The New Education

While American educators are wrang-
ling over the perennial question Of the
value of the study of the ancient classics
it is worth while to note the fact that the
war is forcing the problem of the new
education upon the British public, and
that the question there means something
more than the old dilemma of Science or
Greek" over which men have been quar-
relling ever since the days of Huxley.
In the chapter on. "The New Educa-
ton" in H. G. Wells's last book, What
Is Coming" the writer suggests the need
of more serious study of philosophy.
Nothing reveals more clearly than this
suggestion what it is that thoughtful Eu-
ropeans are learning from this war. If
democracy is to survive it must rid itself
Of it's traditional superfciality. 1t must
learn to think in new way about some
of the big realities. For half century
philosophy has been taboo with the Brit
ish and American publics, an amusing
pastime for impractical theorists and
dreamy "highbrows.' We have permitted
rupture between theoretical and prac-
teal thinking. One result of the war
will be TO bridge over this gulf.
But Mr.. Wells does not advocate a
return to nebulous transcendentalism, nor
"the Anticipated pretence Of reading Plato
and Aristotle" nor even the abstruse
mental gymnastics Of German logicians.
He argues for more courageous thinking
about fundamentals; "a thorough and
subtle examination Of the great questions
of life that most exercise and strengthen
the mind" in order TO develop a citizen
ship trained in swift and adequate criti-
cism." He says that the philosophical
habit Of thinking is "the essential diff
ference between an educated and com
mon person. no matter how many
languages one knows or how much tech
nical skill he has.
To be educated one must have Thought
out thoroughly and clearly the relations
Of his mind to the universe as whole
and of himself TO the state and life."
"Our fundamental purpose in all this re-
form of higher education is neither knowl-
edge nor technical skill, but to make
young men talk less and think more"
"A country Of educated men acts coher-
entity, smites swiftly, plans ahead; a
country of confused education is coun-
try Of essential muddle."
Much has been said in New York Of
late, and rightly said, about the made
quacy Of mere bread and butter" educa-
ton. Practical training is no experiment
with us. We see how it tends, when it
is all one has, TO produce a species Of
superficial adroitness along with slight
sense Of the larger interests; a lop-sided
creature is developed with a high class
trained animal efficiency, but with little
knowledge Of what it is all about, crude
tastes and less imagination than he was
horn with.

PRAYER to the Mountain Spirit

From the Navajo)
Lord of the Mountain,
Reared within the Mountain,
Young Man, Chieftain,
Hear a young mans prayer!
Hear a prayer for cleanness.
Keeper of the strong rain
Drumming on the mountain,
Lord of the small rain
That restores the earth in newness,
Keeper of the clean rain,
Hear a prayer for Wilderness.
Young Man, Chieftain,
Hear a prayer for feetness.
Keeper of the deer's way,
Reared among the eagles,
Clear my feet Of slothness.
Keeper of the paths of men,
Hear a prayer for straightness.
Hear a prayer for braveness.
Lord of the thin peaks,
Reared amid the thunders,
Keeper of the headlands
That uphold the earth in harvest,
Keeper of the strong rocks
Hear prayer for stanchness.
Young Man, Chieftain,
Spirit of the Mountain!

Where the Fight Was

In the place where the fight was
Across the river,
In the place where the fight was
Across the river:
A heavy load for a woman
To lift in her blanket,
A heavy load for q woman
To carry on her shoulder.
In the place where the fight was
Across the river.
In tho place where the fight was
Across the river:
The women 60 wailing
To gather the wounded,
The women 20 wniling
To pick up the dead.

SUES JOHN BARRYMORE
BECAUSE OF BEATING
Electrician Says Assault Followed
Spotlight Failure.

NEW YORK, June 2s.-Frederick
Schopp, stage electrician at the Re
public Theater, has begun an action
for $4,000 damages against John
Barrymore, who played the title role
in Peter Ibbetson," which reesntly
closed for the summer. Mr.. Schopp
asks that amount for an alleged
beating that he charges Mr.. Barry
more gave him the night of May 81.
Because q spotlight was not thrown
on him in one Of the dream scenes, 1t
Is said that Barrymore attacked
sehopp at the. close Of the scene.
Schopp had nothing to do with the
operation Of the spotlight. the man
agement says.
In his complaint Schopp says: THE
defendant did beat, bruise, wound and
otherwise did threaten, abuse and i'll
treat this plaintiff and without the
slightest cause 81 provocation did
deliberately and in a brutal manner
strike this plaintiff. causing plaintiff
to strike against a wooden post, and
the plaintiff was thereby made i'll, sore,
and disabled from attending to his
business and was compelled to pay tor
medical attendance and has been and
for q long time will be, sick, sore
and bruised"
Schopp also alleged that he is a
sufferer with diabetes, and that his i'll
ness has been aggravated as { result
of the attack by the actor.
Barrymore, who is stopping with
his sister, Mrs. Russell G. Colt, at her
house at Mamaroneck, said last night
that he had not been informed that
any action had been brought against
him, and that he could not make any
comment on 1t.
