OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM
UPON WRONG BASIS

Utility.
MUST cMANGE OUR PLAN

The Fargo Independent, of whom
our friend, w. w. Liggett, formerly
Of this city, is editor, in recent issue
of that admirable weekly, expresses
our sentiments so exactly upon our
educational system, that we have taxi
en- the liberty to borrow the editorial
in full. The editorial is entitled
"Overcrowded Professions and Is as
follows:
Modern educational thought points
clearly to the fact that the educa-
tional systems in use in this country
are topheavy and impractical. They
produce too many doctors, lawyers
and newspaper men-too few clergy
men. by. the way-and not enough
craftsmen. They are built to pro-
duce professional men, when the
great majority Of the pupils are un-.
able to finish any course they now
provide, but are forced to go out and
learn how to make a living, equipped
with smattering of learning, only q,
small percentage of which is of any
use to them at all, and almost none
Of which is Of immediate practical
benefit. ~''F H.
There need be no occasion for won
der, then, If it is discovered that the
professions are :overcrowded. They
are overcrowded,r and while there is
Railways room at the top" for those
who make unusual use of their ad-
vantages, there are in all professions
many men who would have done bet
ter If they had turned their energies
to other pursuits. -. - r. y
At recent, medical convention, in
which several thousands of physicians
were. gathered, attention was drawn
to the oversupply Of doctors in this
country. The surplus was attributed
to the fact that the medical schools
are graduating: every year. $4,000 to
$4,000 doctors, when the country real
ly needs only about Y, Sod new ones,
each year. The doctor who quoted
theseSfigures blamed It upon the
medical scollegs, but he should have,
blamed. it upon the public schools.
With scattering exceptions, the aver

present social wrong. This promise is
altogether wrong. Rather is the oppo-
site true. It is the business of the
church to create social unrest. And
the church is doing it!
There are no labor troubles IN
Darkest Africa. But the Christian
missionaries who are being sent there
will create them. They will point out
to the natives their low standard Of
physical, mental and moral life. They
will then show them the higher ideals
of Jesus Christ, and urge them to at
tain to the splendid possibilities OF
the better life. Naturally, there will
then come dissatisfaction with their
present state, and there will follow
spirit Of unrest, which will manifest
itself in the hunger for the ideal.
This has been the history Of the
church.
It is only after the church has pre-
pared the way by sending It's best
men and women into darkened lands
who often suffer: death-and poured
millions Of dollars into these fields,
that the professional social agitator
steps in and builds upon the founda-
tons already laid by the. church.
Then, in all Likelihood, he will turn
around and denounce the church for
it's non effectiveness. He never lays
the foundation. He never makes tho
sacrifice. He is simply the irrespon-s
sible critic, whose very safety and
comfort has been made possible by
the devotion OF the martyrs whose
blood was sacrificed for him.
Have you ever heard OF social
propagandtst going to cannibal
island to build up an ideal social sys-
tenn? They surely need his help. But
not much! It's easier, and safer, too.

It is universally acknowledged that
the education of women as we'll as
men should be as perfect as possible,
and should therefore be shaped in &C
cordance with actual needs, and based
on the most improved methods.
Let it be borne in mind that by
education we mean infinitely more
than a mere parrot-like familiarity
with the technical definitions and
problems of school text books.
We are not belittling these, but
simply suggesting there are those
equally. if not more important, to the
development of the model man or
woman.
Any instrumentaHty that develops
the Judgment and enlarges the ca
pacity of the mind is just as much a
means Of education as school books.
We are pleased to note that our
Heights people are waking up to a
realization of the principle herein
suggested, and that our girls are to be
reckoned with in educational facfli-
ties, and will soon have commodious
croquet ground, for the development
of muscle and the cultivation of the
argumentatfve spirit. Some contend
that women need no training in the
latter direction, but that is only an

Foolishness Of Looking Across

Of Enterprise. -.

An intelligent German, visiting the
United States and travelling in the
west, remarked to an American &C
qua1ntance: Emperor William is
perfectly satisfied with his own peo-
pie. He would not exchange them for
any other people on earth. But he
does envy you the possession of such
country as this. What would he do
If he had it? Why, he would set
himself with fierce enthusiasm to de-
develop its resources. He would find
profitable work for every idle man
and all the idle capital He would
cease to worry about spheres of in
fluence In the Orient and markets in
South America. He would make
Germany busy, prosperous and con-
tented at home that she would have
no time to think about the rest Of the
world
Initiating Other Nations:
You Americans who are trying to
initiate Germany as military en-
pire fail to comprehend the very diff
ferent situations of the two coun-
tries. We seek foreign conquests be-
cause we have exhausted our posi-
bilities at home. while you overlook
your home possibilities in your ambi-
ton to occupy other fields which are
not to be compared to your western
states and territories as an outlet for
your population, capital and manu-
factures."
The greatest possibilities of con-
quest and occupation the world has
! known lie before this country just
now. Uncle Sam has no excuse Tor
weeping for other worlds to conquer.
He has hardly begun the conquest of
his own territory. 1t is not necessary
Tor him to strain his eyes looking
across the seas for fields of enterprise.
The possibilities of enterprise in the
United States are sufficient to en-
gage his attention for generations ia
