HOLDS LEARNING
OF TRADE VITAL
HARVARD PRESIDENT SAYS LAW
SHOULD COMPEL THIS IN
STRUCTION.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 70. Dr.
Charles w. Eliot of Harvard univer-
sity declares that "men are not equal
so are children yet less -equal,' and
states that children should be assign
ed to certain trades and compelled
by law to learn these trades. DR..
Eliot says:
II assert that it is perfectlv proper
to enact laws which will give the
teachers the authority to sort oat the
boys and girls, assign to each the
trade at which he or she seems best
adapted, and the law shodld then
compel these children to be trained
for these trades.
This sentiment, l see, has already
impressed some of you as being I'M
democratic, I think that It is not so.
Democracy is based on theory that
all men are equal; all men are not
equal and never can be. Men of prac-
tical mind have long set aside that
platitude for what 1t is worth.
"And as men are not equal so are
children yet less equal. We see how
in a single family. with the same her
edity, same environment, same oppor-
tunities, brothers and sisters enter
widely diverging strata of society by
natural difference
"Thus I find that nature often con.
f1icts with what idealists regard as
democracy's principles. and when ma
ture and democracy clash democracy
