsociable, scared, anddowdy, who did her work with grim precision andnot a trace of originality. There was the brown-evedold lady of old-world air, who was wont to take -thefloor in class room and to hold it indeterminately whileshe discoursed conversationally on any topic. There·was the argumentative man with eyebrows pointingdiagonally upward over doubting blue eyes, and witha delicious Southern accent, most persuasive and con­vincing. There was-and there was; I could go onindefinitely with them.(Continued on Page 44.)!IIt : an almost audible eagerness? She is listening not furherself alone, but for the children, for the teachers,for the neighbors of her home town. Or, having haddealings with the government of her community, withits religious life, its social reform, having been, may­hap, the arbiter of peace and war among her people.shall we wonder if at times she takes and keeps theclassroom floor and inclines to think well of her 0\\'11judgments?A wayworn but faith ful pilgrim to the shrine. \\'ehave also the little old lady with pinched. care-lin-dface, and rusty black dress of ancient cut, and theinevitable bag of generous proportions.

Howard MacQueary Declares Environment Cause ofJuvenile Delinquency.Society is directly responsible for nineteen out ofevery twenty cases of criminality among boys, accord­ing to statements made in a lecture last Tuesday by T.I-Iowanl �lacQueary, now of the Teatman High school.St. Louis, but formerly superintendent of the ChicagoParental School. To poverty and parental greed, thespeaker attributed the stealing on the part of boys.He declared that the boy's environment was chieflyresponsible for his transgressions. Heredity, he said,was comparatively unimportant as a cause of wrongdoing. This lecture is a part of a series of four by. Mr. l\facQueary, Hon. Julian W. Mack, judge of the. jll���i'le Court, and Henry W. Thurston, Chief Pro­bati�n Officer. In part, Mr. Thurston said:" The bad boy is a victim of environment prima­rily, and, in a lesser degree, of heredity. Careful in­vestigation and comparison of the physical and mentalqualities of boys in the Chicago public schools withthose in the Parental School, where boys are sent fortruancy, shows conclusively that habitual truants are,as a class, inferior mentally and physically to the ordi­nary public school boys who are reared under moreiavorable conditions. But the boys at the ParentalSchool are not degenerates, either physically or mor­ally. By chance of birth it has happened that theyhave been thrown into an environment unsuitable forgrowth and development."What, then, do the physical and moral defectsprove? They show simply that these boys are nowliving under unfavorable conditions of growth, or thattheir 'parents and ancestors have been thus unfavora­bly circumstanced. In other words, un favorable en­vironment is the chief cause of physical and mental de­fects and of truancy, delinquency (i. e., criminalityin the young). and crime. "Heredity plays a minor part �n the productionof the bad boy. His motor defects, his inability prop­erly to co-ordinate his movements, to control hisnerves and muscles, are due to a disordered nervoussystem, which in turn is due to unsanitary and otherunfavorable conditions of living. Change and im­prove his environment, and his motor defects will al­most instantly vanish." His growth defects-misshapen head, mal former Iears, high and narrow palate-arc inherited from par­ents or ancestors who have lived under unfavorablecircumstances and have transmitted to their offspringthe defects caused by unfavorable environment. Eventhe bad effects which might flow from these inheriteddefects, however, may be largely prevented by a changeand improvement in the boy's environment. Hence.environment is by all odds the most important factorin causing truancy, delinquency and crime. and as suchit must now claim our special attention." Of 401 boys sent to the Chicago Parental School,312 or 78 per cent come from homes and neighbor­hoods where influences were at work well calculatedto draw them away from school and into vagabond­age, vice and crime. The other 22 per cent come, somefrom good homes and neighborhoods, and some from" poor" environment. It is difficult, in fact impos­sible, to draw a hard and fast line between two classesof boys and say that the offenses of one class are due-solely to natural defects and the offenses of the other'class are due exclusively to bad environment. Butwe know that certain boys because of moral and phy­sical defects would go wrong, even under favorableconditions, and that in addition they have unfavorablehome conditions to contend against ." About 75 per cent of the boys in the ParentalSchool come from homes and neighborhoods in whichare found conditions (ignorance, poverty, unhygienicconditions, brutalitary, - drunkenness, parental weak­ness, the " gang," etc.) which are sufficient to producetruancy and crime, while the other 25 per cent con­sists of two classes.:........viz.: Boys whose natural de­fects are such as to produce truancy and crime evenunder more favorable circumstances, and boys who arenot below par and who live in good homes but whogo wrong for some reason not clearly revealed in theirhistory and character. Vve are firmly convinced thatnot more than 10 per cent, perhaps only 5 per cent,of the boys in the Parental School would go wrong ifplaced in favorable circumstances where they would getplenty of good food, proper care, discipline and train­ing, and a fair chance to become decent citizens. Thisis clearly proved by the charge which comes over theseboys during their short stay at the Parental School;the lapses of the 20 per cent who go wrong after leav­ing there are due in a large measure to the banefulinfluences which they encounter after parole, and notto natural inherited, inherent meanness or depravity .