EDUCATION OF THE UNFIT.

Too Much Attempted In the Present
scheme of Learning.
The education OF the unfft Is another
problem which has come up to bother
our pedagogues and it is one which is
bound up also in the great problem OF
undcrfeeding, says American Medicine
There are SO many men writing on this
topic as to give the impression that we
are attempting too much IN our exten
sive educational schemes. IT il now
known that every brain has limit be-
yond which it cannot he edHaked-a

drop out of school at certain grades
and those who are continued beyond
their proper limit are merely injured
thereby. Many a splendid mechanic
has thus been educated into a poor
preacher who half starves the rest OF
his life.
1t is now even limited that many Of
our new types OF immigrants are mere
hewers Of wood and drawers Of water
as their ancestors have been from time
mmemoral. and that any edueation
merely units them for the battle Of life
If all these surmises are true they are
bound TO shake the very foundation OF
our present order of things.
The theory that there are minds now
migrating to our shores which cannot
possibly be trained into condition fit
for citizenship will naturally be re-
scented by those who have bulit Mp our
present school system to train men to
equality. Yet it is time to stop and
think little.
Every autumn the papcrs Of the
larger cities are much concerned over
the inadequate school facilities and
publish dreadful statistics of The thou
sands of pupils who must be placed OH
halftime. yet it has long been known
that in London schools the halftimers
who work half Of each day really
progress faster than those who go to
school all day.
Have we not upset nature too Fnick
ly in our schools also? 'fIle mothers
who cannot care for their children send
them to school not to be educated. but
to get rid of them. In admitting them
are we not already far Oh the way
toward that socialism with it's free
lunches, which is SO rspugnant to
American family independence? Wheth
err or not we are educating che unit.
it is quite evident that our lower
grade schools are taking the place of
the family. The feeding of the hungry
among them is but little step beyond

Stewart Patton In his text book On Psy-
chiatry says it Is the duty OF physl-
clans to warn against educating those

women take pains to see that the beau
tiful blossoms used in making their
homes attractive for an hour or so In
one afternoon are not left to wlther
and die. Where the affair Is a large
one the bulk OF the flowers are sent to
some hospital and the centerpiece on
the table is divided among the last
guests. each being given half a dozen
roses or n handful OF daffOdis as a
souvenior OF the afternoon. At church
weddings it Is considered lucky for the
guests to posses themselves of a rose
or lily from the chancel.

her reception decorations. drives down
