In advance of the big satkering of

by selecting Chicago the Republicans
have decided TO make their great ef-
fort for a reunited party in the very
city which witnessed the beginning of
the split in 1912.

physical problems of the community.
and the natural resources of the coun-
try remain almost completely without
deFelopment--any one, ! say, who has
actually seen these conditions can
hardly refrain from expressing the
conviction that the so-called practical
character of modern European and
American education is one of the most
s!snifcant and important manifesto
tons of the European mind. He must
believe that the dignity and beauty of
life have not been sacrificed by Civ

which permits him to approach the

WITH INVESTIGATION ENDED,
TO WHAT WILL MIND TURN
Many, OF course. will ask what will
You do when You have built all your
railways and canals and bridges-when
you have wrested all her secrets from
nature. and YOU: industry and acri.
culture have reached their maximum
or efficiency? To what source will YOU
then turn for consolation when YOUR
restless spirit of research has moth
ms further to investigate and the con-
quest OF nature has become complete?
We might respond after the manner of
the courts when similar questions are
propounded to them--that we will an
swer that question when conditions
make 1t necessary. For no one Will
venture to say at the present time
that there is not much work to be
done in the nature both of investiga-
ton and Of the application of we'll
recognized scientific principles.
But it is better to recognize what
is undoubtedly the case-that there
are other things in education than the
teaching of ways in which 20 conquer
gin have long history and an eX-
tensive literature, without some know
ledge of which our present life is both
ineNplicable and shorn OF much OF its
attraction. There are things of the
spirit which bulk as large in our lives
as the knowledge and conquest OF ma
terial things. In our pursuit OF know
ledge and in our desire TO improve our
material conditions we should not per-
NIT ourselves to neglect our past nor
overlook the artistic side OF our ma
ture. We must in our educational in
situations, as has been we'll said. learn
how TO live as we'll as how to make
a living.
At the same time the solution of
the problem how to live is not in
consistent with the endeavors. on the
one hand. to enlarge the field of human
knowledge. and thus to encroach upon
the boundaries of the unknown, and on
the other hand by the application of
the scientific method to even what may
be regarded by many as the trivial
things of life, to cnvelop what may he

7 really to be distinguished from former
ideals by reason of the fact that they
are broader and more comprehensive?
We no longer consider education as
purely vocational or purely cultural.
we no longer confne our study 10
theology and philosophy. or to litera-
ture and mathematics.
FUNCTIONS OF MODERN
EDUCATION MANIFOLD
The functions of modern education
indeed are manifold:
In the first place. it cndearors to
transmit TO the present generation a
knowledge of our past. 1t makes us
what those of bygone days did and
thought, hoped for and believed 1t
tea ches us how we should live as the
heirs of European past.
In the second place, educational in
stitutions cndeavor to broaden the field
of knowledge along all conceivable
lines. They encourage research and
Investigation with no Interior practical
purpose. Without such research the
conquest OF nature will be impossible
Unless we can discover new principles
we may reach a time when further
progress will cease.
In the third place. the attempt is
made to apply the scientific principles
of which we already have knowledge
to the conduct of the ordinary affairs
of life. our educational system may.
Of course. provide for the study of
applied science in institutions not con-
nectcd with the universities which
after the European example, may be
confined to instruction in the lore OF
the past and to research and investi-
CATION. There are, however, great
advantages to be derived from the as
ISOLATION OF technical schools with uni
versities. particularly where research
and investigation. with the idea of en-
larging the sum OF human knowledge
are recognized as part of the uni
versity's work. a technical school
which is completely free from uni
vcrsity influences is apt to devote it
self exclusively to the impartinG OF
already existing informa ton, and is
prone to make little, if any. provision
for that research to which advance in
knowledge is due.
Furthermore, at the present time II
Is commonly the case in this country

their professional work. On the as

discuss the question whether this COM
plant is Justified.
In attempting such a discussion. i, is
necessary to distinguish between the
6aims of those seeking an education and
the character OF the education which
is offered.
If We make this distinction, do we.
as matter OF fact. find that the aims
Of those seeking a modern education
are in ans way more practical than
Were the aims OF those who in the good
old days sought TO acquire the knowl-
edge then available?
An examination Of the history of uni
versitics and of such institutions of
learning Is antcdated them would seem
to show that almost everywhere and
at almost every period the primary
purpose OF those seeking an education
has been in very large measure dis
rinctly practical one. This purpose
has been to acquire proficiency in the
profession which They intended to fol-
low. European education has always
been devoted TO the study of those
things which Were believed from age TO

at the close Of his period of study II
has lost this vocational character at
any particular time only in SO far as
there have been retained by tradition
among The subjects in which systematic
instruction has been given those sub
Jects which have ceased to bc OF prac-
iical value, or as attention has not heen
devoted to new subjects which, because
