a successful motherhood.
The tendency OF education in the United
States during the last decade has been
in the direction OF industrial training
There are i,400 cities in the United States
having over four thousand population. In
more than half OF these cities the public
schools have manual training in several
years Of the course, and generally in the
elementary grades. Frequently this man.
ual training is found in every year OF the
course. from kindergarten TO high school.
In the drift toward this new education
the most striking example Of progress Is
10 be found in that most successful o. the
schools that have developed in the present
generation, the consolidated rural school
This school is formed by bringing together
number Of the small district schools
which have for generations furnished the
only educational opportunities afforded in
country districts. Five schools OF twenty
pupils each FOR instance may he combined
into one school Of a hundred pupils THIS
centra, big school may he well built. well
equipped and well graded. IL may be sup
piled with three teachers Of special train
Ing with the same money that was re-
ouireG TO employ the five inferior teachers
The old system with one teacher in a one
room schoolhouse. with thirty recitations
to hear every day. is superseded by grad
ed school where the teacher has but third
as many classes.
Another OF the strong tendencies in the
public schools throughout the land is the
drift toward a more thorough supervision
o. those conditions that have 10 do with
the health OF children. In this connection
also. enters the subject OF instruction in
hygiene which is intended To bring home
TO every child an understanding OF the
necessity Of knowing just how TO keep his
body healthy and efficient
The beginning OF this idea of looking
into the physical condition of the children
IN the public school led TO some startling
disclosures In Cleveland. for instance.
was formed the Cleveland Dental Society.
which advocated an inquiry into and a
treatment OF pupils having defective teeth
This society. after some years OF endeav-
or, succeeded in getting the introduction
OF instruction as to the care OF the teeth
Similar examinations have been made in
many cities. In New York. for instance.
the examinations have gone much further.
ana an inquiry is made into other possible
defects Of the children. such as in eye
sight or hearing In New York also an
inquiry has been made into the efficiency
OF the lunches that the poor children bring
To school, and 1t has been found that
these lunches ar such that the children
are under-nourished. and that often an.
parent stupidity Is due 10 this cans.

nant OF but about $4,000 out OF the OVlV'oU
that ever reach them. These are the re"
that circumstances and selection allow the
privilege of higher education.
For the maintenance of the public schools
alone the nation has enlisted the services
of 10000 teachers Thus II is shown that
the teaching force OF the United states is
about seven times as large as its fighting
force. OF these. however. only q per cent
are men. leaving a body of 10000 women
who are bearing the brunt OF the educa-
,ion Of the Young American. Incidentally, II
is noticed that the percentage Of men VINO
are engaged in school teaching IS now only
about half what II was when our fathers
vent TO school. forty years ago.
The amount OF money that is spent an
uuallv On public schools Is also so large az
n be appalling. Last year 1t amounted 10
something near 100000. This amount eA-
pended for this one purpose is nearly equai
10 half the money necessary 10 maintain the
entire machinery OF the federal government
FOR one year. II NAV also be measured Dy
the standard OF such a monstrous under-
taking as the digging Of the Panama canal
for n would be about sufficient TO accom-
dish such an enterprise. The taxes from
which funds are raised for the maintenance
o. schools are almost altogether local taxes,
and their rate is governed by the local de
mand for money for the purpose IN hand
This vast expenditure OF money for pub
lie education is on a much more liberal
basis now than IL has been at any time In
the past The average amount OF money
which the government now spends on each
pupil in its schools Is twice as great as II
was forty years ago The tendency through
out the country Is to still further increase
this rate of expenditure The newer types
Of education demand much more money 10
each student than did the older types. and
the question is being raised in many local.
ties concerning the possibility Of acquiring
sufficient funds for the adequate support OF
public educational institutions on a still
more liberal basis.
This more expensive education which
Uncle Sam intends TO give his boys and
girls has a much stronger trend 10 the
vocational and mechanical side than has
been the case with the form Of education
followed for generations past II is be-
ing argued, FOR instance. that every farm
boy in the United States should he given
the advantages Of an education that
teaches him 10 get the best possible re-
