GOV. HALL ASKS DEMOCRATS TO CON-
TRIBUTE.
Governor Hall has issued the follow
ing call:
To the Democrats Of Louisiana:
Having been elected by the Demo-
cratic National Campaign Committee as
a member and chairman for the State
of Louisiana of its finance committee,
hereby solicit campaign contributions
from all Democrats and earnestly urge
each to contribute as literally as he is
able to do. 1t is his party duty thus to
assist in winning the great victory
promised by the nomination of Governor
Wilson.
The people of Louisiana have a pc
culiar interest in this campaign as re-
suit of the advanced position taken by
the party in its platform in relation to
the subject of the improvement of the
Mississippi river and in committing the
party to the policy Of assuming charge
of the great work of protecting the
people living along its course from in
undation.
All contributions may be made direct
" to me or through any newspaper in
the State undertaking to receive con-
tributions. L. E. HALL.

At the recsnt meeting in Chicago OF
the Democratic National Committee il
was decided to appeal to the Democrat
ic press of the country to open their
columns to popular subscriptions to the
fund necessary to defray the legitimate
expenses of the campaign of Gov. Wood
row Wilson and his running mate, Gov.
Thomas r. Marshall
By the action of the convention at
Baltimore and by the position since
taken by its nominee the party has vol
unfairly cut itself off from the financial
support of the money power and the
predatory interests. Gov. Wilson has
declared his intention to scrutinize the
subscriptions to the end of rejecting
those which bear the faint Of selfish
corporate interests.
The Democratic party stands reso-
lutely against the corrupt use of money
in the campaign. But vast sum will
be required to meet the legitimate
needs of the militant Democracy in the
pivotal States which will decide the
complexion of the next National Ad-
ministration.
To raise that sum by a popular sub
scription in every State in the Union
will not be difficult task. Four years
ago, when prospects were finitely less
flattering, the Democratic masses of
Louisiana subscribed SIS, 900 to aid the
Democratic campaign. 1t was by far
the largest subscription of any Southern
State. 1t ranked with the subscrip-
tons of the three or four States in the
whole country which stood at the head
of the roll of honor. 1t gave Louisiana
one of the prominent seats at the coun-
sci table of the National Democracy.
Louisiana ought to do as well in 1912
as she did in 1908.
AS the Democratic National Commit
teeman from Louisiana and as mem
Der of the Executive Committee which
Gov. Wilson and Chairman VIM. F. Nc
Combs have selected to- manage the Ma
tional Campaign, l have opened through
the columns of the States and the
Shreveport Times, subscription lists fol
this purpose.
earnestly request every Democratic
newspaper in Louisiana to reproduce
this address and similarly to open it,
columns for subscriptions, each Of
which, if transmitted to me, shall b.
glad also to acknowledge in the States
appeal to every Democrat in Louisi
ana, whatever his station, for his CO
operation in this movement There
will be no limit on the amount of indi
vidual subscriptions. Whatever an,
Democrat feels he is able to give, be il
large or small, will be gratefully &C
cepted, duly acknowledged in the col
umns of the States and the Shreveport
Times and promptly transmitted to thu
National Committee.

National Committeeman.

