win of the department OF economics and
sociology in Boston university was intro
duced. He discussed the topic "Democ-
racy in Education" for an hour in an In
teresting manner.
In England, he said, there were among
the unemployed many men of education
and ability irf more than one direction.
But an aristocratic education and preju
dices against engaging in anything ex-
cept the practice OF the profession or
very few other pursuits prevented them
from being successful since they ,were
unified by the education they had re-
ceived for engaging In the many busi-
ness avocations. Graduates OF a school
like the Bryant a Stratton. having OBJ
tanned thorough training along prac-
tical lines, would never find themselves
In such position, he said since men and
women OF ability i'm the branches in
which they had been educated were al
ways in demand.
