CULTTyATES THE WILL
THE REAL SOVEREIGN

But 1t may be objected that such
discipline can be had In a store or a
factory or the army. In sense this lie
true, but with vital difference. In
a store or factory or the army, the
duties are prescribed and the boss
under whatever title enforces strict
adherence thereto or discharges the
refractory employee. There Is not
much opportunity for the display OF
the will power In making choice be-
tween duties that may be neglected
and pleasures that bid for indulgence.
No such seminary for the development
OF the Will has ever been devised as
the small college, where parental care
II showered over all and where duties
and pleasures involving the willis Gull
tivation and development are plente-
ouslv supplied. TO this benign op-
portunity for strengthening the Will
through exercise the vacations Of daily
life can offer no par llel.

MUST NOT CONVERT SCHOOLS
INTO APPRENTICE SHOPS
The narrow specialist the man who
has confined himself to one thing to
the exclusion of everything else. who
has seen in education only practical
information and in life only his own
vocation--that man may make his
millions, may stand at the top of his
profession, but his own life will be
poor In the elements that really make
living worth while-poor in the things
that elevate human life above mere
animal existence and brings it close to
God. This Is not decrying success
This is not decrying material success
IL Is pleading for man as the master
of materialism as against man en-
shaved to his own acquisitions AMI 1t
is a plea that needs to be made. Short
sighted educationists, mad with de-
sire for popularity. are enunciating in
catching phrases the gospel Of NAM
mon and the mammonites are saying
"amen and amen" They would elm
mate from our schools all but prac-
teal studies and they would introduce
vocational training everywhere pos
sibie. They would convert our schools
into apprentice shops and put under
the ban OF disapproval every ideal
save that OF materfalistic success. We
need apprentice shops, but we need
schools also. Our schools will quicken
our ideals. Our apprentice shops will
enable us to work out in material form
these ideals. But IL our schools be-
come apprentice shops. where will our
ideals be?
OLD COUNTRIES ARE NO SAFE
CRITERION FOR AMERICA
The advocates OF vocational train
ing and practical education as the
only worthy aim of our educational
system do not help their case when
they cite the examples of foreign
countries as justifying their reform.
They forgot that life In those coun-
that there liz very little, II any. trans
ference from one stratum of society
to another. Sons and daughters of the
mobiles will be mobiles and the children
OF artisans will follow their forebears
Not so in America, where even the
humbiest can aim at the highest sta
ton. In the old country there Is very
little need for the quickening Of ideals,
but in America such qufckening OF
t1V&RSs - ttfN SNttCt vi nnT &tUKy anu
the destiny of our future. Yet even
In the old countries. there exist two
types Of, educati9G-- practical for tha |
children of the poor and the artisans,
and classical for the education OF the |
professional and higher classes We
shall likely come to some such ar
rangement In this country. but as be-
tween the vocational school only and
the classical school only, there can
be but one choice for n nation whose
national greatness is dependent upon
the ideals that stir the hearts blood
OF It's every citizen.

understand the process of 1t, but each

to it's acquisition and enjoyment than

III. PROCESSES OF WORK.
If college did no more for man
than cultivate correct habits of work
and thought. It would on that score
only be entitled to every mans re-
spect and support. The regular re-
currence OF college duties may be in
convenient at times. but SO are the
duties of the work-a-day world The
punctual performance of these duties
will tell wonderfully l.. after years.
when the stress and the storm of life's
obligations gather thick and fast
about us. Every college man has in
his vocational duties after graduation
had occasion to feel grateful to the
routine exacted by the rules and regu-
lations OF his college days. He may
have found them interfering with his
pleasures and desires at times and he
may have yielded half-hearted
obedience. when he was under obliSa-
ton to attend class rather than wit
ness great athletic contest In a
nearby city. but in his maturer years
when the self-discipline thus achieved
has brought him the needfui resoiu-
ton for sticking to his duties In the
face Of encouragement. or inviting
pleasure, his mind will revert to the
old scenes and gratitude will well up
within him for lasting benefits re-
ceived.

PORTLAND REPUBLICANS ARE
OPTIMISTIC AS TO RESULTS
OF TODAY'S CITY ELECTION

Portland, Me. Dec. 5.-More interest
is manifested in the outcome of the
election on Monday than has been
known in any municipal campaign for
years. II has been a campaign Of great
activity on the part of both Republi-
cans and Democrats. The Democrats
have a well organized and well in
structed machine which they have
used in other elections in a most eff
fecuve manner and which they ex-
pect will work just as smoothly on
Monday in rolling up large ma jorties
for Mayor William NJ. Ingraham in
the strong Democratic wards as it has
in the past. They are anticipating that
enough Republicans will cut their
ticket in favor of Mayor 1ngranam TO
give him the necessary plurality. but
the more astute Democratic politicians
no dot express any hope of being able
to control the city government. If the
Republican friends of Mayor ingra-
nam and Of Bion Bradbury, whose re-
appointment as commissioner of
public works is at stake, are sufficient
in number to cut down the ordinary
Republican ma jorities in the uptown
wards. the Democrats believe they
will elect the mayor If there is not
enough cuts on the head of the ticket
they admit that Mayor Ingraham can
rot win.

by substantial plurality. 1t is the
Republican contention that Wards J,
., s. :, and will give large Repub-
hcan pluralities for the entire ticket
The things which seem to contribute
to Republican confidence at Mondays
election are the declarations of many
citizens of disgust at the manner in
which the Democratic newspaper has
conducted the campaign; the decision
Of the board of registration in refus-
ing to Investigate the cases of illegal
registration. which has made scores Of
Republican votes; the Identification Of
the department of public works with
the Democratic machine, and Mr. Chap
mans announcement that he would not
re-appoint Mr.. Bradbury. and finally
the startling advice given the wardens
of the several wards by Corporation
Counsel Comedian on Saturday
All Of these things, the Republicans
say, have helped them materially They
anticipate that there will be large
proportion of the stay al home" vote
visit the polling places on Monday and
this will mean a great accession TO the
Republican strength and certain VIC
tory. The claim is being generally
made that many Democrats will vote
for Mr. Chapman for one reason or
another and that these will more than
off set any votes which Mr.. Chapman
may lose because of the outing Of the
Republican ticket by the friends of Mr.
Ingraham the Democratic candidate for
mayor and by those who are friendly to
Mr. Bradbury. The number of those
who will cut the head Of the Republi-
can ticket on account of Mr.. Bradbury
is declared to be much smaller than the
Democrats claim and the Republicans
hold the belief as a result of thor
ough canvass of the situation in the
wards where this cutting is expected to
be done if any is done at all.
