Interesting Educational Talk.

The Methodist Brotherhood met il
regular session at the church Monday
evening and the subject of the evening
Modern Education, was handled by
Prof Gotham, city superintendent OF
schools, |. mastery manner.
He developed the thought that many
changes had occurred in the community
life since the old days and that these
changes make it imperative that the
schools should be made to meet the
present needs of the youth
Once, most of the things produced and
used We're made in the home and the
young man and woman learned about
all that was essential for all except a
professional hfe. by assisting in the
work Of the home; the school needed to
supply the simple three RS" and a
few months sufficed 1t was likewise
optional with the youth, and parents as
WELL as to whether the school was at
tended or not.
Then the shop took the place of the
home product and an apprentice system
furnished the needed training for those
who wanted to learn trade.
Then came the modern factory with
its division OF labor and "blind alley"
system of work by the piece. The fac
tory does not need to have mechanics
and does not allow its operatives to
lealn more than one thing; if that is
pegging shoes, that is all one can learn
in that factory, for the longer one
works at that one thing, the more of it
he can do in an hour, or day, and why
should the factory want him to learn
more? The factory operative is help
less If the factory closes, because he
knows how to do but one thing; that is
the cause of much of the labor trouble.
With the factory coming in, the APP
prentice system went out and the mod
ern school must supply the place which
the home and the apprentice system by
turn supplied in the past With this
change. the state recognizes new duty |
and new danger, 1t therefore COM
pels every boy and girl to attend school /
a certain number of months each year, |
up to certain age. And the school
has been heightened to 8 or 9 months /
and charged from the three RS" to
gree number of subjects not taught /
nor me- ded years ago. 1t has been more
and more changed to fit tie need of the
great number, who do not wish, and in
deed should pot, seek professional
training, but should enter life from the
high school. And so courses have been
added from time to time, so that the
youth may be supplied in the school the
knowledge which was formerly gained |
in the home, the shop, and by the APP
prentice system.
These courses are Teachers Train
ing, Manual Training, Domestic Science,
Commercial, Agriculture, and in many
places a supervision Of the play and |
athletics as well.
Prof. Gotham explained the method
of work in these courses and gave an
estimate of their cost and utility.
AT the close of his address, the forty |
men present gave an almost unanimous
vote favoring the recommendation of |
the parents meeting, held at the school
house last Friday night, which recon-
mended to the school board the addition
of such courses to the Mineral Point
schools.
