STONE CARRIERS OF INDIA.

In India there exists a class of la

hard work, are in great demand for
such enterprises as this. They are
of powerful physique and possess
considerable stamina. They will
work for ten hours a day and trans

Although such transportation
seems somewhat slow I'm comparison

plants, yet they prosecute their task

PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
hapid Strides Made in Secondary Ed.
ucatonal Institutions.

hapiu strides Made in Secondary Ed.
ucational Institutions.
Never before in the history of Am
erlcan education have there been so
many and so we'll equipped private
schools, from the kindergartens to the
college preparatory schools. Their
growth in numbers and importance
has been remarkable, paralleling the
rapid strides made by the public
schools.
The secondary school is a result of
the times, and it has responded to the
demand so thoroughly that today the
leading colleges report that from so
to 10 percent Of their freshmen are
graduates of private schools.
Primarily the private school that
prepares the boy or girl for college re-
suited from the overcrowding of tho
public schools i'm the cities and the
lack OF suitable courses in the coun-
try schools. Soon it occupies q place
all it's own, from which it has been
stretching out helping hand to Young
America ever since.
Persons of means were the first
patrons of the private schools. The
crowded public schools and the feel
ing that their sons and daughters
were not receiving the early educa.
tional training which the position of
the parents made possible resulted in
the establishment here and there of
schools where the courses usually
taught during the last two or three
years attendance in public schools
were taken up and supplemented by
more advanced studies. It was a short
step to the college preparatory school
of today.
Ihere is, however, no antagonism
| between the public and the private
school; rather. they work hand I'm
hand, each doing its share in the
preparation of boys and girls for the
serious affairs of life.
Today nearly every college has its
preparatory conducted separ.
ately-but recognized as a feeder"
for the college or university career.
Tho development of the private school
idea has resulted i'm the establishment
| Of secondary schools that send young
men and young women forth fully
equipped for their share in business
life.
To the boy or girl who Is to attend

/ offers an advantage over the public
