EFFECTIVE TEACHING

The Mail

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

In the Harvard CRIMSON of February 19, three of my colleagues and friends (Messrs. Cherington, H. M. Jones, and Taylor) "attack Harris study on education." I am quoted as saying somewhere "that classes between 25 and 75 are 'worthless.'" I never said anything of the kind. I do believe that the most effective teaching, vis-a-vis the resources put in, is in the very small groups or lectures with, say, 75 students or more. Seymour E. Harris '20,   Chairman,   Department of Economics.
