THE RECENT PERIOD, 1890-1920 201 College Entrance. — In connection with the growth of secondary and higher education it will be interesting to note the gradual democratization of college entrance requirements. During the entire period under dis- cussion the question has been a live one. At the beginning of the period the old custom still prevailed. According to this tradition the colleges practically dic- tated to the preparatory schools what their curriculums should be. In the eastern states e...ntrance had always been by examination ; and in some of the eastern in- stitutions this custom still prevails. In the west the practice was begun by the University of Michigan, and adopted by nearly all other state universities, of ac- crediting high schools after inspection. The graduates of accredited high schools are admitted without ex- amination, provided that they show credit for certain prescribed subjects. In this way the college still dictates to the high school. But the growth of the high schools, and the gradual recognition of their task of preparing young people for life who do not intend going to college, is rapidly turning the tide.
