Excerpt from Computation and Mensuration The transition from secondary school to college is disastrous for many students. This is due largely to the fact that the student has not been taught to make inde pendent use of what he has learned. The transition should be accompanied by training in the application of the knowledge gained in the secondary school. Such training serves a threefold purpose - it makes the student realize that he has acquired increased power, it reviews the work of the secondary school in an interest ing manner, and it gives an outlook into the work of the college.
