I WASSOOKEAG SCHOOL and WASSOOKEAG SCHOOL- CAMP The peace-time educational system developed at Wassookeag School-Camp and Wassookeag School from 1926 to 1928 has become a pattern for war. The colleges are operating on an accelerated schedule ; the draft is digging deeper into the ranks of youth ; the stride of events is lengthening toward complete mobilization of man power. All this demands that we do more for boy power and do it quickly. The boy who previously entered college at eighteen, the candidate of average or better abil- ity, can and must enter college at seventeen. The boy who entered college at seventeen, the boy of outstanding ability, can and must enter at sixteen. Candidates for college can save a year without sacrificing sound standards if they begin not with the senior year in school, but with the freshman or sophomore year. Now more than ever be- fore we must look ahead surely and plan ahead thoroughly.
