OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS —_— TO LINK OUR SCHOOLS AND INDUSTRY What is education? Frank S. Slutz, who conducts the Moraine Park school at Dayton, Ohio, gives a new definition and explains how the schools may derive greater help from in- dustry, and industry greater help from the schools. “Educa- tion,” says Mr, Slutz, “must teach by doing, and through doing, that culture is the culture that ‘does.’ Hamlet, the most schol- arly of Shakespeare’s characters, is, ironically, the character wlhin does least, and what he does he bungles. There has been toosmuch culture for aloofness. Worth must be the worth which acte. Curricula may be full of subjects and exercises which can function in action—not in the action of the shop alone, but in action which betters environment. “If industry is to put men first and the product second, the schools must cease giving grades in subjects, and must grade in the qualities of character which are acquired. A devil may be amexpert in geometry and o sound young citizen may be weak inllanguages. “If industry, to be successful, must be built upon truth, the schools must adopt a method of recitation which traips for cri- ticizing, for testing, for doubting, instead of for merely accept- ing: The truth is improved by being tested. The printed page issnot infallible. The author of a text may be suggestive but net necessarily final. 4 “If industry is to thrive by sharing and by careful growth, the schools must no longer be the monuments of teagher plans, but must be the results of pupil and teacher thinking together. How can pupils be expected to become enthusiastic over im- posed programs? - The school must not be ‘her school’ but ‘our school, Interest lies close to creative activity. If schools will comsent to become in large part the results of pupil’s plans, hopes and longings, then pedagogy will be a safer procedure and the dogma that ‘children do not know what is good for them’ will be at least fairly tested. If boys and girls are to be given a basis of right- choosing imindustry, the schools must afford to all children opportunities for trying out many occupations, Such opportunities ‘may be given by allowing various businesses in the school itself to be or- ganized and conducted as a part of the school work. Why not have a pupil-manned school bank, school store, school repair squad, school lunch organization? Why not have secretarial groups to write the principal’s official letters and to manage office details? Why should the public pay to have every serv- ice-performed for pupils when the performance of these very duties is vocational training? Many object that students may flit from task to task. Reasonable flitting is again a fine kind of vocational experience, quite harmless early in life, very perilous laterin life. Why not pay pupils in real cash for gervices done the:sehool or thie group? One school in America has over thirty well-established businesses which are prospering. Further- more, the institutions of industry outside the school should be willing to offer experience to boys and girls, if it be true that the man is first and the product secondary. ' Why not ask boys, during the summers, from grades seven to twelve, to work in the world, and to bring from their employers each summer a report of sttanding; this'report to be included as an integral part of ihe school'record? How shall children learn industry or how shall they choose wisely the kind of life work they wish without a series-of trials? OVERHEARD BY EXCHANGE EDITOR Among the latest developments of interest in the Great Lakes-St. Law- rence. cahal’ project is the visit of a New England delegation to the canal routesand an indication, not yet authoritatively expressed, of favor for this new lmnsfloflfitlbn’rnute. Another is the anwakening of an interest on the Pacific: Coastl where;. itis- contended, lumber, dried fruits'and other prod- ucte. ofithe:Coast) ow sent through the Panama canal and brought back by rail to the: interior as far as‘Indiana, may enter the St. Lawrence and come to the very interior of the country by water and without transshipment. Sentiment in favor of the St. Lawrence route has been growing in New Englandéeversince it was suggested in Boston that the blockades and delays in thes shipment’ of freight past New York into New England could be ob- viated' in 1arge: measure by water shipment through the St. Lawrence to Bostoit. Nétw England is likely te take her stand on the side of the Great LaKesiroute. The interest’ of the western coast is based upon: the fact that whereas now her products are coming into Atlantic ports and from them into’the interior by rail, much cheaper transportation would be furnished to the far interion by the lake route. a Developtients of this' character offset the continued ‘manifestation of Toatility o the part of New York, the latest expression of ‘which is found in® @ speech by Govermor Miller last Saturday night before .the Buffalo Ghnmgiq °f"$ ree; The governor professed no hostility 6 the St. Law- Tence route: ny personal or local reason, but, to be actuated wholly by what he;contended was the larger public interest to be served by saving the sunig necessary for joint construction of the St. Lawrence canal for domes- tic ‘impi¥ovements. ‘He ‘also” pleaded for what he called fair treatment of New -Yorkj swhich has spent large sums on her barge canal without govern- fnent aid —Minneapolis Tribune. V. THEY COME TOO EASY Tn England, during the past year, there were 4,041 divorces granted, which s considered a fearful state of affairs by the English people, and it is, but nothing compared to the record of the United States. During the year 1920 there were 138,000 divorces granted in this country. ;Puring the last 20.years, in this land of the free and home of many a divorcee, there were 3,767,182 people given freedom from the matrimonial yoke, which involved Abslit 5,600,000 minor children, whose homes, happy. and otherwise, were Yroketi-dp. The above would indicate that marriage is looked upon as a gamble, a temporary tie-up to be broken at any moment they might think pYoper, ' Divorces are secured too easily in our land.—Stillwater Gazette. . 5 Z_ifday schoplat 9:46 No attention paid to anonymous contributions.
