A NEW SCHOOL IDEA.

Until recently the general idea
~ Of public education has been to
teach children reading writing. math-
ematcs and grammar. II this course
was elaborated, a language was add
ed, or some other branch that is in
Guided under the term "a liberal ed
ucation.'
only in the last decade has It oc-
CURED to our people generally that
there Is another sort of education that
is practical and at the same time use-
tul in preserving our standard Of cit
lzenship. It is a combination Of the
common school branches with in
struction in the crafts.
Since the theory Of public educa-
ton is that in order to make good
citizens they must be educated. isn't
It essential that class OF boys and
girls that are growing up without
draining and with no knowledge Of a
useful occupation should be assisted
In the proper direction? Unfortunate
~ in many Of our States In order to
receive such training it is necessary
10 commit crime or a mlsdemeanor
and be sent TO a reform school. And
many a boy is blest by being sent
there.
The Board Of Education OF Phila-
delphia conducts a number Of sum-
mer schools that are open to any pu-
pil Of the regular schools. Attendance
is not compulsory. and doesn't have to
be, as the children are so interested
that they attend OF their own choice.
The girls are taught sewing and
millinery and are allowed to take
home the articles which they make
while the boys learn carpentry and
other crafts, and their product is their
own.
This sort of education is as useful
10 class as any other. and it is Of
especial value to children that would
otherwise be idle and running the
streets. It puts into the minds OF the
young the idea that they may be use
ful and develops their capacities
along lines which may open to them
rareers Of usefulness and self-reiiance.

EDITORIAL OPINION


From the cleveland Plain Dealer
A report Just issued by the Census
Bureau declares that there has been a
persistent decline OF the birth rate in
the United states since 1860 At the
beginning OF the nineteenth century
the children under 10 years Of age
constituted one-third Of the popula-
ton. At the end Of the century they
were less than one fourth owing to
the absence and inaccuracy OF vital
statistics in this country. the report
is not "A study in birth rates, strictly
speaking, but study in the proper

ton or to the number of women Of
child bearing age The decrease In
the child population has been contin-

exception OF the ten years between
1850 and 1860 but in periods OF twenty
years the decline is regular. The
Census Office offers no suggestion as
to the causes Of this decline. content

The Auto License.

Chester Pa, Times
It was right for the Chester police to
