Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Choice of a College, for a Boy Parents too often choose a college for a son without special thought or knowledge. To many people a college is a college, as a spade is a spade. But the slightest reflection, or the most superficial knowledge, is sufficient to produce the conviction that colleges differ as fundamentally as any other products of human skill. Certain institutions that bear the name of college advance the student to no higher stage of learning or culture than other colleges require for admission to their freshman class. It is also evident that too many parents do not select a college with special reference to the conditions or the needs of the son who is going to college. It is often thought that a college good for one boy must be good for all boys. The truth is not that the college which is one boy´s meat is another boy´s poison, but the truth is that a college good for one boy may be something less than good or even something more than good for another boy. Before beginning the discussion of the elements that should constitute the choice of a college, it is not unfitting for me to say it is always to be understood that to the parent selecting a college for a child the college is a tool and not a product. It is an agent and not a result. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
