Practical Education.
the problems which 9


I'M had to face in our public
chool system has been that of keep
Fling pupils in school through the
High school grades. The extent to
which boys and girls drop out of the
High school courses is strikinsly
shown by comparing the number O.
pupils in the first year with the num-
Der in the last.
Of course many reasons have been
advanced to explain this conditions Of
affairs, and many remedies have been
proposed. AS a matter of fact no one
reason will explain this failure OF
High school pupils to complete their
courses, and no one remedy will avail
to wholly prevent it. Great stress has
been laid upon the tendency of High
schools to lay undue stress upon the
Importance of college preparatory
schools There has been, undoubted-
ly, much force in this criticism. The
High schools have. in a large meas
ure, followed the aims and methods of
the old academies, whose work they
have, in large measure supplanted
1t is not surprising, therefore, that
what may be called the practical
courses, or those which fit young men
and women for business activities
wit To hot ieo Nv
called the higher education should
have been somewhat slow in their de-
velopment. Much is being done, how
ever, to strengthen the public schools
of our country along these lines and
much more is sure to be accomplished
in this direction in years to come.
practical utility" is given more aud
more weight in these days in the lay
ing out of school courses. Manual
training for boys, domestic science for
girls, and commercial education for
both sexes, is doing much to hold the
attendance in our high schools
throughout the full period of the
courses. The School Board Of Au-
gusta has done a great work for pupils
who do not contemplate college
courses, by establishing at our High
school practical, up-to- date CONF
mercial course. 1t will naturally
enough require a few years for the
public to fully appreciate the i'm
portance and value of this addition 70
the educational facilities. We have
faith to believe, however, that this
course will prove a popular one, that
it will attract constantly increasing
of pupils, and that it will
play an important part in keeping up
the annual attendance throughout the
course. With the beautiful and con-
venient addition which has been made
to our High school building, the pub
lie schools of Augusta now Offer ad-
vantages to our young people that are
second to none. Our people take a
just pride in this fact, and are a unit

Protection in Finland.

The movement for the adoption of
the system of protection in England
is gaining great Roadway. At the
start Joseph Chamberlain seemed al
most alone, among the great men of
the Kingdom, in his advocacy of it.
That day, however has past. The
movement has gathered such strength
that 1t bids fair, in the near future
to dominate the nation. This fact was
recently emphasized by Ex-Prime
Minister Arthur J. Balfour, in a not
able speech delivered in Birmingham
Mr. 'Chamberlain's home city. He told
his hearers very frankly. that the
time had come for EnglandNio decide
whether it would enter upon the up
ward. hopeful, forward movement that
lay along the lines of tariff reform, or
continue in the downward way of the
present free trade regime. He called
attention. in a very forcible way to
the fact that the scountry's condition
is not now and fever again can be
what it was in the halcyon days of
British Industrial supremacy. He
pointed out the fact that, ~ many of
the greatest industries GEat:. Britain
is ns4longer first among her equals,
and not even second among her equals,
while i4sems respects she had to
rejoice a holding third place. He
spoke forcibl of the fact that Ameri-
ca 'is building up THE GREAT
EST COMMERCIAL EMPIRE THE
WORLD Has EVER KNOWN"
While Germany, another country
under the wise policy of pro-
tecQon, had with unexampled, almost
sta3 kering success. promoted the
growth"of her own industries, and
through the partial, unequal working
of the most favored nation clause
had become the center of the mid -Eu-
ropean body, commercially armed
against British competition" He de-
clared, with much emphasis and feel
ing, that it was amazing, and even
lcontemptible that his. the people OF
his own country should "sit by with
folded arms, hiding themselves be-
hind the Anticipated free trade formula
| and watch those empires forging the
weapons with which they are going
to capture Great Britain's colonies
from her and her sphere of commer.
cial influence"
Mr.. Balfour, however, did not be-
lieve that the verdict of the Englisl
people would be long delayed. TIL,
Opposing forces of protection and fire,
trade were marshalling for the con
flict. He reminded hisg hearers, how
ever. that it would not be the Hous,
Of Lords or the House of Commons
that would decide the issue. 1t woul;
be thesyoice OF the people.

: You, dcnizens of the city, spend a
day halliday, at least a few hours
in the country during this delightful

Get away from smokestacks, brick
buildings and paved streets and out
into ting bracing air and glorious sun

Forget politics and politicians; lay
business cares aside: do not think of
your coai bill for a little while. Revel
in the Intoxicating delights OF a day
or a halliday in the fields and woods
and along the country lanes.
Do not say you can't afford it; YOU
cannot afford not to go. E,
