MORE PRACTICAL EDUCATION.


Locally and from every corner OF
the country we are hearing this week
attacks upon the theoretical school
systems which prepare students only
TO be scholars or presidents and leave
untouched that practical training
which the vast majority OF young men
need--industria or commercial train
Ing which will At them to do real
things and earn real livings when they
get out OF school.
There Is too much OF a tendency To
fit young men for college and not
enough attention paid to the young
man who expects to go into business
or into practical farming.
For generations as one educator al
Denver pointed out yesterday. the
business man has supported the
schools OF the country and yet the
schools have never given any partic.
ular attention to the business mans
future. The study has too often been
along the lines OF Greek and Latin and
not often enough along the lines OF the
work which the student, leaving
school, will be required to do.
1t is coming more important that
a young man should determine what
industry or profession he expects to
follow, and then concentrate his
school preparation along that line. To
spend time up until the age of rs
studying general things, before even
determining what pursuit Is to be
chosen, handicaps young man in
getting into the work of his life.
Before 80 man should he well es.

men have done their greatest works.

students are turned out with a smat.

when Il comes to effectively doing
anything of Importance in the way of
business.
One educator at Denver made a
plea for great university of com.

teach how to carry on various lines
of business with the greatest efficien-
