While English teachers may have grown tired of words like "relevance," "viable,""meaningful," "thrust," And other assorted linguistic garbage,no word has been used so widely it the last few years to describe the lamentable state of Americaneducation and English teachingas that word "basics," usually in clauseSlike"We need to return to the basics"or "The basics are essential- to any education worthythe name" or "Why aren't the schools teaching the basics?"Any English teacher who reads thenewspaper could find head- lines in papers as different, as ARIZONA REPUBtIC, PHOENIX.GAZETTE,,NY TIMES, LC6AN- GELES TIMES, CHICAGO TRIBUNE,or DENVER POST, headlines like "Student Writing is Sink- ing," "It's High Time to Hold SchoolsAccountable," "Schools Fail the Test," "School Reform," "Teacher Hails Return of Basics,""20 Per Cent in U.S. May Be Functionally Incompetent," "Call Back Teachers of Latin andGreek," "When Education Was Indeed Basic, It Turned Out Some Good Products," "HighSchool Teachers Up Against It After Students Miss Fundamentals," "Scottsdale School Official Proposes Returnto Basics," "Bad English Simply Fault of Ill-EquippedTeachers," "Shape Up, Teachers!" "Schpol Reform Has Priority," "Liberals DefendOpen Classes Against Back -to- the- Basics Forces," "Progressives Have Failed," and "CollegeEntrance Test Scores Drop Sharply," allln- tended to drive homeone simple (or simplistic) point--that schoolsare hot whit they used to be, that schools are failing where they once admirably succeeded.

The president of a prominent college in another part of the country wrote an article during some of the more difficult years on the campuses entitled "How to Sur­ vive Though Surrounded by Students," or something like that. His first and most important word of advice was "Listen to them." It did not take two Constitutional Conventions to convince most of us on the faculty and in the admin­ istration that students ought to be listened to. Let me enumerate some of the ways in which students are listened to at Colby, and let me emphasize that what they have to say is taken seriously. Each year two students are elected by their fellows to be representatives to the board of trustees. They do not vote, but neither do the two faculty representa­ tives. They do, however, have the full privilege of the floor, and they receive all the written materials and hear all the discussions that full voting trustees have FEW OBSERVATIONS ARE IN ORDER WITH REGARD TO access to.

Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1862, by DICK & FITZGERALD, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States, for the Southern District of New York. - Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1876, BY DICK & FITZGERALD, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C. PREFACE. In all ages of the world, and in all countries, men have in­ dulged in "so­ cial drinks." They have al­ ways possess­ ed themselves of some popu­ lar beverage apart from water and those of the breakfast and tea table. Whether it is judicious that mankind should con­ tinue to indulge in such things, or whether it would be wiser to abstain from all enjoyments of that character, it is not our province to decide. We leave that question to the moral philosopher. We simply contend that a relish for "social drinks" is universal; that those drinks exist in greater variety in the United States than in any other country in the world; and that he, therefore, who proposes to impart to these drink not only the most palatable but the most wholesome characteristics of which they may be made susceptible, is a genuine public benefactor.
