REVISE THE COURSES or Study

students In the schools Of the United
states surprisingly few achieve eduoa-
tion Of more than the most rndimen-
iary character. Most OF the pupils
drop out Of the public schools before
the eighth grade Is completed. Com
pnrativoly few OF those who enter the
high school continue their work
through the senior year. Not many
Of those who take high school degrees

those who enter tho freshman year
In schools OF liberal arts ever attain
the bachelors degree.
Something other than lack Of
money or energy on the part OF the
student is responsible for this condi-
ton, and we believe the responsibility
rests largely upon the courses Of study
prescribed by the school authorities
and handed down to us, from gener-
alton, TO generation. with only slight

dirty work to do, so he made the beast
