CURED Of pupils? -
To form independent opinions on
public questions; to take an interest
in community affairs; to be economi-
cal Of their expenditures and conserV-
alive of the natural Of the
country; in short to be men-men in
the largest sense-is the sort Of citi-
zens for which our public schools
should lay the foundation.
The larger problem Of our public
schools is to afford instruction apple
able to these ends and to exert an in
fuence that will tend to insure its
application when the pupil becomes a
citizen.
This problem cannot be solved too
soon. The spirit Of discomfort and I'M
rest is abroad in the land. Because a
few possess infinitely more wealth than
they will ever need OF that they ever
came by honestly, while millions are
keeping afioat with increasing difficult
ty, is causing discomfort. Hence social
istic doctrines of many brands are be-
ing harked from press and platform,
and they are not always unmiXed with
symptoms of anarchy. Moreover, these
michievous doctrines cannot be crush
ED by force. There is but n remedy
remove the cause. The square
DEAF universally taught in and the
people taught to save their surplus
earnings which would then be possible,
will do more for the safety Of this ma
ton than all the battleships n a a

theorists, or even to men and women
as much strangers to local conditions
as the average day laborer is to the
occult sciences. Instead, therefore, Of
the whole student body being ''gorged
with a mass of knowledge that has
no application to the needs Of the
community or to the vocations the
pupils soon must fill, the courses Of
study should embrace subjects aver
age men and women are interested in
and have use for in the performance
Of their daily tasks. For the country
Is In greater need Of numerous, eff
cient average men and women than
Of a few exceptional characters. In
fact too many OF the exceptional men
upon whom the schools have lavished
their best educational energles-men
who have enjoyed a monopoly of the
states educational advantages-have
disappointed us by exploiting rather
than promoting the welfare Of society.
The public welfare depends more upon
the average people than upon a small
lumber of super men and women;
hence to raise the great mass Of our
citizenship to the highest possible lev
ell of efficiency, honesty, and social
service, without %curtailing the oppor-
tunities of the few aforementioned. is
at least, in large measure, solving the
problem of public education.
But, says the PROFESSIONAL SQuCaC-
or, how are we to know what may
be the pupils bent of mind?" And,
should not the pupils training be
general, cultural and preparatory until
he finds himself? until he has chosen
his career?"
Inasmuch as this yelled assumption
will apply to but a fraction Of 1 per
cent of children, as statistics prove.
We may we'll dismiss the inquiry as
not having II material reference to
the great body Of children that pa
tronize the public schools for purposes
other than to take preliminary train
ing in order to find themselves. In
other words, the needs Of the great
majority Of pupils should not be sac
rificed for the very few that viii
eventually complete a college course Of
study. The latter will take care Of
themselves. If any sacrifice is neces-
sary, however, the more favored ones
should make it.
