TOO TRUE, ALAsl

Employer Complains of Educativs
System That Fails of Results.
Within a week." wrote an employer
to a professor of English Ia q great
American university, II have read at
least 100 letters from high school
graduates, and out of the hundred not
more than sx were free from defects
in grammar, spelling Of other misuse
OF words. During the past two or three
years, in various cities, / have
ined at least 1000 applicants for vart-
ous positions. All these persons claim
ed to have passed with credit through
the public schools. If I say that 10
per cent of them appeared to have
any appreciation Of the English Ian
guage 1t Is because I am Of a generous
disposition"
A great many employers who are
looking for intelligent and eficient
service will echo these words from
their own experience. While thousands
Of people are clamoring for work, em-
ployers on all sides complain of their
inability to md competent subordi-
mates. Meanwhile, each veal the pub
lie schools are sending into the world
hundreds of thousands of graduates.
A large number are boys and girls
who have been kept at school by the
parents at a sacrifice, 80 that the chill
dren may get an education" When
the graduates go home with their d.
plomas the parents believe that the re-
suit has been delivered. Then the
'scholars'' go out into the world and
meet disappointment and failure.
What is the cause? Can 1t lie in
the children. For mental and phys
zeal alertness American children com
pare favorably with other children the
world over. Can the fault be with the
the memory Of Emerson's celebrated
remark that Americans r the most
overschooled and undereducated people
in the world. How many Americans
have ever taken that criticism seri-
ously?
The reply of the professor Of Eng
fish to the employers comments IL
suggestive: School teachers and .
perintendents," he said, seem to look
quite complacently on such facts a
you mention. So long as the curric-
ulum is laid out In accordance with
the latest theories Of pedagogic sci
ence they do not take much notice
of results. and they continue to turn
out il1iterates from high schools with
entire cheerfulness and self-gratular

Britain's Rulers.

Mr.. Lloyd George is pleasantly
proud of his nationality. but it is anna
zing that he had to go back to Queen
Elizabeth and the Tudors to find his
torical precedence for a Welsh gov
ernment of Great Britain. On the
other hand, England has often been
ruled by Scotsmen. OF the last three
premiers, two-Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman and Mr.. Balfour-were
Scotch. Mr.. Gladstone sat for a
Scotch constituency, and so does Mr..
Asquth. Ireland has always been
busy supplying us with governing
men. The duke of Wellington, Lord
Roberts, Lord Charles Beresford
Lord Russell and dozen others

is true that there were auroral flashes
on the nights OF the eighteenth and

CAUTIOUSLY enough, the transit OF the
comet across the suns disk was
cempanfed by the eruption OF ~enor-

have been disappointed that nothing
