now. It may be that those require
ments have been passed by less than
the span OF generation. but the pro-
Gress OF the last quarter century has
been such In educational life. as to
all others. as TO have little but the
original trunk of the educational tree
which has lowered so frui.fully.
The Require ments of To-Day.
In the days gone by 1t was only
necessary-and not so very long ago
to have the most rupericial knowl
edge OF AFFAIRS In these later days
of stresstul competition educational
preparation is of the analytical order
1T is necessary not only to know
that certain things are so. but TO
know why. IL the olden days the girl
was taught to become a housekeepei
by the example set by the elder rela
tives. To-day the most successful
housewife is the one who knows not
alone the practice, but the theory as
well. There is the problem of costs
and the problem OF chemistry of FOOD
and infinitely more. even. to be learn
ed to make the most of what is pro-
vided nowadays for US all. The prin-
ciples of household economics are as
important as the mechanical facts. but
in the development OF the well-bal-
anced institution the acquisition of
both theory and practice is made pos
sible under such conditions as pre-
sent likewise the accomplishments
which every girl needs, wants and
should have.
And, whether the girl is to fight
the battle of life by herself or wheth-
or she enters the struggle by the side
OF her chosen mate there is necessity
for that Intelligent cooperation which
alone can wiring success from the pro-
blems presented in even the most COM
monplace developments.
More Is Now Demanded.
Modern civilization has, in effect
reached that era which as much. pro-
portionately, is required OF the indi-
vfdual filling the lowest position as of
the one in the highest. 1t is no long
er the man who can only do what he
is told to do who wins even an aver
age wage. The man OF to-day who can
hold even the smallest position is the
one who not only is able to think for
himself in the solution OF the minor
problems, but who is prepared in such
matters to aid his superiors with sug
gestions.
The employers cry is for trained
brains" and the cry echoes all along
the line from the Office of the head OF
tho greatest Institution to the head
quarters of the man who directs lie
movements of the smallest subdivi-
sion OF the whole. Even If it he no
more important a duty than that OF
shoveling sand. 1t Is the man who can
swing his implement with the great
est conservation OF energy and who
can by that means handle the great
est quantity in a given time who wins
the approving eye of his superior and
maintains himself in STEADY Job"

How much more. therefore. is It

such lines that they may direct the

There is another feature of the pres
ent day. and that is that the young
man and young woman should not be
sent into the world as early as we're
their parents. The struggle Is INFINITE
~ greater than when II was possible
for the average schoolboy TO strike
out for himself and make what was
called a living. He can even do so

little reason for the parental argu-
ment of 81 did it myself; why can't

The struggles OF the past should
be a warning to the average parent
OF the greater aeverity of the strug-
giles of the future. and should lead
them TO give their children those ad :
'antages which they are able to pro-
vice and the lack of which they un-
doubtedly have felt in their own lives.

In the development OF education OF
the youth OF the land IT has become as
much of problem to select the school
at which preparation for the future is
TO be made as to choose the profess
sion which is to be followed. Indeed.
tho two problems are indissolubly
linked. for in the proper choice OF
the preliminary educational institu-
ton lies the effectiveness of the foun-
dalton upon which the specialized in
struction is to lie. The same Is true
of the selection OF an institution for
the girl of the boy. for though the
professional future is not often chosen
for the girl. nevertheless there arc
the duties OF life to be provided for
and much OF the success in filing n
particular niche. even in everyday life,
depends upon the earlier training. not
alone in the learning which may be
gained from books. but from that
really more important training which
the character receives. And with all
this there is the proper care of health
in earlier years that the later life may
be rounded out to its complete full
ness.
Education Essential.
II cannot be gainsaid that the sue
ccssful man or woman of tho TWEEN
t!eth century Is the one who has first
laid a broad foundation. II may be
that success has been wrung In some
instances without the aid of the edu-
rational facilities so fully provided in
these United States, but in such ex-
ccptiopal instances there invariably
stands out the strong character of
the individual which is able to sur
mount all OBSTACLES. The schools and
colleges of to-day undoubtedly make
q strong man or strong woman
more successful. but their principal
duty must always be to prepare the
average boy and the average girl Ia
cope with the problems of life which
their. stronger competitors overcome
either by inherent powers or by the
rude cutting the Gordian knot which
tnterferes with their progress.
WIN eoSH SSdi Tie Standardization
OF the schools of the country is de-
veloping along lines which will ulti-
mately enable them to be graded in
such manner as to assure to each
student of any particular institution
the same progress as could be OBJ
tained at any other of the same gen
eral rank.
Determining the Future Life.
Great as has been the progress
along this line, there is still much to
be done before the desired level foe
all has been reached. In the mean.
time. therefore, it becoms a prime
necessity on the part of the growing
youth Of the land to determine care
fully their plans for life and likewise
to determine with equal care the in
stitutions through whose educational
possibilities It will be best to develop
themselves for their future.
