MIR. HUNTINGTON EXPLAINS.
He Says That Education in Itself Is
Not Harmful.

Greenville, Tex, July 30.-Collis p. Hun
tirgton has written a letter to Judge V.
w. Grubbs, chairman of The state com
mittee of the industrial commission ex-
planning his recent speech at San Francis
co, wherein he said that the youth of the
country was being over-educated.
Mr.. Huntington says that education is
not harmful in itself, but the generally
of young men spend too many of perhaps
the most valuable years of their lives in
the schoolroom. The mass of boys, he de
clares, by earring their education beyond
the point required to enable them TO cope
with the plac ical details of business, gain
a positive distasle for labor that does not
come under the head "genteel" and as a
result young men are crowding into poorly
paid places, where they do no have 10 so /
their hands or do manual labor ana go5d
chances for Promotion go begging in many
cases.
This condition Of things, he says, is Gu
rious and must be explained before the
present system Of educating young men in
this country can be called successful.
