our century In Drc-emlnently mn age
OF specialization. President Bryan, OF
FRANKLIN College, has forGibly outlined
tho development OF tho tendency and
It's results.
Not Usual Now.
N century ago the mother was cook.
wasbwoman, housecleaner, doctor
nurse. teacher and Governors cabinet.
Tho father was farmer, carpenter,
blacksmith. shoemaker, school super
intendent and policeman. Only a few
years ago many OF the leading colleges
had n professor or history and litera-
ture, and professor Of mathematics,
astronomy iand physics. Seldom to-
day do you find such n combination Of
subjects under one man. From tho
simple undifrcrentlated life OF tho pio-
neers, we have passed to the complex
differentiated life of to-day along ali
lines. AS rulo the minister liz no
longer spiritual farmer. with a good
common school education; tho teacher
is no longer without scholastic and
professional training. A. half-thousand
men are required to make q piano, each
doing his own particular work, and In
tho same way score Of men arc re-
1ulrcd to make shoe. The outcome
Of all this Is that the worlds work
was never SO well done MS 1t Is now.
and the worlds service to the individ-
ual was never SO great as 1t is at tho
present day.
What Bryan snys.
Now, how shall the school curriculum
be modified to meet the demands of
this commercial age. this strenuous
age, this age OF specialization?
Let me quote again from President
Bryan: Our social life is fearfully
diversified; 1t demands skill and ex-
pertness; but this skill must be grated
upon a broad basis Of general culture.
II society Is ever to free itself from
the displaced thousands who, because
of carly and continuous narrow train
ing. do Just one thing or nothing.
because our life Is narrow and intense
is the greatest social reason why no
one should be satisfied with narrow.

Our mos, progressive educators agree
that education must be specialized. but
not until a broad basis for general
culture has been laid in our public and
our high schools.
For these reasons the demand for a
course OF study adapted to various
economic and professional ideals should
be resisted; but there are other de-
mands which call for a rearrangement
of the curriculum according to the de-
mapds of present-day psychology.
These other demands must be met.
Tho studies best suited to tho de-
velopment of the intellectual ac-
tivities OF the child must be chosen
and properly correlated; then difreren-
tiated into special branches of knowl-
edge.

The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1907-12-26

There is going at this moment in the city of
Chicago legal conflict that merits the attention
of the whole nation.
In its history and its course of present events
it illustrates and emphasizes the liquor trafic's
constant and invariable character as law
breaker, the spirit of rebellion as real as, and
more dangerous than, that which fired the
fatal shot in Charleston Harbor in 1861, which
is entertained by the whole liquor power; the
menace to our institutions and to our national
future in the power of Our great cities controlled
and manipulated by the greed and unscrupu-
1ousness of the drink rebels.
Chicago's Sunday closing fight is not tenn
perance question, is not simply question of law
enforcement. The issue is, Shall the lazVfml 70iU

lists rule this cow,tryg
It is a we-known fact of American history
that the first organized resistance ever made to
the lawfully constituted authority of the Amer
ican people, after the acknowledgment of indie
pendence by the government of England, was
the so-called whisky rebellion" President
WASHINGTON was obliged to organize an army of
$4,000 men to subdue this rebellion of whisky
makers and spent in the restoration of the gov

more than one-third of all the other expenses of
the national government in the year 1894, when
this rebellion took place.
From that day to this the liquor business in
the United States has been defiant, law-break-
ing rebel Wherever the people in the exercise
of their sovereign authority, have felt it wise to
lay upon it the hand of Prohibition, there it has
plotted and schemed against the peoples rights,
resorting to every species of fraud and intimida

Again and again. when the people have appealed

in Rhode Island and score of other states, the
liquor traffic has committed high treason to OBJ
scure and nullify the peoples will. Ohio has
made liquor license unconstitutional; the traffic
has conspired with rebel politicians to override
the constitution for years. In national Congress
assembled, the people outlawed the liquor traffic
in the army and the brewers bought the War
Department. bribed the Department of Justice,
gagged the White House and nullified the law
At no point, perhaps, has the rebellion of the
liquor traffic been more pronounced than in the
municipal misrule that exists in great cities.
The defiance of law, the open, fragrant disregard
of the statutes on the part of the saloon in
every city of the United States, has been scan
dial and Kissing, insult to our civilization,
and menace to the perpetuty of our insttu
tions for half century past.
In no part of the country, perhaps, has this

protestants with its blatant, mendacious claim
that it pays enormous and valuable revenue to
the government of the city and of the nation.
In Chicago as elsewhere, no feature of the
saloons lawbrcaking has been so noticeable as
its persistent violation of the so-called Sunday
law.
At the very beginning of the organized history
of the state of Illinois, the men who laid the
foundations of this great commonwealth gave
expression to their belief in the Importance of the
Christian Sabbath and their distrust of the drink
traffic institution in statute that bade the
"tippling house" close its doors on Sunday For
years past such law has stood upon the statute
books of the state of Illinois clear prescription
of the sovereign will of the people of the com

For many years and over considerable parts of
the state this law was enforced, but the defiant
drink rebels of Chicago, ever since the city be-
gan to take upon itself metropolitan proportions,
have obeyed the law more and more grudgingy,
and for years past have not obeyed it at all,
