ID ERLIN, Germany, Aug. 26-When
king Frederick William undertook
the gigantic task of reha bilitating
his kingdom of Prussia after it had
been devastated by Napoleon, he said:
THE future will belong TO the best
educated nation. From that day until
this his words have been the motto of
the Prussian nation. and since the
union of Germany they have expressed
the guiding thought of imperial policy.
Frederick William did not mean that
education should be confined to book
learning, and none of his successors
has narrowed the broad import of the
word. The old king began first by
educating his people for war, that they
might repel invaders and make sure Of
their national independence. After war
came Industry. and the Prussians were
the first people systematically to I'M
dertake the education of the hands as
well the minds of their children. 1t
began in the kindergarten and the tech
nical training school almost at the same
time FrOebel and Pestalozzi in their
work for German education revolu-
tionized the teaching methods of all the
world, but their ideas have been better
developed in Germany than elsewhere.
Belief in Education.
Believing that the future belongs TO
the pest educated nation, the NIerule-IlS
believe also that the future belongs to
the best educated man. Therefore the
German soldier is educated in the
theory and practice of war-he is not
expected TO pick it up under fire or TO
inherit it from his soldieriy ancestors
The German artisan is educated in the
theary and practice of the particular
craft to which he will devote his life
he is not expected to be able TO qualify
himself by sweeping out the shop and
picking up technical knowledge at odd
times.
Special Education
Every German is presumed to have a
special educational training in some
special line of work. from pedagogy to
plumbing. No one is expected TO drift
into a trade, calling or profession. A
life work is selected for a boy, he is
trained for that work. and he is ex-
pected to remain in IL all his life. AS
he is educated for this particular thing,
the idea of changing to some other
work never will occur to him. BY this
universal system OF special training
every German is fitted into his particu-
lar niche in the social fabric, he be-
comes a part of the great politicO
economic machine called the German
Empire, and until he wears out he
performs the duties and functions of