• �ttil-.(:,1a1� ) I.,\\\,l'11a139THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY."'Vhen we look more closely into the so-called. homes , from which come habitual truants and delin­quents, we are surprised that they are as good boys:1 � they arc. Go with me through the Ghetto or the�tock Yards district or Little Hell in Chicago, or! he slums on the East Side in New York City, or even.orne of the better neighborhoods of our large cities,::lHI we will find thousands of children, being born.md reared under conditions which practically force: hem into vice and crime. Poverty is unquestionably! he chief cause of juvenile delinquency. Owing to the; .overty of their parents, thousands of children arciorced to live in the shims and overcrowded districts·)f the city, in rear tenements or basements, reekingwith filth and vermin oftentimes, and at best in shacks.ocated ncar large factories, which are continuallybelching forth volumes of smoke and poisonous odorswhich so pollute the atmosphere that it stifles one whoenters it from a purer atmosphere. \Ve wonder howhuman beings can exist in it. We are not surprisedat their offenses... I f the mother has been deserted by her husband,or if he is dead, then she has to do washing or scrub­hing, or at best dressmaking or clerking, for whichshe never receives more than $1.50 a day. Even whenan elder daughter or son is employed, conditions arehardly more satisfactory. The girl may work in adepartment store and get from $4 to $6 a week, butshe spends most of it on herself. She is forced tokeep up appearances, and $6 a week won't buy manydresses or much lingerie. I f she has any personal at­tractions, a pretty face or fine figure for instance, shemay get a friend in the store to help her-for a con­sideration! I f she is a ' domestic' she may earn betterwages, but even her $5 and $6 a week will not enableher to clothe herself and give much aid to her familv."It often happens that the parents are forced toallow young boys, who have passed only the secondor. third grade in school, to sell newspapers or go towork, and these boys are soon corrupted by their as­sociations. Parents swear falsely to obtain the schoollabor certificates, and their lying is simply due to pov­erty. Nobody, not even the criminal, wants his boyto grow up in ignorance, vice and crime. It is re­markable how many parents do want their children tobe educated.Boys are often encouraged by their parents to stealcoal to keep their families warm. In many cases theirstealing is directly traceable' to poverty; in all cases _it is due either. to poverty or the baneful influencesof " the gang" or other influences over which the boyI�ad little or no control, and for which he cannot justlybe held responsible. There are comparatively fewwho are born thieves. Most thieves are made, notborn." Lecture Continued on Wednesday.In continuing his topic in, a .Iecture given-onWednesday afternoon, Mr. MacQueary attacked theinstitutions of the character of the John Worthy Schooland recommended the introduction of the . cottage sys­tem. He also declared that there never had been in­stances of brutality at the Chicago Parental 'School,of which he was formerly SUperintendent. In part, hesaid:., The old method of handling 'delinquents was toincarcerate them with adults. As .this proved an en­tirely unsatisfactory method, it was abandoned in re­cent years. In Chicago the John Worthy School hastaken the place of the former system, but even thisinstitution is faulty and should be done away with.The cottage plan, by which boys are placed in smallgroups, a scheme' which has proved very successfulin oth ... .r cities, should replace it. -"The Chicago Parental School for truants hassought to give training in horticulture, military tactics,and gymnastics. The diet of the boys has been care­fully attended to with markedly beneficial results. Sys­tematic play is. also a feature of the work. Corporalpunishment is absolutely forbidden. I f handled rough­ly the boys may directly or through their parents com­plain to the superintendent. As roughness would causethe immediate dismissal of an instructor, reports ofbrutality are entirely the sensational fabrications ofthe newspapers. The forms of punishment used aretaken .f�om the United States Army regulations orother lighter penalties such as standing with the backturned to the swimming pool while the other boys arehaving a delightful bath.: ,"In institutions for dependents and delinquents,where the pupils are older and will go out into theworld when they have left the school, the boys shouldbe and are given instruction in particular trades, suchas forging, printing, meat cutting, etc. There are anumber of excellent institutions of this sort." But it is ridiculous that we should wait until stu­dents are placed in such institutions before giving thema practical education. This idea of teaching a tradeshould be introduced into our public schools. Our ed­ucational system must be, made more practical."Mr. Arthur Burton of the University of Chicagowill give a song recital in the art .studio of EmmonsBlaine Hall Monday, July 15. at 4 :45.

