THE NEW EDUCATION.

A direction In which much activity
Gun be absorbed at once is education.
Since we entered the war the army it.
self has done tremendous amount OF
educating. A new realization of the
value of vocational training has come
over us, and it is one of the lessons
that should not be forgotten, writes
Norman Hapgood in New Republic.
Sovereigns need to be carefully train
ed. II the people are to be sovereign,
they must be educated. The education
of life continues through life. The
whole of life should be laid out on a
theory approaching that of part-time
school. II reduction in the hours of
labor is part of reconstruction, so
equally part of 1t are the steps en-
abling us in the shorter hours to pro-
duce a larger volume of desirable
things. For an adequate system of
education a large number of new
teachers would be required. In n.y.
giene. in new housing plans, in i'm
proved factory conditions. there are
opportunities for inspired direction, for
teaching, learning and executing; but
the only way in which that group of
problems can be worked out Is to have
a community awake to them, eager and
informed.

A matter of immense interest is the
release of the colleges and universe
ties Of the country from military con-
troll. 1t would seem to be easy, but,
with the exception of Yale, the colleges
and universities of the country have
been organized on q basis completely
military and cannot in consequence
turn suddenly from contracts with
their students which are approved by
the government, says New Haven Jour
nal.Courier. Yale, by having provided
that her young men must have passed
the entrance examination before be-
ing indicted into the service, is alone
able to be released from a government
partnership without serious embarrass-
ment. Generally speaking, however,
the return to a peace basis is bound to
be long and tedious.
