 The philosophy of our form of civil ization and progress demands education that can be readily and effectively ap- piled to the solution of everyday prob lems and tho manipulation of ordinary enterprises. When our young mon and young women get their diplomas they should be qualified to render intelligent and useful service in different fields of employment without waiting to learn how to adapt their knowledge to the prevailing conditions. To be gradu- ate should imply fitness for the work that society provides, and not simply a scholastic equipment that is useless outside of the recitation room.-St Louis Globe Democrat.