NO.2EDITORIALAt the promotion of Dean George Edgar Vincentto the head of the Faculties of Arts, Literature andScience, and of Dean Robert MorssDeans Vincent Lovett to the head of the Juniorand Lovett Colleges, the students of the U ni-versity of Chicago have every rea­son to congratulate themselves. I t is not alone be­cause of the fact that each has proved himself a ca­pable executive as well as a thorough scholar thatthere is a cause for student satisfaction; it is becauseeach possesses more personal qualities of even greatervalue. Mr. Vincent and Mr. Lovett are men who cando things in addition to thinking things and sayingthings. They are young, aggressive, and thoroughlyeffective as entities in the world of action as well asin the world of thought. Moreover, each is a gentle­man; each has that kindliness of heart which is innateand not assumed like the cap and gown for chapelservice.Dean Vincent is a sociologist, but his sociology isnot of that brand which is connected in the popularmind with the hazarding of eccentric guesses at every­thing in general and nothing in particular. He is thor­oughly sane, constructive, vigorous. His direction of the Chautauqua Institution is a mark of his ability.Dean Lovett has already placed a very evident im­print upon the literature of the English language. "AWinged Victory," as well as his earlier publications.is of such a character as to cause every loyal son ofChicago a glow of pride.In the long run, student sentiment is based uponsure grounds. Were not the qualities of Dean Vin­cent and Dean Lovett such as to make them fit forthe positions to which they have been advanced, nosuch student popularity as they possess would betheirs.In the last issue of the WEEKLY, official announce­ment was made of the discoveries of the EgyptianExploration Expedition of the Uni-The Breasted versity of Chicago and their impor-Expedition tance in political and religious his-tory was discussed.

Later,Mr. Rockefeller formally denied that he ever saidanything of the kind.

PRESIDENT URGES DEMOCRACY IN SCHOOLHarry Pratt Judson in Address at School of EducationAdvocates Group Plan of Training.President Harry Pratt Judson reviewed presenteducational conditions and theories at the chapel exer­cises of the School of Education in the Assembly Roomof Emmons Blaine Hall Tuesday morning. The roomwas filled with teachers and others interested, who arcamong the summer students in the School of Educa­tion ..• The modern tendency in the education of theyoung student," President Judson declared, ,. is towarddemocratization. The group plan of educating stu­dents in communities, all members of which are in­terested in the study that is pursued, and at the sametime allowing free association with the rest of thestudent, body, is the ideal toward which modern edu­cators are striving. The theory. however admirable,must proceed its practice slowly, for those who handlethe financial matters tell us that it is costly." The sons of the rich, who are educated by privatetutors, lose much that would be valuable to them ifthey were permitted to mingle with others of differ­ent social position. This plan is beneficial to all­it democratizes the student... There is one more thought I would like to placebefore you. Study the individuality of the pupils underyou. Of course all of you who teach are consciousof that individuality. As it is said the child is fatherto the man, then children must be of different uar­acters and different natures." Frequently it happens that a child exhibits a tend­ency toward some particular field, and that this tend­ency is deprecated by its parents and others. Laterin li fe this child may be a leader of men o� accountof this very aptitude, Such things need encourage­ment. There are few leaders in the world of science,of invention, of literature. There is much alleged lit­erature being produced, but who can say how manymasterpieces will survive as monuments in literature?In science, we have such names as Darwin, Tyndall,Mycr, Liebig, and others those-of you who arc inter­ested in science can mention-in all not more than \a score. So it is ni the fields of art, of poetry. Thesefew men have led all progress in their fields. Thechildren of today who exhibit precocity in some par­ticular thing may lead the world later."President Judson also laid stress on the need ofteachers to group their pupils in the classes to which,by aptitude or nature, they belong. This plan, heshowed, was a primary form of the "group educa­tion " he previously had referred to.Dean Nathaniel Butler of the School of'.Educationalso spoke.42PHI DELT· HOUSE INVADED BY BURGLARTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY."PAT·· HENRY ·02 RETURNS FROM OXFORDRhodes Scholar Wins Second Honors in Competitive Ex­amination for B.
