NEEDED CHANGE IN SCHOOL

The following extracts from a
recent speech of Secretary Redfeld,
of the government department of
commerce, made before the nation
al society for the promo ion of in
dustrial education in a meeting at
Grand Rapids, Mich, will meet
with hearty response in the minds
of all people of understanding. 1t
indicts the methods of education
in vogue today and points the solu-
tion to a question that has been an
vexatious one for many years. Edu-
cation acquired under the methods
too largely in vogue nowadays does
not tend to qualify as it should
the youth of the land for the
competitive maelstrom into which
they are thrown.
"The human pathos of the pro-
blem is what appealed to me-The
pitiable figure of the boy or girl
faltering on the edge of the siren
uous struggle of life, needing to
earn, yet not knowing how to earn,
and forced to enter the battle with.
out the slightest training for the
contest.

vast as TO be beyond the power OF

the city and the nation put togeth.

Let me suggest that while we
must not forget the great debt we
owe to the private vocational
schools, yet the future of industrial
education lies in the hand of the
public school. / do not venture t.

why He ATTENDS CHURCH

While great many Ct our read
ers may not be church goers and
those who are may not get the
benefits from it that Congressman
Weaver of Oklahoma says he gets
in the following article, we think
his reasons for going to church
are worthy of reproduction because
of the sentiments expressed. The
article was written for one of the
large magazines and reau into the
Congressional Record by one of Mr..
Weaver's colleagues. 1t has been
widely copied:
go to church because l find
peace there, that peace which De
Quincy described as resting from
human labors, a Sabbath of repuse,
respite granted from the secret
burdens of the heart, as if | stood
at a distance and aloof from the
uproar of life; as if the tumult
and fever and strife were suspend
ed; as il there brooded over me a
dOvelike and halcyon calm.
go to church because love the
music that hear there, the mighty
roll of the great organ, mingled
with the marvellous symphonies of
that divine stringed instrument,
the human voice, untwisting all
the chains that tie the hidden soul
of harmony.
90 to church because I delight
TO hear the teaching of the preach
er, whose soul is dedicated to God,
whose field is as wide as God s
universe, whose theme is the des-
tiny of man and whose words are
the oracle of fate. Marvellous is
the spell of the preacher to whom
God he's given genius and conse-
Grafton and the power of illustra-
tion drawn from the old, sacred,
immortal book, and from the mir.
acles Of nature, no less revealed in
the crimson-tipped flower turned
up by the plowshare of Robert
Burns upon the soil of Ayr than in
the long reaches Of the star grit
skies.
l go to church because "the way
is dark and l am far from horne''
and because the church is the polar
star to light my pathway in the
rayless night.
go to church because the
church ministers not only to. the
spiritual but also the material
needs Of life, and because it il

and heal and bless are scattered
at the feet OF man like flowers.
