equipped plant and a faculty of experts
who are practitioners as well as theo-
rists. Eminently, they are practical
men,
The task, specifically, upon which
George Peabody College For Teachers
has embarked appears to be about this:
There was essentially no American
system Of education. What all along
In America has been called education
Is an Inherited habit coming from the
educational practice of Greece and
Rome, When this fact was realized
modern thought began trying to change
the old classical training into a train
ing that would come closer TO the peo-
pie, that would reach the masses in
stead of the few upper classes only.
That effort must reach realization In
education that gives attention to the
home side, the vocational side, the life
In work side Of the student.
Foundation Principles.
In the striving toward attainment
there has grown up within a compare
lively few years a system of agricul-
tural collegeS. Fifty agricultural ex-
pertinent stations have been establish
ed, Manual training and domestic sci
ence courses have been introduced.
Sound principles on which to build a
strong and enduring superstructure
have become fixed. There is no fad
about these things. They are here to
stay, and they IRE the foundation Of
the first genuine system of education
that America has ever had.
What remains to be done is to gath,
er them up. all these lines of real edu-
cation for real living-the training of
women who will know how to make
homes in which they, their husbands
and their children may live fuller lives:
the training Of men who will know
how to run farms or factories in such
fashion that work ceases to be drudg-
cry and becomes natural and pleasur-
able, done Of volition rather than Of
necessity; the training Of men and
women who will make community life
a thing worth while for all who have
part in it. Y
To do this thing for the southern
states, the territory in which 1T seeks
to operate chiefly, is, then, the purpose
of George Peabody College For Taach-
ers. Before beginning actual work the

a large proportion of them as well

in the summer school were made to
conform with the courses that will be
offered during the regular school year
