THE CENTURY,s PROBLEM

I'VE nave about so million Americans
who have remained in school into the
midst of their teens-something like
two-fifth of our probable population in
the next 80 years" says William Allen
White, writing in the August American
Magazine under the title 1.-The Schools
the handspring of Democracy" He
continues.
Assuming that the average life of
the college graduate and his post-grad-
uate associate is 90 years out of col
lege, we may assume that the genera
ton now opening will be manned with
o million men and women who have at
least finished their college work, and
assuming that the same number of jul
riors, sophomores and freshmen leave
schooI-about $4,000 in each class-that
are graduated, we may add three mil
lion more to the total. making four
million college men and women who
will participate in our national life dur
irg the first 80 years of this century
Add to these four million college bred
men and women the 100000 high school
graduates who are entering life every
year. and the generation may reason
ably be computed TO hold five million
persons who have taken full advantage
direct taxes upon ali of the people
Add to this total those who drop out
from the four lower classes of the high
schoOl-a list as large from each class
as the annual graduating class-and one
has Is million others who have come
into a somewhat wider field of know
ledge than that afforded by the common
schools. Let US add to them for 80
years the three-quarters of a million
pupils who complete the work in the
seventh or eighth grades OF the elemen-
tary schools. There will be %, SOC, 900 of
them. Now adding all these sums
allowing Tor the increase in population
to increase the number of youth as the
years go on-and we have about so
million Americans who have remained
in school into the midst of their terms
something like two-ffths of our pro-
bable population in the next 30 years.
This is not enough. Democracy may
live, but it cannot thrive upon that
basis. If we are to solve the problem
of the century-the restriction of ignor-
ance and greed in our business organi-
zation-we must solve it in the school
house rather than in the legislature or
in the court room. So long as there
is a body of the people ignorant, that
ignorance will breed a greed that will

be duped by demagogy, and always the
greed equipped by cunning will outwit
greed equipped by ignorance. The pro-
blems that this nation has solved have
been for the most part simple problems.
They were problems in the production
OF wealth. 1t is true that the abolition
OF slavery concerned the distribution of
wealth. 1t was simple subtraction, but
to deal justly with capital in it's public
uses, to say what is the individuals
share in the public partnership and
what is the share of the common
wealth-that is long divisional problem
of distribution. And most of our ma
tional problems now pending are pro-
blems of distributions: wherefore if we
are to do these complex problems of
distribution, as a nation at least we
must get INTO the Eighth grade. Per-
haps the average now is nearer the
Sixth than the Eighth"