would be classical in its tendencies it
would prepare straight for the colleges
and lead numbers to its doors. There
fore the public-school system was fash
Toned to meet a sort of special need: to
feed the colleges; and, naturally, it was
promulgated on the idea of treating all
alike in order to achieve one particular
end.
Investigation had not made the pro-
gress then that it has now. There was
a strong, inherent conviction that, as
the Declaration of Independence said,
all men were created equaEthat is,
alike-and that as each child born into
the world was very much like piece
of blank white paper on which we could
write what we chose, why, what was
easier to conceive of than an education
al system that would treat all children
alike? But we know better now; we
have found out more, and we know that
folks are not born alike; that no two
minds are alike, and that you can't
fashion all after the method of one.
Since that time economic conditions
have changed so that boys go INTO the
the world to work earlier than they did,
because there is more work in the world
for them to do. In the early days this
work was done at home and they help
ed after school hours.
The girl could not go out to work be-
cause, first, there wasn't any work
that a girl could do, and, second, it was
not thought to be respectable" or
mice" for girl to go out to work.
Think of such an idea now!
Gradually the boys and girls who
went from the elementary school to
the high school, and from the high
school to the college, became fewer
and fewer in number. In the last ten
years, for instance, the number has
dwindled from fourteen in every one
hundred to five in every one hundred
children who leave high school for col
lege. The private schools, where pa
rents pay, not the public schools, are
now preparing our boys and and girls
for college. Yet the fact remains that
in spite of this dwindling number of
public school pupils, until it has reached
the merest bagatelle hardly worth men
tioning, the old idea on which the pub
lic-school system was started-of pre-
pairing the boy or girl for college lis
still in vogue. In other words, the
public-school course of study is still
planned as if every pupil in it is going
to college, whereas only five pupils,
now, in every one hundred actually go
from the public school to the college.
Do you see?
And all this time, to meet the require
ments of the other ninety-five whofdo
not go to college, absolutely nothing
is offered; nothing is done. Nothing,
in any way, is offered to fit ninety-five
out of every one hundred girls and boys
for practical lives. That is the failure
of the public school; it has not changed
with the times; it has stuck absolutely
close to the old classical idea which nc
longer holds good.
The best proof Of this statement is
in the attempts made here and there
in the schools to introduce manual train.

The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1912-09-21

Do you think / have made good il
my assertions that the American public
school system is absolutely failure il
its method, its plan and its results.
Can you imagine more grossly stupid
a more genuinely asinine system tena
ciously persisted in to the fearful detri
ment of over seventeen million children
and at cost to you of over four hun
dred and three million dollars each yeal
"a system that not only is absolutely
ineffective in its results, but also actu
ally harmful in that it throws every
year ninety-three out of every one hun
dred children into the world of actor
absolutely untitled for even the simplest
tasks in life? Can you wonder that we
have SO many inefficient men and won.
en-; that in so many families there are
so many failures; that our boys and
girls can make SO little money that in
the one case they are driven into the
saloons from encouragement, and in
the other into the brothels to save
themselves from starvation? Yet that
is exactly what the public school system
IS to-day doing, and has been doing.
Now we must not condemn the teach
ers, the principals or the boards of edu-
cation. The teachers are simply hired
to do their work; they are the victims
of the system just as much as are the
pupils. The system is laid out for them,
and although thousands of them know
that it is pernicious system, it is for
them to do as they are told. A teacher
must press her class along and make a
good showing to the principal of the
school, or else the school suffers in
standing and the teacher is discharged.
The principal is likewise simply a tool;
he must make good record to his
board of trustees, and the board of
trustees are usually men who are en-
crossed in other affairs and are so busy
that they can only give passive OF
passing interest to school affairs. And
so what is everybody's business be-
comes, as always in such cases, no
body's business.
but surely, the public school as an
idea is good, it is Indispensable you
persist in bewilderment.
Absolutely good. No idea was better
when It was originated; no idea is bet
ter to-day; none is more needed to-day.
1t is simply case of q good thing gone
fearfully wrong.
''Then how has its ineffectiveness
come about?" you ask.
Purely and simply because conditions
in American life have changed since
the establishment of the public school
idea, and the public school has not
changed with them. The public school
is not American in its origin; it comes
to us from across the water; it is prin-
cipally of Dutch origin. TWAS grated
on to our National life at time when
ideas and conditions were different thar
they are now. Roughly speaking, the
public school is about fifty years old in
America. 1t was primarily introduced
as an attempt to universalize learning.
Books were few, folks had no chance
to read. The colleges were only for the
few. This the colleges saw, but they
also saw that if they could import .
