SOME DEFECTS OF OUR
EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

For all the educational system
seems TO be aware, every boy who
enters the primary grades expects TO
graduate, spend four years In high
school. pass to college and eventual
ly become a professional or busi-
ness man.
The schools do not seem TO know
that any women outside the teaching
profession earn their living, That
thousands upon thousands of chill
dren. girls as we'll as boys. are OBJ
llged by the hard conditions OF life
10 go 20 work with their hands at the
age OF IA seems TO be utterly nm
known.
The best proof that the education
al system has Jagged behind Ia the
fact that II Is impossible 20 induce
the great majority OF children 10 re-
main in school a day longer than the
law obliges them TO. They fee from
the schoolroom at "a, most OF them
TO go TO work. and the rest OF them
10 learn work They want 10 learn
To live, and they are not taught that
lesson In the schoolroom.
At the time the public school sys-
tenn was placed on a national basis
all the educators were agreed on one
common Ideal. which was that the
schools must be democratic. Courses
OF study must be founded on the
theory OF the nb7olute equality of all
American citizens. Therefore. the
curriculum was arranged as a series
OF ladders, leading from the primary
school 10 the grammar school; from
the grammar school 10 the hifh
school; from the high school 20 col
lege. and from college 60 the White
House
This was Intended to be demo
cratic program. II was. In fact. en-
tirely aristroeratic. since II rebound
cd 10 the advantage OF the children
of the prosperous and the Intellectual
classes.
Fully 95 Der cent OF school chit
iren never advance beyond the gram
mar grades, and less than 2 per cent
Df high school pupils pass on 10 col
ege
Now a truly democratic system of
public school administration would |
lse these facts for It's main basis |
Since an overwhelming majority OF |
children will never receive any more |

ary schools the proper elementary |

CHINESE EDITOR HAS
NO FAITH IN JApS

San Francisco. Oct. 22.--"Person-
ally, / have no faith In Japan's pro-
fessions OF friendship for America"
said Ng Poon Chew, editor OF Chang
Sain Yat Po. the leading Chinese
daily paper of America, in a state
ment TO the United Press today. when
he was shown the cable message from
Toxic regarding the proposed confer
ence.
II think that Japan's enthusiasm
for the proposed conference OF Pa
cihc powers is two-faced," he contin-
ued. Japan is well-known the world
over as a greedy nation, and II she
cannot head OF the so-called alliance
between America and China, Il is her
greatest wish TO participate i'm such
an alliance. II would fall to her lot
TO protect her trade In China, In the
event that n China-American alliance
Is formed and she Is left out OF Il,
and japan would do so at the great
est risk of war with any other nation
on earth.

An Arabian Rarher.

The usual Arab instrument for shay
ing, declares Mr.. NJ. w. Hilton-Simp-
son, the author of "Algiers and Be
yond,' is the ordinary sheath knife,
on which the Arab gets very fine
edge. He adds that when in camp in
the Haouamed country he has seen q
man kill and skin a sheep and be
shaved with the same knife In less
than half an hour.
s'The BARRIERS in the market place at
Biskra are certainly a most rough and
ready lot, and the sight Of one of them
shaving a head is not easily forgotten.
One day l saw a camel driver go up to
one of them with head Of hair quite
as long and thick as an ordinary well
groomed Englishman's. He took seat
upon rickety chair, and the barber,
having moistened the hair with wa
ter, proceeded to shave him as bald
as coot with an old European razor
without making the very slightest cut
upon his skin No soap was used, and
the operation took only about three
