Common sense makes this plain. Far be it from the writer to wish to deny to boys and girls any needed recreation in the form of athletics, social diversions or vaca- tions. His desire. is to center the mind of the public upon-the fact, apparent enough to the observant person, that we are losing sight of work—real work—and banking too. much ppon a_good time; mek- ing the field of education a flowery Pa of intellectual ease, stirred by the redolent breezes of . vacuous movies and delectable story books, Too many are looking upon educa- tion, not as_a business, but as a pastime. _ Something cannot. be had over books without effort, any more than in the world of trade. When other matters suchas those mentioned above rather than les- sons fill the mind, lessons will not be learned.

LIGHTS BY LAPS VIA- SEA EDWARD R. ARMSTRONG (INSET) AND HIS "“SEADROME” (ABOVE) WHICH HE A {posed to the dance in its regular and alloted avenues. No thoughtful person will that our public system of educa- tion is a failure. The system is not at fault but its administrac- tion, or in other words the vay we use cur opportunities is at fault. There are breakers ahead, if we do not set for ourselves higher standards. The fact that twenty- five per cent of the men in the army, drafts were unable to read ordinary army orders aright, that the educational level a the country as a whole, is no higher than the seventh grade, and that we hold the ninth place among na- tions answers the question of our regards school training. Let it be observed that believing a thing does not make it so, though ii es the believer; we have ourselves into beieving but it will work no longer. Let us begin, therefore, to do better work, also more work, not play | work with goody-goody time, half time attendance, picture book interest and vacations, To this end we must eliminate the things that stand in the way, some cf which were mentioned above. Need they be mentioned again? As to the cause of the poor pre- paration o® many pupils and students, which no one will deny. let the blame not be laid at_ the feet of youth, as a class. Youth is not supposed to lead, but to be led. Boys and girls are not su’ posed to do the planning as to the method in education, or to deter- mine the subject matter, or to narrow the meets and bounds: in mental and social activities in one direction and to enlarge them in another. t is not theirs to carve in the soul the ideals of life. part, and a very large part, we must admit, of the American peo- ple need to realize that proficiency in bocks is more than fine schoo- houses, top-heavy courses of study and high taxes. That it is more than sweet girl graduates parad- ing the land with daintily tied diplomas and of young men who when winning them, their diplomas we mean, were more interested in sport, cheap books and movies than in their studies. Let it be understood that the young women are as much attracted by outside forces as the young men. The fundamental facts that should be -impressed ypon_ the minds of students are that prepar ation for life depends upon honest efforts constantly put forth; that there must be a saying, “good-bye” to an easy time. To the degree that the gublic learns this will the boys .and girls be more sober minded about school and_ school ivities, more sedate living, and deeper thinking. The father’s well- nigh unbearable burden of school taxes may not then have become appreciably less heavy, but the son’s tax burden of regret will have become _ quite negligible. School life wil stand for ‘more than false glory and superficial thinking. Thought is the soul of life. There is too little thinking in education today. . ., Friends, we are not willing, let us say again, to lay the faults so apparent in the wake of the school, to youth as a class. This generation is all right in itself. Insofar as it is following evil lines, or loose lines, failing there- by to prepare for tomorrow it is doing so because the road has been opened to it, or because the bars have been laid down, to roam at will. We must, in order to get a hundred per cent return on the time and money spent, get a dif- ferent educational view point. The people must act together.

In thi ing of this ideal, teachers not excused. They must be leaders thereunto in thought and through personal in- uence. Only teachers with ideals that satisfy, that is with a longing for something nobler and truer can create such ideals in the heart of young people. Nevertheless, the greatest factor is the home,— the fathers and mothers—yes, and the taxpayers and citizens in gen- eral. In solemn hush let it be said that those who create the spirit of an age should not con- demn that age. This age as no other demands preparation,—a_ready* knowledge" and power to think clearly, a love of books and an appreciation of the things that abide. These things are not brought about in a day by superficial teaching or by the pur- suit of the follies of life. Let us then eliminate public school danc- ing_as a school “function,” the “commercialized” movie, — cheap books, cull the holidays, put spec- ial‘days to their intended use and to book tasks and do away with sport for the sake of sport. Let us teach that there is no expellence without great labor, that only ex- cellence pays, that the getting of wisdom is a business and _ that the schoolroom is a place of busi- ness. All believe in education; none should make a pretense 0 it! Another phase! In _ preparing boys and girls for tomorrow’s du- jties let us not lose sight of their development along higher mater- ialislic lines. Without losing sight of how best to raise hogs for the largest profits, how best to till the soil, how best to build bridgest and skyscrappers, how to east up accounts the quickets, and how to secure the largest possible balance of international trade we must give adequate attention to that side of life which cannot be taken apart by the scalpel or affected by drugs; which cannot be weighed on the scaes of commerce or bar- teredgfor gold; which cannot be| reduced to a formula or fathomed by the intellect—the soul. A ma- terialistie course of study with the humanities left out is not edu- cation: We may as well expect] ” moral, aside from religious train- ing, to develop the spiritual na- ture. Look at this picture! More than c i © ate; an average training equal on- ly to that of a seventh grade pupil, an eighty per cent attendance upon school; one-half of the school enrollment making a promotion grade of eighty per cent or less; many graduates unprepared to do| ? higher scholastic work; one-fourth of those in the army drafts unable to interpret an ordinary militar: |! order understandingly! And, leok at this picture also! The public school dance; the commercialized, unnatural movie, a mental and moral disintegrating force; late hours; manufactured excuses for non-attendance,—draw the rest of the picture yourself. Look ahead! Have we a vision? The vision of America, a generg- tion, a hundred years hence, ai beyond, with American ideals bas- ed on sound education, not for a class, a sect, or an interest, but for all; not scrambled‘ patched up, mostly and halt, an excuse, a pre- tense? Yes, an education in which thought shall be the soul of schoo! life; an education that shall in- clude a - culture of life’s nobler side, making the withering plea- sures an aversion and a loathing.
