some facts.in regard to, one of

ing community in the territory
Of the Record. Center school,
in district number "a, of this
county, is just such a school.
The patrons and board of direc-
tons are wide awake to what
they conceive to be the best int
crest of their community. They
secured q liberal aid from the
state and have built a nice ad-
dition to their ole building and
fuonished, and lighted, tho not
heated it in keeping with mod
ern methods. The light all
comes from the rear and left of
the pupils; the desks are all new;
the globes are excellent twelve
inch diameter globes; and a full
set of up-to-date roller maps in
each room. The children have
subscribed the wherewithall to
purchase sea'saws, tennis rack
cts, etc., ard are using them;
and they will soon have NJ their
basket ball goals. and what is
better, the work in the room, as
well as the play on the grounds,
is i'll direct ratio t. the prepare,
ton made for same.
But like all progressive peo-
pie, they were not satisfied land
never will bel. They decided
that the school could not be
complete without a library; and
as the Texas Farm and Ranch
was offering free library units
of 30 volums for every 20 sub
scriSsrs for two years at $1.00,
ara knowing the paper to well

THE EDUCATION OF LINCOLN
By Dr. George Vincent President University
written for the American Jewish World)

srlcan jewish WOrId)
Putting externalities aside let us
ask by what marks we may know the
educated man; that is the man fitted
to understand and to take part effec-
lively in the life of his times. He
must be able to know accurately, to
reason clearly, to judge tolerantly, to
speak convincingly, to feel soundly,
to act steadfastly, to grow steadily, to
live loyalty. These are counsels of
perfection, but true education can aim
at nothing short of these ideals. No

man, however erudite or be-lettered
with degrees, deserves to be called
educated unless he attains in some
measure to all of these powers, and
aims steadily at fuller mastery of
them.
Tested by this standard Lincoln
was an educated man. That he was
self-educated only makes plain the
fact that all education is in a sense
self-education. Schools and colleges
provide the means, guidance and en-
couragement for students. These

Much is made of Lincoln's a
ent limitations. One might easil,
the impression that his career "
kind of miracle; that without {
or self-discipline he rose to le
ship. AS a matter of fact he
singularly we'll prepared by a
patient training for the work he
to do. Instead of being an ur
Gated genius he was a great soul
educated for a mighty task.
There are two theories about
men: the hero theory and the
product-ofthe age theory. Car
lyle stood for the first. He saw
in history little but the lives of
conspicuous, uncaused, almost
miraculous personalities. Spen-
Ger on the other hand held
that leaders are produced by So
cial forces, are made to order
for and by their times. There
is truth in both these extreme
views. A genius cannot be ex-
planned wholly by his age; nor
can he be understood except in
relation to it. If frontier life
"produced" Lincoln, it might
wellhave supplied more like him,
But for his rearing in log cabins
and border countrysides, he
might not have SO perfectly un-
derstood his fellows and so lu-
cidly interpreted his country's
crisis.
On either theory an under
standing of Lincoln's prepara
ton for his task is essential.
Even a great man must be edu-
Gated. The education may be
unconventional but it may not
be sighted. The genius is no
wonder-worker; he cannot sus-
pend the laws of nature and of
humanity. 1t is idle to ask '
would have happened if Lincoln
gone to school and college. AS !
ter of fact, he had barely one yea
formal schooling. Even that
was a sum of several fragments.

scribed his education as "defecti

must educate themselves. Some
lines the advantages thus offered
eem offset by the weakening of per-
onal initiative and responsibility
Conventional education is adapted to
he average man. It is a question
low far it can meet the needs Of
,enius and true greatness. Of Lin
oln DR.. Mabie declares: "No Uni
7ersity of his time could have brought
0 bear SO many vitalizing influences
lpon him, nor could any English de-
'artment have given him SO genuine
nd thorough training for the work
le was to do" To understand, there
ore, Lincoln's life and service we
must see how he used his environ
nent for self-education.
He read insatiably and he mastered
what he read. The Bible, Aesop's
Fables, the Pilgrims Progress,
Robinson Crusoe, Weems' Life
of Washington, the poetry of
Burns were the chief literature
of his early years. Later he
read Shakespeare's plays with
keen interest He genuinely ap-
propriated these works. He
could not be content until he had
made the words and phrases his
own. At time when horid and
extravagant public speech was
the fashion, Lincoln drew from
his reading the simplicity,
strength and terseness of the
style to which he gave distinc-
tion
But Lincoln studied more
than printed books. He ponder
ed the book of human life. He
frequented the gatherings of the
countrysides; he talked and de-
bated with his fellows; he
listened to shrewd comments
upon men and affairs. He re-
fected upon all that he saw and
heard. He learned to know life
as it is. He lived at close quar-
tiers with reality. Within the
range of his reading and expe-
rience he had accurate knowl-
1ge, not mere information.
Lincoln disciplined himself in the
TT of convincing speech until in
ter years, Greeley called him "the
oremost convincer of his time" In
is boyhood and youth the future
resident repeated sermons he had
card; he preached to his playmates
: made stump speeches; he walked
lies to participate in debates. Thus

IN PEACE AS WELL AS
WAR

m F the liquor traffic is an
evil in wartime it must
follow that it is an evil in
peace, says the Spokesman
Review. A traffic that impairs
a country's fighting efficiency
will also impair its industrial
efficiency when that country is
at peace.
All the great warning powers
have now branded the liquor
traffic as a demoralizing influ-
ence on national character and
efficiency. Russia has forbid
den the sale of vodka, Germany
has restricted the manufacture
of beer, France has prohibited
the use of strong liquors, and
now Lloyd George is preparing
to take over the liquor business
nationally in order to limit and
restrict alcoholic consumption.
A drunken nation can not
win in battle, and to the ex-
tent that drunkenness is i'm
pairing the efficiency of Brit
ish workmen it is impairing
England's chance of winning
the war. The traffic handi-
caps the British in another
way. It consumes industry in
its own production, and adds
to the congestion Of traffic on
the railroads.
If from the plain lessons of
the war, the fighting nations
could now negotiate a peace
that contained a compact to
prohibit the manufacture and
sale of liquor in all their do.
mains, and would hold to it,
that lesson, if it could have
been had in no other way,
would be worth all and more
that the war has cost.

SERVICABLE EDUCATORS
TAR. SUZZALLO, president
~ of the University of
~ uyI.4 - -,

R. SUZZALLO, president
~ of the University of
Washington, has set peo-
pie talking by a spirited ad-
dress made before the state
teachers association in Port
land. He is an educator of the
new school, with little patience
for some of the old notions:
Education such as we have
had dealt largely with history
and civics and other similar
subjects" he said, mental
processes. Now in the voca-
tional field we have technical
processes. These institutions
have existed for centuries as
differentiations. Now the
problem is to weld them to-
gether.
"The task before us is the
reinterpreting of a liberal ed
ucation in the language of a
culture of today"
The function of the school is
not merely to equip the stu
dent with knowledge but to
show him how to utilize his
equipment in the practical pur-
poses of life. AS Samuel
Blythe says, the only wisdom
that is really worth while is
the wisdom that brings home
the bacon.
While there is still much to
criticise with reference to
school work it is encouraging
to know that present methods
are incomparably better thar
the old.
