writer in Mothers Magazine.
For it is not knowledge that keeps
the life immune from mora weakness;

A Unique Movement

Unique in the history of political parties in
the United States is the movement recently
launched by the executive committee Of the ma
tlonal Progressive party. This is called the Pro-
gressive National Service and it's sole purpose is
to stimulate the great crusade for good govern
ment on non-partsan basis.
This service is interested in measures, not in
offices office seekers. 1t proceeds without
prejudice and not in the heat of political conflict,
1t Is calmly but steadily at work the year around
investigating and putting before the people facts
touching the province of good government 1t
looks to the time when every American voter
shall base his vote upon knowledge and clear
sense of personal responsibility.
1t is evident that such an enterprise will at
tract and command the finest American Man
hood and Womanhood and that these will use
the most effective means to promote their cause.
What is more natural than that the yceum and
chautauqua, which has been called "The Univer-
sity of the People," should at once be chosen as
agency to disseminate knowledge and inspire
action? The bureau of education of the Pro-
gressve National Service announces it's lyceum
and chautauqua service under the direction of
Montaville Flowers of California.
The object of this Department of the Serv-
ice is to bring to the American people through
lures general acquaintance with the meaning
and significance of Government and it's service
under the social, economic and industrial cond-
lions of the present day; to aid in the develop
ment of functions of government to meet these
conditions. These themes are big and tremen-
dous. They are national and international.
Several hundred of the most scholarly and
commanding speakers of America have already
enlisted for service in this campaign of educa-
ton. Some of these speakers will discuss Social
and Industrial Justice; others, Conservation,
Child Labor, Equal Suffrage, Workingmen s
Compensation, Tariff, Finance, Cost of Living,
Betterment of Country Life, and so on through
every department of specialized effort and knowl-
edge These speakers will discuss these things,
not in the flamboyant rhetoric of the campaign
orator, but with the calm and elaboration of the
Investigator and the scholar and in the spirit of
the friends of man.

CRITICISM ON PUBLIC SCHOOL

plete transformation in the idea of
what the public school should do.
Those who criticize the bookish
curriculum of the public school, whet-
her elementary or high school, are
really striving for what they conceive
to be the changed purpose of educa-
ton: To reach all the children of all
the people with the kind of training
that will make them not merely intel
ligent in respect to things that are
in books, but will equip them directly
for the kind of life, economic and So
cial which they will lead when they
leave school; while those who oppose
the innovations do SO because they dc
not concede this broader though ap.
parently more SPECIALIZED purpose"

Current criticisms of the public

Education. Among other things, the

answered with an emphatic statement
today than they were so or so years
ago"
1--WE frequently hear that there are

critics who utter this sort of criti-
cism seldom agree on exactly what
the fads and frills are, but they in
variably look back to a golden past
when the so-called fundamentals,
reading, writing and arithmetic, were
taught in such way as never to be
forgotten. AS a matter of fact, the
system of today is UNNECESSARILY
ahead of the school system of the
past. The growth has been steady.
Whatever may be said against the en-
richment Of the course of study, it's
'fads and frills,' the contention that
the essentials, so-called, have suffered

In discussing current criticism gen.
orally the report finds that much of
the criticism of public schools of to-
day is due to marked change in the
purpose Of education. The change of
a curriculum behind the times and
the demand for vocational subjects,
represents no small call for different
school subjects as such, but a COM
