Top Heavy Educational system.

"What is the use of piling on higher education without giving many the op- portunity to get it?'' asks Elliott Flow CT in The North American Review. There are sense and reason in the in- quiry Mir. Flower proceeds to point out how overcrowded our common schools in the towns and cities are, so much so that the country over more than 100, GOO pupils run the streets be- cause there is no schoolhouse room for them. We have not one trade and tech nical school where at least ten are need ed. All this time rich people are mak- ing donations and bequests to colleges and universities and piling up benefao- tions to them.
 MT. Flower wisely suggests that now the benevolent rich turn their attention awhile to the crying needs of the chil. dren of the common people, those on whom the real welfare of this republic will ill future depend, and give them an ordinary education and technical training also. He says;
 In spite of the fact that it is of much more importance that the child should have q rudi- mentary education than it is that the youth should go to college we exert ourselves much moro for the latter than for the former Philanthropists who are looking about for ways to spend money to the best educational advantage can refrain from establishing uni versailles, colleges and scholarships until those who have to fight for even the lowest common school education have been cared for Accord ing to the best figures at hand we are spend ing S8 Q year to student in the grammar schools and S100 q year to student in the higher educational institutions, and it is all out of proportion It is evident that the child has difficulty in getting its $8 worth of educa- tion, while the older student is principally troubled by the fact that he has so great se- lection that he is bewildered and in view of this fact it may not be out of place to suggest to educators and philanthropists that they keep their eyes the ground for awhile, They have been watching the heavens too long.

oyercrowded Professions.

AS means of making living the pro- fessions of law and medicine have been much overworked in our country. So has writing for newspapers and mag azines It is perhaps not too much to say either that there are likewise more ministers of the gospel than there are pulpits for them to fill. Doctors signs in town or city are as plentiful as beer saloons, while lawyers offices are only little less numerous.
 Present conditions indicate that i'll choosing a life work it will be much better for an average young man to en- ter the commercial or manufacturing line or else to become first class farmer and stock breeder than to be doctor, lawyer or preacher. People must always eat; they must always wear clothing, and they need thousands of things that will always have to be made and sold.
 The editor of The Century, in dis cussing this subject, gives it as his judgment that it is vastly better to be q successful business man, with abundant income, than to write an ordinary book. He quotes approyingly the remark of q millionaire whose son had written g book and proposed then to quit litera- ture and enter his fathers business firm. The millionaire said:
 "A book is read by few. A large commercial or manufacturing enter prise, well conducted, is blessing to the world at large"
