To Hc Ldit0r Of the Dispatch:
Noting with pleasure your editorial Of
advice to our people IN regard to educa-
ton, shall venture, with your permits
sion, TO express mole fully the necessity
and advantages Of advanced instruction.
In the first place, however. | recognize
with regret the great tendency that IS
prevailing OF putting our boys in busi-
ness as soon as they have acquired de-
gree of education that will enable them
TO perform, with apparent satisfaction,
Their allotted duties The almighty dol
lar seems the ruling passion. Parents
consider only the present. They speak
of what their boys are now earning and
seem content. Suppose, however, they
view facts in the light of experience.
Suppose they compare the future OF the
uucducated youth with that OF the cdu-
Gated, and then deduce their con
illusions. Doubtless their first express
sion would be that they had never
considered the matter in that connec
ton. Any boy. uneducated as well as
educated, can perform the mental duties
of business but when We arrive Mt the
moro important tasks, when We have TO
deal with dollars and cents in their rela-
tons OF cause and effect, when We are
thrown III contact with the world and
have 10 stand upon ourOwn basis when,
N fine, We have 10 view everything IN q
practical light and need apractical mind.
then comes IN the value of advanced
education. Our parents grossly misin-
tcrpret the idea and intent Of a school.
They drag It down into the slough Of
contempt when they think that ITS sole
object Is to instil the paitry principles
and facts that We find in our school
books. True. we do so but We use this
method Of arriving at a much grander
effect. The object OF TN education
is to teach man how to think ;
to teach him how to view correct
~ the problem If daily life, and by
SO doing 10 apply the proper remedy TO
cure the disease. Men say that business
requires a practical man, and that this
practice cannot be acquired in a school.
This, then, they affirm Is another reason
why they take their sons from school at
SO early an age. OF what kind of prac-
tice do they speak =? Do they speak Of
the practice OF leaving home after dark
and returning after midnight OF pur-
suing a degree of debauchery that will
finally result in a mental and physical
wreck? Ii so, they would better be re-
tanned at school, for this habit is grow
