Developing Brains

Educators have been arguing
lately whether it is too hard for
young people to pass the examina-
tious required for entrance to col
ieges. Some of the public school
men say the colleges require more
preparation than the high schools
can give. thus making it difficult
for young people without money to
get their education. The colleges
retort that many high schools are
poor and do not properly prepare
students for college. However, the
criticism seems to be having effect,
as some colleges are requiring less
strict entrance tests.
More young people should have
college education 1t fits them for
leadership in the community. 1t
need not be all of one type. A
great many should take courses,
which while largely of liberal cul-
ture, should also give a thorough
Business training. Generous people
should provide more scholarships
so that promising but penniless
students would have a better chance
to get this and other types of educa'
ton.
Also there is need for education
of the older classical type A young
man hopes to spend years at his life
work. 1t is not dlsproportionate tc
take four years for broad prepare.

Labor Adjustment

The biggest internal problem in
the United States today is the har-
monizine of capital and labor The
nation can not 90 on prosper0usly
while large sections of the popula-
ton are embittered and hostile. II
is said that in some shops the en-
ployers can't walk through their
workrooms without being heoted at
by their employees Without at
tempting to say who is to blame,
what earthly chance is there of eff
ficient production or community
progress where the industrial forces
are divided by such spirit?
There is always a tendency to ex-
aggerate labor troubles II there
are fifty shops where employer and
employe get along tremendously
and one where there is conflict, the
one instance of friction excites more
publicity and attention than the SO
peaceful places. Still, the SO peace
full places used to see to it that in
dustrial conditions are on a sound
basis. Social troubles nave way
of spreading.
Where there are long standing
quarrels between different elements
there is frequently fault on both
sides The best way to discover
where the blame lies is for both
parties to get together and talk it
out with as little outside interior
ence as possible
Ia England genuine progress is
being made toward solving their
very serious labor troubles. by shop
councils. Committees of the own
ers and workers meet for regular
discussion of all interests of bot h
parties The idea is being tried out
by constantly increasing number
of concerns in this country. Good
results are reported.
| Most Quarrels occur because peo-
pie have not known or taken into
account the other party's point OF
view. The more one party hears
the other side presented. the more
it realizes that it may have force
in many respects. and the closer
the two points of view get to-
eether,
