THE VALUE OF EDUCATION.

In view of the enormous sum which
America spends annually on education
what return does 1t get? This question
has been answered as follows by two
prominent educators, Thomas c.
Chamberlin, formerly president of the
University of Wisconsin. and Albion
W. Small, dean Of the graduate de-
partments OF the same institution.
lnasmueh as these same men are at
the top of their profession it will be
interesting to see both in what degree
the educational system of the country
benefits the country. and to what de-
gree the system achieves what it sets
out to do.
Briefly. according to these men, the
concrete things that education will do
are these:
l. Give the masses of the nation a
more judicial attitude ard better pow
ers for wise judgment in public and
private matters,
9. Make large additions to the class
Of men who know how to think and
who do think as they pursue their
daily work.
8. Cure the general public of the ten
dency to rush to conclusions without
investigating facts and to make snap
Judgment under erroneous belief.
4. Cure the money Madness" by
giving the nation mental and moral
view point which will enable it to
place mere materially in proper bal
ance as against ideas and ideals.
5. Improve state and federal legis-
lation by instituting departments in
the state universities devoted to spe-
cific statutes as they are passed and
maintaining detailed record as to
their history and effect.
6. Improve conditions of life in ru-
raj communities by making life more
attractive so that the evil of over
crowded cities will be lessened.
Z. More education will hold the ma

ton together as cement until 1t has
adjusted itself to new religions and
moral convictions based on humani-
tarianism, or common sense expedien-
cy for nation and individual.
There seems little doubt that real
education does accomplish the things
which these professors claim for it.
And though our percentage Of the real
thing may be small there is no doubt
that as much Of it as is real is bcnefi-
cial in the ratio in which 1t is genuine.
1t is we'll to point out, however, that
the country is by no means as we'll
educated as is commonly believed and
1t is also well to point out that all edu-
cation is in the nature of an invest
ment the benefits of which will be gar
nered in the future.
1t is the common knowledge Of all
those interested with the problem of
the great cities, that It is the school
which transforms the human raw ma
terial which is imported into our coun-
try into citizenship. Little can be &C
complished with the alien-the con of
the alien who goes to school becomes
the American. 1t is significant fact
that the German empire after the con-
r trn 30
Franco-Prussian war changed the
school master on the day of occupa-
ton The American government is
benefcent toward the Filipino in the
matter of education simply because
the school turns out good and loyal
citizens. Likewise the Russian, Per-
sian and Turkish governments have
always fostered ignorance because it
made the people submit to the auto.
cratic government.
The conclusion to be drawn from
| this is the same conclusion which the
two men before mentioned have
Drawn. mat the more education, the
more liberty, good government, benc.
fits in health. enjoyment, and sane liv-
| ing we shall have. Nor is this all The
more education, the more efficient in
| dividual as a member of the social fab
rio from a mental and moral stand
| point.
| America is just waking up to the
fact that there is something else in
the world beside money. But money
can be put to no better use than to
further the cause of education.
There is much to be done not sc
very far off. In Kentucky there are
5000 school trustees who can neither
| read nor write. Half the children OF
| school age are not in school, Indiana
is not at the top even in the matter
of literacy. Is Indiana educated
enough?
