SCHOOLS NEED MONEY

That the school board Of Wilmington
will be without funds with which to
run the public schools after April was
the statement made at the meeting of
the school board Monday, and another eff
fort will be made to have City Council
come to its rescue and allow more
money. If this is not done it will be ne
cessary to close the schools.
The situation is climax of a mis-
understanding between the members Of
the school board and the members Of
Council, which has existed for sometime.
The Council was asked by the school
board to make an additional appropria-
ton for schools so that deficit of the
previous year might be covered. The
school board people held that it had
been necessary to build a new school
house. Council held that the school
board should rem ain within it's appro-
priation the same as any other body,
and declared that it had no authority to
allow the additional amount.

new EDUCATIONAL IDEALS
ARE FULLY NET BY The
BRIGHAM YOUNG COLLEGE

ing to the higher professions, the
main purpose of the school is to
train students for the profession of
teaching, a life work wherein both
men and women supply their indi-
vidual needs as also the needs of
the state and the government. The
demand for Normal graduates is
greater than the supply, and many
young boys and girls are employed
in the schools long before they are
prepared, thus bringing down the
standards of education. More and
more the demand for experts to
train the children is being made and
the art of the teacher is reaching
value hitherto unthought of few
years ago. The practice teaching
which the student does in the Nor
NAL school prevents the waste OF
state funds in training incompetent
teachers while employed in the SER
vice, not forgetting the injury done
to the children themselves in the
process. If apprenticeship is a was
teful process in commercial life, it
is doubly wasteful in the education
Of the young. 1t is scarcely neces-
sary to argue the question Of train
ing teachers. The need is so appar-
ent. A number of mechanical scales
have recently appeared for the meas
urement Of teachers. 1t is difficult
to measure this profession Of pro-
fessions. 1t is almost impossible for
the teacher to specialize. He must
know everything, he must feel ev-
erything. he must be everything, IL
he would fulfill the needs of our
present day civilization. The uni
versatility and background of Sha-
kespeare falls short when 1t is real
lied that not what he knows and can
express but also his personality and
heart force are equally important IL
he would lead others on the road to
successful living.
To train teachers in accordance
with the foregoing ideals Normal
Training school must be many sided
In its interests. Students must have
sound bodies, strong brains and
clean hearts. They must be trained
in the vocations, as there can be no
culture until the physical comforts
of life are first supplied. Students
must be trained to think and to
create out of present material new
and better ways of doing work.
Students must be taught religion
which will help them to live a grand
and happy life no matter what their
inherited tendencies and present en-
vironment may be. Above all stud

They must be socially educated in
order to get on smoothly with the
world. Religious fanatics, bombas-
tic social reformers, financial giants
have had their day and served their
purpose. The world demands clean.
honest men, men of faith and works;
men who talk less and lift more.
men who believe in the goodness OF
human life and whose motives are
to advance civilization and promote
human welfare. To the end of pro-
ducing men and women of this type
the Brigham Young college is con-
stantly striving.
While the tendency OF the college
has ever been to train students for
the vacations il contends that the
cultural subjects must not be slight
ed. 1t is believed that the tend
ency of the present age to CONNER
cialize and place money value on
all productions OF the land as well
as the brain is deteriorating in it's
results and will surely end in ruin.

righteous living are not constantly
taught to the coming generation.

must be fitted vocationally to earn
an honorable living for himself and
children. He must give to the wor-
Id enough useful labor to insure a
return to him of the necessaries of
life. If he does not have this am
bition and gets his living from the
toll Of others, he is no better than
the parasitic worm in the apple.
Who. created in the image of the
Creator, would care to adopt the
creed of n worm? To this end,
that all may be self-supporting the
college offers courses in Normal
training, Mechanic Arts. Domestic
Science and Arts, and Commercial
Training. with all the related sub
iects required to make student
capable in his profession or trade
The period OF apprenticeship is pas
sed forever. Competition demands
efficiency. Efficiency from the
start. Employers no LONGER can af-
ford to train inexperienced and in
competent workmen. They ask for
men who are quick to adapt them
selves from the first day Of employ
ment. This change in trade condi-
tons has necessarily changed the
high school and college curricula
The worlds workers must go to col
lege while in former years only
those who desired social and cultur-
al subjects attended these institu-
lions. The rise of the masses and
the decline Of aristocracy has chang
! ed the educational ideals of the en-
tire country. The work of the
schools reaches an Importance never
known in the history of the world
before and the work Of the teacher
becomes at last, not the work of a
few impractical book worms, who
were At for nothing else, but the
work Of deep sighted intelligent men
and women, thoroughly trained in
the needs and problems OF daily
life. Men and women who value
human life to the extent that they
will make teaching life profession
to the sacrifice Of other professions.
men and women who work for the
love of the art as do the poet and
artist. The work OF the teacher is
great because it comprises all the
needs OF humanity. The work of
the teacher is to help humanity to
satisfy all those needs in consist
ent and honest way.
Although the Brigham Young
College offers splendid opportunity
to students to prepare themselves
for the work of the business world,
the home, and towards degrees lead
