PUBLIC EDUCATION.

School teaching has come up through vari.
GUS stages of evolution; it has baked and
Iimped, and in a general way any progress
realized has been slow and unsteady. Keep
ing school has been pastime, a livelihood, Il
| business and vacation. Teaching has been
| in transition state, having not yet reached
| the dignity of a profession. We have been
| climbing the ladder educationalIy; we are
| beginning to reach an elevation from which
| one may discern the Promised Land; and we
| are likewise getting in shape to train regular
force of professionals who will be able to 60
over and possess it. Teaching will become
regular profession.
The work of Education is Science and an
Art. The purpose of Art is the accomplish.
ment of fixed result; the object of Science
is to discover rational basis for such CO.
ordinated rules and methods as will most
surely accomplish what is desired. None but
those who are professionally trained and pro-
fessionaly equipped for school work are
able to do this to the best advantage.
The children in the school room must be
looked upon as prospective citizens in the
community. Their training should be such as
will best fit them for the complex duties of
citizenship in the multiform relations of soci,
ETY.. Proper training is such that the children
will be comfort to parents, help to them
selves, benefit to the country, and able in an
all-round way to make a success of life. The
professional teacher is Que who has mastered
this complex relationship; he must know and
must be able to apply 10 detail the, methods
and principles that will develop exemplary
citizens.
An educated man is not permitted to prac
tice in court of justice as a lawyer; he is not
allowed to practice in the sick room as a doc.
tor, until proof has been given of professional
fitness after careful preparation followed by
an examination.
Normal Colleges and departments of Peda-
gogy in higher Institutions are supplying an
equal professional training for those who pro-
pose to make teaching their life work. Indi-
cations are that in the schools of the future
the children will be under the guidance of
experts, and not in the hands of pedant.
Most of the teachers of this county are lift
ing themselves to higher STAN ards by Institute
work. by the Reading Circle, and by the care
full use of educational journals.

Eight points gained from drop kicks by
Right Halfhack Sutton and Quarterback
Stevenson, of George Washington College,
offset the FIVE points Western Maryland scored
by hard-earned touchdown and gave the
former well-deserved victory over their old
rivals on Van Ness Field Saturday afternoon
at Washington. Both of the field goals were
kicked from the 20-yard line, and on both oc-
casions George Washington had seven yards
20 make up on the third down. and fully Illus
trated how invaluable good drop. kickers are
to a team under the revised rules. Steenerson's
kick came at critical moment. when defeat
or victory for his team depended on whether
he was successful or not. Only five minutes
of play remained and seven yards to go on the
third down, when he dropped back to the 70
ward line and booted the ball squarely over
The bars for count The forward and double
pass were tried by both teams. and IN most
cases were crudely and poorly executed.
Western Maryland's touchdown was made
after hard work by Thomas. The ball had
been carried to Washington's three yard line.
where Adkins was entrusted to take It over.
He fumbled, but Thomas was right on the spot
and fell on the ball across the line for touch
down. Adkins failed to kick goal.
