Ripping Rhymes
BY WALT MASON.
THE MODEL KID.

How sweet the child who says, /
will, when weary father cries, Il wish
you'd take an ak and kill about mil
lion flies" The child who's active
to obey, who heeds, with cheerful
brow, whatever Pa or Ma may say, is
worth more than a cow. | have a
pair of young galoots, and when I bid
them work. they answer me, You bet
your boots and never think to shirk. /
say to them, Go rake the leaves from
off the lawn today; they get their
rakes and neither grieves that he
must quit his play. say 10 them. 60
paint the pump, and NOW the priceless
grass" and they go to it on the jump,
and hand me back no sass. For such
a wholesome brace OF kids, 1t Is a
JOY TO toll, TO buy them underwear
and lids, and cake and castor oil. How
sharper than a serpent's tooth, how
worthless and how bad, Is that un.
seemly. graceless youth, who won't
obey his dad! For him the world will
hold no prize. the dump will be his
bourne; he'll live unloved, and when
he dies. no soul in town will mourn.

THE OFFENSIVE SPIRIT

This gem Is picked out or the eol-
torial observations Of an Ohio contenl-
porary that processes to be a Repuoli-
can. newspaper: There is no true
politics that stands aloof from the soul
Of things. Chickering's. temperatures
and inside tumuits only take 1t away
from its native heath. The Repuoll-
can party of Fremont and Lincoln still
lives, and it has as important duty
to perform as It had In its natal days;
and that duty is TO purify and ennooie
politics and bring it in line with. the
divine spirit OF the nation very
good; but considering the course pur-
sued by the paper quoted In the re-
cent campaign, We cannot reconcile II
with anything else but the rankest n.y.
pocrisy.
The judgment Of Wilson was that
the Republican party was akin TO a
den OF thieves. that 1t was consplr-
acy for war! That was the substance
Of his prediction deliverance that
frightened some timid and credulous
people. There was no time in the his
tory Of the country that the Repuon-
can party offered more definite hopes
Of the future than in the last election
with an incompatible leader. Yet our
sanctimonious Ohio contemporary mt
ed itself into a pharisaical position, a
boiler than thou" plane and set Its
judgement up against the proved vlr-
tues and unimpeached patriotism OF
Charles Evans Hughes 1t flopped TO
the husks Of Democracy. and now Ike
the prodigal it is paving its way TO
sneak home
The Republican party does live. in
spite of the wounds 1t has received
from its supposed friends. 1t has sur
yived by the inherent strength of Its
cohesive principles. Posthumous
praise from a fading faction cannot
add TO it's glory nor much OF anything TO
the conservation of destiny appoint
ed by the people. of the people and for
the people. The door OF repentance
is open to all who strayed away, put
the wanderers cannot hope to come
in and pretend that out OF them all
righteousness must come. II is they
who need regeneration. not the loyal
sons who remained in the fathers
house.

4 PRACTICAL IDEAL|ST

DR.. William Hill, formerly one Oh

found il in their surroundings. Those
who have read Herbert Quicks

appreciate William Hill. His last VEN
lure has been the organization OF an
agricultural department at Bethany
College in West Virginia. He has neen
there three Yeas and now bethany
has a college farm that pays (Which
can hardly be said of the farms or
many of the agricultural colleges IN
America) and Bethany turns out farm
ers who go back and make money out
Of their soil and cattle and hogs and
who do not seek the small tax payed
jobs offered by teaching and farm
demonstration work.

DOLLARS AND CULTURE
of Vocational Education Comparable Wit
Ultimate Economic Advantage of Academic Course
By FRANK ANDREWS FALL, LIT. D..
Bursar of New York University.

One might infer. from the present
concentration OF the spotlight upon
vocational education, that 1t IS some
thing altogether new. Such an infer
euce must be vastly amusing to the
shades of departed educators, from
Spencer and Huxley down to Wash
ington of Tuskegee. Or to the father
OF Franklin, who took the young Ben
jamin around TO inspect the varied in
duStries Of Boston, that he might see
which occupation most appealed 10
him.
The idea is, Of course, not new, but
II is making remarkable Roadway. Ed.
ucators the world over recognize II as
something that demands. and must be
accorded, serious consideration. one
has only 10 glance at current pedaSog,
ic publications and programs Of educa-
tional meetings 10 see now fully lhe
vocational propaganda is absorbing
the attention Of schoolmen every
where.
In the colleges and universities are
being asked such questions as these:
How is this rapidly expanding idea OF
vocational training going to affect us ;
How will it change our currlcuia. our
methods Of teaching. the personnel OF
our student body. the type of finished,
or partly finished, produce We turn
out on graduation day? And parttcu'
larly what will be the result If our
whole point Of view be shifted, and
we make what is in effect a substito-
ton Of vocational for academic eul'
cation?
Answers to these questions are curl.
ously varied. They bring out the fact
that there appear TO be several fairly
wplI.defined groups among college AL.
ministrators. Some stand fat-footei
for the ancient faith. As they see It.
a college education can mean but one
thing,-four years Of academic studies.

though it has no official existence. ex'
cept that which is assumed. The &C.
centric Frank P. Walsh is letter-heao-
cd as the chairman Of this commit
tee" He was also chairman OF the
government commission appointed oE
President Wilson, which accomplished
no good. but created great zeal Oh
unrest. Mr.. Walsh has carried his oio
crouch against capital into his new
propasanda, which supports the con-
tentions OF the impossible Industrial
workers OF the World, which is moth
ing more than an offshoot OF anarchy.
In the literature so Tar submitted 10
us we find no plea for industrial peace
no suggestion for composition OF la
Dor troubles, but an ingenious defense
OF the depredatlons OF the INDUSTRIAL
Workers. The lntelligencer freely
confesses that II has no sympathy
with ain agitation OF that character.
= The Industrial Workers OF the
World are not workers but disturoer
Of those who are at work. Organized
labor has long ago repudiated any
sympathy for or connection with this
organization. Union labor respects the

Union labor merely pleads for justice
the Industrial Workers demand lnJus

that Mr.. Walsh Is playing the part OF
