SURVEY At FORT DODGE WOULD
SHOW PRESENT ACADEMIC
EDUCATION NARROW.
BOYS SHOW LACK OF
INTEREST IN WORK
Seventy Per Cent Of Seventh Grade
Boys DO Not Enter High School
Half Of This Number Quit School
Thru Lack Of Interest and Not From
Financial Necessity.
)ecial to es-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Ames, July 16.-Defnite figures
which emphasize the fact that the
present type Of academic education in
the schools is too narrow in it's appeal
and that the solution undoubtedly lies
in the introduction of more vocational
education, have been collected by, E..
Il. Sniverly, supervisor of manual
training at Fort Dodge. and Just pub
lished by the engineering extension de-
partment at Iowa State College, Ames.
Briefly, some of the conclusions of
the survey made of the sixth and sew
enth grades in Fort Dodge shows that;
In the Fort Dodge schools so per
cent of the boys reaching 6 and I do
not enter high school; in fact, 10 per
cent of the boys in the seventh grade
dropped out before completing the
grade school course
More than 30 per cent of these
dropped out because of lack of inter-
est and not from financial necessity.
Got tired Of doing nothing; Too
much sitting around: Wanted to go
to work; Got tired of books; were
some of the typical comments Of the
boys
1t was the attitude of the boys and
not the parents that WAS the deciding
factor in keeping the boy in school.
Boys who dropped out Of school
were not prepared to decide upon or
perform any definite useful work and
did not enter occupations, as rule,
in which there was an opportunity for
advancement.
1T is clear that the present academic
type of education in the schools is all
too narrow in its appeal" says X. G..
Smith, head Of the engineering extern
sion department at Iowa State College,
who is big force in pushing for vo-
cational education in the state.
. Value of Vocational Training.
"Over so per cent Of the total popu-
lation is capable of profiting by spe-
cialized instruction beyond the mastery
Of the common branches Of study, and
for the vast majority this specialized
training should be vocational"
whats the use Of it all, which is a

CONSCIENTIOUS" DIRECTORS.
Peculiar Product Of This latter Day
ANGLO American Civilization.

Part Of the interest attaching to the
c.. O. is that he is novel: people do not
vetf know how to deal with him. He
makes his first public appearance IN the
present war. There Is no mention OF
him in old wars. none in the Had. none
in Caesars DE Bello Calico" none in
the story Of Napoleon's campaigns, nor
in Napier's Peninsula War;" nor in
Kinglake's History of the Crimean
War" mono in the records of our civil
war.
But the c. o. as we know him today.
is new: he is a product OF Anglo-Amer-
lean civilization. He Is unknown on
the continent. Biologists do not ex-
plain him; psychologists have not yet
published the results of their investi-
cation.
The old conception was that man
who had broken the bread and eaten
the salt of community. who owed all
he had to the CO operation OF the mein-
bers of that community. who III no had
conscientiously objected to share the
benefits conferred on him by society
would be n lonely savage fighting wild
beasts with n club-that such man
owed something to the community. But
this idea does not hold good with the
C. O, He accepts the benefits OF pro-
lection, security, order Gall of which
were obtained by bloody fighting
against tyranny and wrong). but he
conscientiously objects to taking any
part in maintaining those benefits.
The c. o. perceives intellectually
that Greek civilization prevailed In
Europe and not Persian because of
Thermopylae. Marathon. Salamis, that
Christian civilization exists there and
not Mohammedan because Charles
Martel and the Crusaders fought. that
he is not O. serf because Englishmen
extorted by force the Magma Charta
from King John. that he Is not Brit
ish subject because the Declaration of
Independence was upheld BY Washing
ton and Lafayette. and that Cuba is
free because America fought the Span
iards. OF all these fightings he con-
scientiously accepts the benefits.
The G. 0. Is peculiar. His conscience
let's him look on while Germans and
Turks burn, ravage, rape, deport; lets
him foresee all these horrors repeated
again in the future II military autoc-
racy shall continue: let's him foresee
or this war ends with the status quo
ante) how huge military preparations
will turn all governments into military
relationships: let's him be Indifferent
whether or no this world shall be a
safe place for democracy, but 1t will
not suffer him to lift~a finger In de-
Tense Of what he admits he believes to
be right. g.
His conscience Is not disturbed when
the regular army patrols the Mexican
border, nor when the navy guards our
shores, nor when policemen protect his
house, his wife, his children. even him
self: but when CONSUMPTION Is the law
OF the land. approved by an over
whelming majority, and he may be
called to protect others, his conscience
suffers the twinges Of the damned.
The conscience Of the c. O. Is i'm
pressively interesting. but it Is difficult
to see biologically why it should have
been produced. for it causes great per-
plexity and snme trouble to normal
people,
