Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From School to College Young women and young men, you have now finished your preparatory studies at the Wash bum School and are about to enter college. Your teachers have given you much wise counsel, but the chances are that you have been so busy trying to remember the genders and declensions of Latin nouns, the conjugations of verbs, or the processes of proving that something of no importance at all is equal to something else of even less importance, that you have not had time to consider or even to remember their advice about things that are really vital. So perhaps just now, the first time you have had a little breathing spell for years, you are in a mood to listen to one who is pretty familiar with the road you must travel, and who has helped guide along it many feet both willing and wayward. When David Copperfield, a very small orphan with all the serious problems of life pressing hard upon him, turned up, foot-sore and begrimed, at the door of his Aunt Betsy Trotwood, that goodwoman applied to her oracle for advice as to what she should do with him. And Mr. Dick, instead of going into the boy's past or looking into his future, and without considering the rights, duties and privileges of all parties concerned, simply looked at What was in front of him and replied: If I was you I should wash him.

This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty Years of School and College English The papers in this pamphlet are republished as a contribution to the discussion provoked by the reports which were presented in 1892 and 1895 to the Board of Overseers of Harvard College by the Committee on Composition and Rhetoric. Each paper was written independently; the author of each was, at 'the time of writing, charged with the duty of reading the examination books in English produced by candidates for admission to Harvard College. The first paper, Oopies of which were sent by the College authorities to the masters of over two hundred and twenty schools, was published only five years after an examination in English composition was for the first time prescribed for admission the last, after examinations in that subject had been going on for nearly twenty years. Taken together, the five papers show a remarkable agreement both in facts and in inferences and both facts and inferences tend to sustain the general conclusion reached on independent grounds by the Committee of the Board of Overseers - the conclusion that the Secondary Schools need to pay more attention to English.

Download or read book Leaving College written by Vincent Tinto and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-04-27 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this 1994 classic work on student retention, Vincent Tinto synthesizes far-ranging research on student attrition and on actions institutions can and should take to reduce it. The key to effective retention, Tinto demonstrates, is in a strong commitment to quality education and the building of a strong sense of inclusive educational and social community on campus. He applies his theory of student departure to the experiences of minority, adult, and graduate students, and to the situation facing commuting institutions and two-year colleges. Especially critical to Tinto’s model is the central importance of the classroom experience and the role of multiple college communities.
