 The truth is that many of the old ideas of education cannot be adhered to now. and especially is this true of the South. Once the rich mans son was educated Tor a life of ease and enjoyment. while 1t was hardly eonsid cred necessary to educate the poor boy. as he would have to work for iiv- ing and had no need of education for that. such ideas win no longer hold good as they once aid. The rich boy may find it necessary to earn . liv- ing by actual labor. while the poor one will find that proper education win be good help to him ct his trade or business.

PRESIDENT WILSON AND POLITICS.
 lpraaident Wnadrnrz Wilson deoIares

PRESIDENT WILSON AND POLITICS.
 President woodrow Wilson declares that one of the greatest needs of the country is for men who will enter poll tkles early in life and remain in as . matter of duty to the country. He thinks the country needs "a large body of independent men who will stay in politics for lifetime"
 Prof. Wilson does not refer to what Shakespeare calls the "scurvy politi- clan" who makes politics a trade and who is in it for what he can make out of it for himself. There are men of this class, plenty of them, in all the political parties. The principles of the party or the welfare of the Government and the people are of lit- tie interest to them, but the desire to feather their own nests, or to ate tain to position and power for their own advantage is usually the dominat- ing factor in their actions and lives.
 Neither do we understand Prof. Will son, by the term independent men," to refer to those who belong to no party and have no binding political afiliations. We are bound to have po- litical parties as long as we have an elective and representative form of government, and 1t is no disparagement to the character or manhood of any man to belong to & party and be loyal to its principles and established poli- oies. That is a privilege belonging to our citizenship, and a privilege which all men may enjoy without stint.
 what President Wilson means, if we understand him correctly. is men who belong to and work for a party for the good they may be able to do; mon who will wear no collars or shackles. who will not fall in with every folly or fad that may come along, and who will not bow down to every self selected Moses who proposes to lead his party A man can be a party man without sacrificing his personal independence and manhood. Enough of such men can not only guide and direct their party in the right way. but can be of incalculable advantage to the coun' try by bringing about the election Oi good men and the enforcement oi sound policies of government. Int longer men of this class remain ir politics the better will be their Op' uortunities for learning what is need. cd for the general welfare and tho
 more influential will likely be thei influence in directing their party fl the right way. President Wilson fl correct as to the needs of the coun' try.

The Portland oregonian seems a lite tie sarcastic in speaking of the mod ern disposition to teach the useful as well as the ornamental fin the public sch hools. It says:
 The lesson that education must take a firm hold on life is one that all ot us have to learn through tribulations of the spirit and deep humility. We have always been taught that educa- ton was something that would save us from work. It comes hard to ad. init that it's principal use Is to teach us how to work. What Is the use or going to school unless as a graduate one can live upon the labor Of otherst What indeed2 It VIII pc q ioas. ionG fat of their sorry old fetishss But the little bit of use of toole' that can be taught in the public schools will come their children are taught trades--if they are to learn trades: but our sys- tenn of free education, aS the majority conceive 1t. is to prepare the young to live without manual or mechanical la Dor.
 If The oregonian will stG1 to think of the vast numbers. both male and female. who are earning a living in some trade or occupation requiring previous training it should not be sur prised to learn that the idea is grad ualIy taking hold of thinking people that it would be well to give more attention in the schools to the work of fitting the boys and girls for mak- ing their way in life as necessity may require or demand.
 This Is a materialistic age and 1t is becoming more so with each passing year. Girls are no longer given to understand that their only object fin life is to wear fine clothes and sit up and make themselves attractive and desirable and catch well-to-do hus- bands. The boys are gradually learn ing that all of them cannot be so well educated to as to be able to live on the labors of others. It Is not well to give boys a finished education" as it Is called, and then let them find themselves forced to enter upon a trade of some kind without any Knowledge
