Letters on Tutoring

To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

I fully agree with Peter Black '42 that the main reason why the tutoring schools have so many clients lies in the fact that in a multitude of courses no time is allowed for reviewing before an examination. Even worse in some instances: for History I at mid-years, besides all the reviewing we were meant to do, we had to cover a staggering three week assignment within the last fortnight before the examination. In England, both in preparatory schools and varsities, we were always given a "revising-hours" and in consequence we registered less cases of failure than you do over here, and we did not have to resort to crammers. Take a hint from the old world! S. C. Macalester '42.
