How does it happen that wide-awake
educators everywhere in these United
States are advocating printing as a fact
or in public school education? Ideals are
changing. A good school is no longer re-
garded as place where spotless boys and
girls sit up in rows and refrain from
whispering. They must be at work.
Work in school no longer means eyes
on the book" and "learn every word by
heart" Children are no longer condemn
ed to "stay in at recess" for getting spots
Of ink on their fingers or to stay after
school for dropping pencils. They must
do things with their hands. Life out Of
school means doing things that way. The
best equipment for such life is not Sc
cured by sitting with clean hands, and
ones head in book for ten years. Child
rem have always resented that They mu-
st be doing things really worth while.
Bluff Is not good form any more. A man
has to "get down to brass tacks" nova
days. So lon gas a boy is allowed to belle
We that he can deceive his teacher and re-
ceive credit for knowing lie from Ell by
writing an u in the middle Of these words
and putting dot over the middle OF that
Just SO long is he being educated in the
wrong direction. Teachers are beginning
to realise this. HE CAN'T COME THAT
GAME WITH TYPE. Pull has had its
day. A man now has to deliver the goods
himself. So long as boy thinks his faith
or can get teacher or supervisor to give
credits for work he never did, just 70
long he is educated for graft. HIS FAITH
Err CANNOT INFLUENCE THE
COUNT OF THE JOB PRESS! Bluff
and pull are now reconized as only SIM
-oother names for graft. Graft will soon
be 3 thing Of the past It has been given
Its deathbl0w through publicity, Tor
which we have to thank the types and
printing pess. Nowadays, man or boy
has to Smake good" on his own merits.
The schools must teach him how through
the most useful channels. Efficiency IS
the new watchword. It also means gett-
ing most out Of material saving time,
stopping leakage cutting costs increasing
output. So long aschildren see that they
can scrawl on paper, dawdle "doover,"
and at last produce only something Tor
the waste basket and the furnace, just 50
long are they being educated to ineffici-
ency. "A printing plant will transform all
that The use Of printing press and types
in school means catering inspiration, or
iginality, and logical thinking. "You may
lead horse to water, but you can't make
him drink. is only another way OF say
ing, "You can, make achild 60 to school,
but you cannot make him think" With
out the child being taught to think log
ically and in proper sequence any effort
y towards educating him is merely 'love's
labor lost" Provide the pupil with the
tools Of printing; teach him beauts by
means Of comparison between printed pr
oduets: inspire him with desire to crea-
be harmonious effects; then guide his at,
temps along those lines created by exper-
fence; and you viii obtain pedagogical
product that is enable to depend on his
own resources efficient original and
industries. It has been stated that over
nine hundred schools have installed print
ing outfits. It would be an impossibility
to deceive that number Of educators re-
gording the educational value Of printing.
