We working men. farmers. mechanics

do we want as assessor, as represen-
tative, as county officials?
The decision will be made by vote
at the primaries. We can decide there
whether any self seeking selfish Of

our own choosing We can name the
candidate this year We can see TO
it that no disruption comes about by

Too Many FriEIs and FurbeIows

Addressing the graduating class at

John Bassett Moore put his finger upon
what not a few practical and experi-
enced educators in different sections
OF the country are coming more and
more 70 regard as q menacing weak
ness IN the modern systems of popu-
lar education. Il believe" said Mr
Moore, the great defect in educq-
uonal activities in the United States
during the past fifty years to have
been the tendency towards superb.
ciality. as exempl'hed in the exces-
sve multiplication OF the subjects pro.
fessedly taught and in the encourage
ment given TO immature and unin.
formed pupils 10 taste promiscuously
but not too inquisitively. the viands
set before them"
That the public school curriculum
should be reasonably broadened to
keep pace with the demands of the
times is proposition which there
will be few. if any. to dispute. but. ef-
fect'ng this broadening, il should be
always and well borne in mind that
the mental capacity of the child is
limited To attempt to teach the
youthful pupil too much is almost
certain 20 result in the pupil learning
nothing well. Educational frills and
furbelows may be all right in their
way, but when acquired at the ex-
pense Of the fundamentals, they be,
come a hindrance rather than a
help and serve to impede rather than
TO advance the securing Of a real edu-
cation. The only house that may be
relied on to stand when the winds
