public schools. Boys and girls come

man, "and many of them bright

unframed in the rudirnents in which

would give them thorough grinding.
They write abnormally, can't spell
the simplest words, haven't the most
elementary ideas of arithmetic. OF
course there are exceptions. But the
public schools are not maintained for
the exceptions. They ought to give
training to the average child, for it is
the average man, and not only the ex-
ceptional ones who pay the school
taxes. After these youngsters start
to work for us we give them better
training for business than they ever
get in school A month with US gives
