Before an audience that packed the
First Congregational Church, he con-
trasted the complexities of modern life.
both rural and metropolitan. with con-
ditions two or three generations ago,
which he said must be met by advanced
methods of education.
Not Teaching Tricks"
I'VE are not trying to teach tho chill

able them merely to go out and make q
profit for some employer" said DR..
Claxton In discussing Tendencies to
Adapt Education to the Needs of Life. -
Instead we want to give them more
freedom. We want them to have a
liberal education that embraces the
fundamental science OF their vocation
We have almost suddenly. come to
realize that the Commonwealth depends
On the ability OF the individual to pro-
duce. American industry is becoming
more and more democratic, and the
problem of vocational training il COM
Ing to be one of the fundamentals in
our school life.
we are realizing also that the chill
dren of one occupation have Just as
much right to learn the fundamentals
OF one calling as those Of another.
heretofore we have paid special atten-
ton to the professions. The pupils who
were to be doctors or lawyers or teach
ers were given the advantage. Today
We are Offering the same opportunities
to those who are to lay pavements,
build houses. till the soil, or follow in

Six-Year Course.
DR.. Claxton was roundly applauded
when he said that the courses OF study
should be rearranged to provide a six
year course In the grade schools and a
six-year course In the high schools.
such change was already imminent
In several leading cities. he said. and
vas eventually inevitable. The speaker
further said that he strongly favored
q universal high school education. and
that 20 per cent of the youth OF the

Washington Rival of Paris.

Have you ever thought of Washington
as a rival of Paris?
New York has confidently taken upon
herself the guidance of women's fash
ions while war RACES in Europe. Perhaps
this confidence is natural. At all events
most of us complacently look on while
New York works enthusiastically for
American fashions. and plans, by ana
by. to take the place Of Paris as the
creator and center of American style.
Some Of tn, public-spirited women Of
Washington are agitating Washington as
the fashion capital Of the United States.
Nobody can yet predict with certainty
that Paris will not remain the center of
the worlds fashions. Paris will do her
best to maintain the position that she
has gained through centuries Of en-
deavor. Many patriotic Americans have
no desire to see Paris thrust from her
well-earned place.
But the war may force Paris to lose
her position. And the women in this
country who are agitating for American
made fashions may have their way. II
they do. why should not Washington be-
come the fashion center of the New
World? Here are gathered women of
fashion and taste from all over the coun-
try, from all over the world. Washing
ton dressmakers have imagination. abil-
ity. So the women who favor Washing
ton fashions are doing their best to in
augurate their plan.
