tensive manual training in the schools
1t has naturally followed the tremen-
dous industrial development which
has marked the past generation. The
capitalists of the United States are
now girding on their armor for their
greatest conflict--that with Germany,
England and Japan for the conquest
of the open markets of the world Our
victories thus far have been won much
more through the possession Of colos-
sal quantities of cheap raw material
than through any large knowledge or
degree of adaptability on the part of
either our capitalists or workers. So
our factories and offices are hungry
for cheap brains-young brains from
the middle class, trained in the great
technical schools of our universities,
and young brains from the working
class, developed in the technical de-
partments of our high schools and
grammar schools.
Progressive educators are every
where developing the movement for
the use of school buildings on even
ings, holidays and Sundays. Moving
picture entertainments are being fur
nished free. Our excellent school au-
ditoriums are being thrown open for
public lectures of all kinds. The
school center is being organized in
Rochester, New York. This movement
! is bound to develop in every commun-
ity and the Socialist party should ev-
erywhere seek to urge it forward as
rapidly as possible and make it serve
the ends of sound working class edu-
cation. With the coming of the eight
hour day, young working people will
wish to continue their studies after
they leave school. At present the eve
ming courses, like the high schools and
universities, are being perverted to-
ward production of an army of social
ly worthless and largely unemployed
professionals. The watchword of the
new higher education in school extern
sion work should be education for the
worker on the job" Let the unskilled
proletariat be given instruction in
French, German and Italian literature,
in history, government and economics,
in pure science and fine arts. What
nonsense for the young boiler-maker
to go to a night school and employ
more and better boilers when he
should be reading Plato's Republic
and learning to play the violin.
This thought suggests the ultimate
of our Socialist attitude toward edu-
cation. "EDUCATION IS NOT A
PREPARATION FOR LIFE; EDUCA-
ITION IS LIFE ITSELF" AS the time
allotted to labor grows less and less
and thus the time for leisure increases
our schools will grow and grow and
grow. Municipal theatres, gymnasia,
Fairgrounds, lighthouses, music halls
and art galleries will eventually be
| placed under the direction of school
committees. Everybody will be going
to school throughout life.
Only with such an ideal of public
education can Socialist school teach
er or board member today perform
his full duty to the working class.

BY Frank Bonn
In the International Socialist

Review
This is now the most discussed sub
ject in school circles. What should
the schools do toward making the
child worker, toward developing his
efficiency? We can understand the
subject only by approaching It from
the point of view of the history Of
education and especially the history
of our American public schools. 1t
would be a very great error to con.
ceive that educational systems have
in the past been founded by ruling
classes for the sole purpose of main
tanning and developing their power
over subject classes.
The first public schools for peas
ants and working people were estab.
lished by the absolute monarchs of
Prussia, The cause lay as much as
anything else in that dogma of Protes-
tantism that the free will required
that each should read the Bible for
himself. This view was emphasized
more by Puritanism than by Luther.
anism and led to the foundation of
the public school system of New Eng
land, under the Puritanic theocracy.
Yet, naturally enough, class interest
has been the greatest force in the up
building of the public school system
of America
When the agricultural democracy
established its power in the frontier
states west of the Allegheny noun
tains, they introduced universal suf-
frage. For once on earth the spade
and the hoe took the place of sceptre
and the sabre. 1t was the theory of
the frontier that good citizenship re-
quired at least a modicum of educa-
ton. When, a generation later, under
the influences of the first labor move.
ment and the Jacksonian democracy,
theworking class of the middle east
ern states fought for political enfran-
chisement, they demanded free pub
lie schools as well. Even today it is
the theory of the average old-fash-
toned bourgeois that the worker
should have just enough education to
make him a good citizen" That is,
he should learn to read and write and
learn to remain silent in public meet
ings while lawyers and politicians tell
him how to vote.
The progressive bourgeois, how
ever, has brought forth totally new
view of education. This is now being
developed in detail and discussed from
every angle in scores of books and
magazine articles. The child should
be made more useful that Is, use
full to his employer. He should spend
less time at books and more in learn
ing how to handle tools. Girls should
be taught how to cook economically,
to the end that the workers grocery
bill may be kept within the limits of
his weekly wage. The schools, in
short, should be turned into work
shops and the capitalists saved the
trouble and expense of producing
skilled workers through private eff
fort.
This is the argument, open or CO.
vert, of the bourgeois advocate of ex-
