What Schools Could Do

Much has been written and said
of late regarding the school situa-
ton but the statement by an en-
ployment agency recently skilled
men and 1aborers are all getting
work. We can't supply the de-
mand for 1aborers and mechanics.
Clerk labor is a drug on the market.
There are simply not enough jobs
to go .around,' has caused. Duluth
Herald to editorially comment on
the situation.
In view of the fact that the Com
mencement season is now at hand
all over the country the Herald S
editorial is good. 1t says:
And so it will continue to be so
long as the public schools continue
to turn out pupils untitled for any
occupation whatever, but spoiled
for honest labor in which hand and
brain combine by absurd1y distort-
ed conceptions of the social distinc-
lions between labor of various
kinds.
| The reason there are so many
more clerks than there are jobs for
clerks, and the reason why pay for
such employment is so small, is
that the schools, hampered by habit
and actuated by a 1nisdirected
academic purpose, are training
children away from honest labor.
The purpose of the average public
school curriculum is to fit its pupils
for college and the professions.
That is not its expressed purpose,
of course, and many educators will
deny with heat that it is their
objective. Yet the public school
courses that still prevail were
framed at a time when the whole
purpose was to make gentlemen
and scholars" and the result is the
outrageous conception that labor
with the hands is socially inferior
to labor that permits clean hands
and white collars.
SO it is that so many of the
public. school products, abhorring
mechanical pursuits, become clerks
of various sorts. So it is that the
market for clerk labor constantly is
congested, and that clerk labor
wages are low.
The fault lies in the schools,
and correction of this condition
must begin there.
The country calls for educated
farmers, educated artisans and
educated housewives; it gets few
doctors, lawyers and would-be
writer's altogether to many of each
and horde of unframed boys
and girls who fly from work that
soils their hands and crowd the
poorly paid places where the work
will permit a pretense of gentility.
The spectacle is pathetic, and
it constitutes a serious indictment
against the public schools. The
children that go to them should
get out the years they spend in
school something that will be of
value to them in life. The acade-
mic purpose, fol-, the great majority
of pupils, should be the subsidiary
feature, and the practical courses
in agriculture, manual training and
domestic science should be the
main feature. The schools should
begin answering the country's
demand for farmers, mechanics and
housewives, and cease turning out
too many professional men and too
many ill-equipped clerks, doomed
to lives of ill-paid labor and
skimped living.

On the basis that hostess orders
