SPEAKERS SCORE
PARENTS ATTITUDE
Educators and Jurist Decry the
Training of Pupils to Avoid
Manual Labor

BERKELEY, Feb s.-The attitude
which the average parent takes toward
the education OF his child was the SUD-
ject of scathing criticism by various
speakers at the public school evening
of the Welfare Workers in the Io"n
and Gown club building last night.
The average parent said Superln-
tendent George w Frick of the Ala
media county school department, send
his children TO school with an utterly
mistaken object in view, namely 10
train the child that it viii not nave
to work. The schools, also, are not
doing what they should to fit the chiid
for life.
HALF WORK AND HALF STUDY
The recent proposal made by an
educational reformer to have all chill
dren quit full day sessions in schooi
at the age of II and continue there
after with a half day of practical
work in the business or professional
world and a half a day of study until
they reach their legal majority Is sun
worthy of our serious consideration
1t would at least afford the necessary
connecting link between the schooi-
room and the outside world.
Judge w. H. Wells of the superior
court declared that the whole trend
of the present day public school sys-
tenn was to fit the exceptional child
for the university at the expense OF
the average child, who would never go
there.
Too few of our boys and girls have
any definite idea of what they want
to do or to become" said the jurist

Secretary Wilson. of the depart
ment of agriculture. says that "The
productiveness of the United States
along agricultural lines is not keep
ing pace with the growth of our pop
ulation. Meats are dear because
meat bearing animals are falling be-
hind the population in relative num-
bers. Labor is scarce on the farm,
and labor is dear on the farm because
the factory. the forest. the mine and
the railroad are taking the farmers
workers through wages fixed at rates
which the farmer cannot afford to
pay. The population of the United
States is growing both by reason Of
the natural increase of families dom
iciled in America and by accretions
through immigration from abroad.
But the immigrants do not reach the
farm. The farmers who do come to
Us from foreign countries do not find
their way to the farms of this coun-
try and the immigration laws pre-
vent American farmers from going to
foreign countries and selecting there
the prospective immigrants whose ser
vices could aid them.'

Seattle is not in any sense rival
of Spokane for the National Apple
Show. 1t is not seeking to have the
fruit exhibition removed from the
Eastern Washington city. Consider
able newspaper discussion, origiDat-
ing with the Spokane papers. on the
ACCESSIBILITY of a Lew location. pref
erably some Eastern city. met with
decided opposition in Seattle. where
1t is believed that the greatest bene
fits of the Apple Show come from
bringing Fasteners to visit the or
cbards and lands available for cult
walton in the Pacific Northwest. The
conventions committee of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce sent out cir
culsr strongly urging this view and
stating that, it the show was to be re-
moved from Spokane for any reason.
Seattle would be glad to take care of
it. An expression of opinion OF the
commercial organizations in the
fruit growing districts was solicited.
This is the extent of the movement
which the Spokane Chamber of Com
MERGE has unjustly called an effort to
"rob" that city of the Apple Show.
SeattIe's whole interest in the matter
is to keep the show in the Northwest.
where it will best serve the welfare of
all sections.
