IS PROFITABLE,

In the June number Of the Southern
Furm Mngazine of Baltimore, Hon. J.
l.. NJ. Curry, distinguished for his
labor, in Connection with the Peabody
and Slater fund in behalf of Southern
education. writes Of the importance
Of an educated citizenship. He says
that the South now recognizes that
the cost Of general education is the
most legitimate public charge, and
skilled, and in constant and practical
union with directed intelligence, and
argues from that, that industrial
education or manual training should
be made part Of all public school
instruction. He insists upon adequate
revenues for the public-school system,
well administered by able officers,
well supported by public opinion.
That money thus spent yields a
handsome profit, DIR. Curry points to
Massachusetts as persuasive object
lesson and says:
What she profusely spends on her
common schools is not waste, nor a
mere con iectural, speculative invest
ment Besides returns in advanced
civilization, with all its consequent
intellectual and moral values, which
cannot be estimated, she gets back
early and adequate dividends in
hard cash. in utilitarian values.
For her longer average schooling,
double what it is in the Southern
States, She shows an average daily
wealth-producing power Of each man,
woman and child of seventy-three
cents, while for the nation at large it
is only forty CENTS
DR.. Curry takes the position that
industrial education or manual train
public school instruction, adding
that certain schools have helped to
demonstrate the feasibility and
utility Of combining manual training
with the ordinary literary course.
Along this line, the Doctor says:
las it has been found that science
may be protitably taught along with
the classics to great advantage OF
the student, 50 methods of education,
which recognize 1.-the bread-and
better" side, the practical realities of
life, combining ultilitarian and intel
lectual values, are helpful to the
aesthetic and ethical nature, without
depreciating the traditional curricu-
Ium of language and mathematics.
Hand labor and brain labor make a
valuable partnership.
In this practical age, one of the
most important questions that con-
fronts the young men upon the very
Threshold of the breadwinning con-
test is, how to do something in the
best and quickest way, instead OF
following in the old and slow track
Of making his way through life by
main strength and awkwardness-a
way which, necessarily, places him
always at a disadvantage in his com
petition with his fellows who are
equipped with the scientific knowl-
edge of doing things in a better and
more expeditions manner. Therefore,
the institutions of learning which
form the co-partnership of brain labor
and hand labor, referred to by DR.
Curry, are doing a great work and
deserves hearty encouragement
