be spread broadcast by the various
agencies for the diffusion of kpowl
edge. The need for the better diffu-
sion of knowledge is evident. While
probably the majority of people now
accent such facts as the circulation
of the blood and the rotundity of the
earth, the attitude Of large numbers
toward science is not all that might
be desired. The higher institutions
have little to be proud of when con-
fronted with certain evidences of the
longevity of popular errors. Farmers
still save small potatoes for seed, SOW
land that has raised the same crop
for twenty five years should raise lit
tie less every year. Parents still hang
amulets about the necks of children
to scare the devil away. Many high
school graduates have no conception
of the work Darwin did for the world,
and some leave college in no better
condition. To how many is the world
still a static affair, and to how many
a medley of chaotic particulars pre-
sided over by luck?
The higher institutions have large
work to perform in dispelling error,
creating right attitudes toward sci
ence, improving taste and establish
ing standards of values, diffusing in
formation and guiding thought. To
this end the education of adults, to
be carried on by the outreaching or
extension activities of the higher in
stitutions, promises much. These now
conceive their work to include direct
dealings with them and women out of
college.
However, the most fundamental way
of improving conditions for any class
in society is to bring all persons. Or
falling that, as many as possible, who
may later serve as industrial, moral
and civic leaders and teachers, under
the direct influence of the organized
cultural agencies known as schools.
When the young man or woman comes
under college influence for months OF
years as a resident student, the most
favorable opportunity exists for re-
building society. The formative and
suggestible period, during the pause
before practical labors interfere with
mental development, is the time to
strike More and more of the country
population should be brought into the
higher institutions. The institution

dent is disIoyal to civilization. ! know
Of no more effectual way of bringing
up country life OF any other life than
to make war on absenteeism from
high school and college, provided these

one step in making the thoroughfare
