ONE-SIDED EDUCATIONS We are told that the demands of the times necessitate special educa- tion of our youth for special lines of endeavor—that the ‘‘all 'round” man is a misfit in American life. In a measure this is true, but it is a theory that may easily be carried to excess. In the first place, education does not consist in acquiring. knowledge, but rather in the ABILITY to acquire knowledge. The truly educated man is not so much the man who has acquired an extensive knowledge on a given subject, as one who has so developed his intellect that it is ca- pable of acquiring a comprehensive knowledge of ANY subject. Fre- quently the most helpless and most to be pitied of human beings is the man thoroughly skilled in some one line, but with an abysmal ignorance of all else than his own specialty. The one predominating trait for which the American character has heretofore been known is adaptability—the power to measure up to any emergency. This trait has brought men from between the plow handles and landed them in the halls of Congress. It has taken men from the cob- ibler’s bénch and clothed them with the judge’s robe. It transposed a Billy Sunday from the baseball diamond to the great tabernacles where thousands hang upon his every word. It is this quality of adaptability that must not be educated out of the American youth. Train for specialty if you will; develop skill in a chosen line, and develop it to the utmost. But do not destroy initiative. The value of this trait was never more forcibly shown than in the readiness with which our young men have adapted themselves to the army life. The young clerk now shoulders his kit and takes jauntily to the long hike; the dreamy scholar wields the pick and shovel in the trenches as though to the manner born. The young man who has all his life taken orders from others, now directs the activities of hundreds, while he who has heretofore had a small army at his beck and call, now serves in the ranks. In educating, let us first develop the POWER of application—after that is time enough to APPLY the power. LIKE A WAFT FROM THE GOLDEN SLOPE From far away sunny Los Angeles comes the annual midwinter num- ber of the Los Angeles Times and it is welcome. Every winter it bears its mission to every point of importance throughout the United States. Its bulk this issue is 134 pages with one of the most complete roto- gravure sections we ever saw. It is chock full with the story of Califor- nia, Arizona and New Mexico. It tells it all, fully illustrated. It tells of industry, of agriculture, of climate and of homes. We enjoyed peru- sing the midwinter number of The Times this year. But we had to buck up to singing radiator while a strong wind howled along with the mer- cury hovering around 20 below, and try to imagine we were in the Naples of the Coast. i SAYS EVERYTHING IS ALL RIGHT “NOW” Secretary of War Baker smiles and smiles and informs the senate in- vestigating committee that everything is all right now. And the commit- tee very promptly let it be known that it doesn’'t believe the assertion. The statement by the head of the war department, however, is small com- pnsation for the hundreds of deaths caused from pneumonia, from lack of proper clothing, and deaths from other causes occasioned Dy lack of proper conveniences in cantonments. And the committee questions the Now. IS GROWING IN IMPORTANCE “Minnesota in the War,” the official paper of the Minnesota Public Safety Commission, is now issued in eight pages, 9x12, and contains more of interest than it did in its former circumscribed size. It now boasts a circulation of over 10,000 which would indicate that the bulletin is ap- preciated by Minnesota. It is justly entitled to co-operation. We worder what will be done about the chaps in the government employ who were discovered to have received fat contracts to be filled in plants in which they had their coin? It is said that the laws forbid any employe of the government receiving any contract from the government. If it is against the law to do so, what? From the looks of that Bemidji personal property tax assessment list we have come to the conclusion that there are several persons in Bemidji who are doing considerable four flushing or else they slipped on the truth when they were talking to the assessor. The Democrats of the state would endorse Governor Burnquist and other state officials. If it is a case of loyalty, that’s what they will do, and be consistent with Democratic propaganda in backing up loyal officials. If we were as willing to leave the punishment of our enemies in the hands of the Lord as we are the rewarding of our friends, there would be less strife in this old world. We might suggest to the government, that the best way to relieve the coal shortage would be to HAVE COAL DUG. When Germany gets through intriguing with Trotsky he will find that he is expected to trotsky to the musiosky. | THE BEMIDIT DAILY PIONEER BUSINESS AND _ PROFESSIONAL DOCTORS TOM SMART DRAY AND TRANSFER Safe and Piano Moving Res.
