o TRUE, ALAS,

Employer Complains of Educatfva
System That Fails of Results.
within a week. wrote an employer
to a professor Of English IN 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 flee from detects
in grammar. spelling or other misuse
Of words. During the past two or three
years, in various cities, / have exam
ined at least 1000 applicants for vari-
Gus positions. All these persons claim
ed to have passed with credit through
the public schools. If say that 10
per cent Of them appeared to have
any appreciation Of the English Ian.
guage 1t is because l am of a generous
disposition"
A great many employers who are
looking for intelligent and efficient
service will echo these words from
their W experience. While Thousands
Of people are clamoring for work, an.
ployers on all sides complain of their
inability to ind competent subordi-
mates. Meanwhile, each year 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.
p1omas 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 it lie in
the children. For mental and phys
zeal %a1ertness American children com
pare %favorably with other children the
world over. Can the fault be with the
schools? With these questions comes
the memory Of Emerson's celebrated
remark that Americans are 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
lish to the employers comments 10
suggestive: School teachers and su-
perintendents," he said, seem to look
quite complacently on such facts ~
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 To-
out illiterates from high schools With
entire cheerfulness and self-grotuD
tion.''

A Few Reasons Why It Will Pay
You to Trade at Adams Jewelry Store

The man without a thorough
knowledge of his business can not
make a success. Ask your dry
goods merchant, your successful
farmer, your best cobbler, your doc
tor, your banker, your teacher, your
preacher, and any one else who has
made a success. We don't mean
every one who has made money, but
every one who has succeeded in his
undertaking.
The man who does understand his
business and has not the necessary
capital to operate on can not give
you the best service, as the best and
most reliable houses from whom his
merchandise must come do not take
questionable risks.
You place more confidence in your
jeweler than you do in your banker;

there is no state examiner to pass

When he says it is GOLD you must
take his word for it or tell him you
don't care to purchase. He can lie
