PRACTICAL EDUCATION
IS MUCH NEEDED
so SAYS DR.. ADRlEN IN ADDRESS TO HIGH SCHOOL PRINC-
PALS PRESENT SYSTEM SUFFERING FROM "ANCEsTORISES'

| Dr.. IL. A. Adrien, one of the best
known educators in California, is an
advocate of practical education, and
would int roduce it into high school
courses. DR.. Adrian spoke recently
before an institute of high school
principals in Spokane and in his adj
dress criticised the present school
system, saying it was suffering from
"ancestorises' and recommended Il
change in courses of instructions:
"If girl is to be Il happy home
maker, what good is algebra to her.
Ten millions Of people are suffering
today and going hungry because they
are not trained to do practical work.
| More than SO per cent of our popula-
ton is crowded out of the public
schools with no practical training.
lyon may say, what of it, These
millions Of men are standing before
the bakery windows with their belts
drawn to the last hole. \ man is
there because he has not been given
| the training that has lifted him to-
ealn II living.
"Education and training must
meet the frightrul conditions of the
sweat shop today. The study Of lat
in curios, tlintlock guns and filthy
rivers of blood in your histories to-
day will not remedy the condition.
There is less than one per cent of
our population that could not be
trained to do something that would
give man and his family three good
meals a day and Il comfortable cot
tage.
Graduates Of Harvard and Yale
are riding the brake bealhs today be-
cause they havenot been given some
thing practical. They are not ho-
boeS from choice, nor is IT because
they wish to get rid Of responsibility.
1T is because they cam not hold their
Jobs with the store of fossils and cur
los that have been given them.
Il do not mean that would take
out all the Latin and Greek from the
course but would give each boy and
girl chance to get thu training
which will help him or nrr TO do
what he or she is fitted for. dO
not wonder at the cry of the social
list OH the street corner.
