DR.. Aylesworth began by describ-
ing the change which Is going on In
the work of all educational institu-
tions by better fitting the boys and
girls for the active work of the
world. The old way was to educate
all of our children for the profess
sions-medical. legal and minister
ial--when statistics showed that but
Is per cent of the college graduates
threw the others out into the world
without anything of benefit.
We now give them mining, cleo
trical and civil engineering, and
some knowledge of the mechanical
arts, besides knowledge OF entomolo-
gy, agriculture, horticulture and
many other lines, while the young
women are taught domestic science.

SO much Latin and Greek, when ma
ture study developed the mind fully
as rapidly and powerfully az those

About fifty persons have already

A reception was rendered In the

Mr.. Shonts spoke on Transports
