kent's Hill Principal
Defends Academy System

That the seminaries and academies
are playing an extremely important
part in the educational system Of Maine
and are fully as much needed now as
before the establishment Of so many
free high schools, is the claim Of Prin.
j. o. Newton Of kent's Hill Seminary.
He was asked for his views on the sub
Ject on account of the recent attack on
the American school system by Profess
scr Dallas Lore Sharpe Of Boston Uni
versity in which he claimed that all the
private schools of the country should be
closed.
THE need OF the old seminary and
academy is greater than ever" said
Principal Newton. There are, MANY
country districts in Maine too sparcely
populated to support a public high
school. and the young people. il educat-
ed at all, must be sent away to school.
The city high schools do not quite fll
the requirements as the one-session
plan leaves students from out Of town
with too much time on their hands
when they are not under the oversight
Of teachers or parents. The best place
for such students is in the, seminary or
academy under responsible guardian
ship.
THE fitting schools are playing an
other very important part in Maine edu.
cation. Many young pepole. through
no fault OF their own, have been de-
layed in their school life or leaving
school too early. wake up to the great
need of more education. These Young
men and women will not return to the
home high school but are glad to enter
the fitting schools.
The schools mentioned by Professor
Sharpe are distinctly private schools,
His belief that they should be abol-
ished is because he considers that all
the children in every town should 10
to the same school. He would have the
boys and girls Of rich parents minEle In
the closet possible contact with the
children OF lesser means in order to de-
veiop a better citizenship. He insists
that American children should be reared
under more cosmopolitan conditions. the
great advantage Of such contact having
been shown in the development Of our
boys in France.
THE Maine fitting schools are not of
that type. There is no exclusiveness
among the students. no distraction be-
tween boys and girls Of wealthy or poor
parents. Thirty-three per cent Of the
students at Kent's Hill are from towns
having no high schools. Practically one
quarter Of the student body receive
some form Of scholarship aid. thus at
testing to the presence Of children from
homes where parents have been OBLIGED
to sacrifice for their children's intellec-
tual advancement. Children Of prosper.
GUS business men are also found hero In
large numbers but In all her 100 wears Of
service. class barriers have never exist

Industrial Unrest.

The report of President Wilson $
industrial conference in Washing
, ton sets forth the causes of indus
trial unrest as it has found them in
three months of investigation. They
make an appalling array as enum-
Grated:
The rise in the cost Of living. un-
restrained speculation, spectacular
instances of excessive profits, ex-
cessive accumulation and misuse of
| wealth. inequality and readjustment
Of wage schedules, release Of ideas
and emotions by the war. social
revolutionary theories imported from
Europe, the belief that free speech is
restricted, the intermittency OF en-
ployment, fear Of unemployment
unnecessarily high infant mortality
in industrial centers, loss Of per-
sonaI contact in large industrial
units and the elimination Of a grow
ing belief on the part of both en-
ployers and employees that a read
justment is necessary to a whole
some continuity of their united ef-
fort"
A study of the list makes it posi-
bic to group them quite easily under
general heads and may furnish a
kind Of guide toward knowing the
nature Of the troubles faced by the
members of the conference board in
their deliberations, by the national
government in it's daily course, and
by every man and woman in the
| United States.
The rise in the cost of living
speculation, excessive profits and ex-
cessive accumulation of wealth and
may be termed physical causes be-
cause they all grow out Of the use
and misuse of material wealth. The
ideas and emotions released by the
war, the theories imported from Eu-
rope. the jealousy of free speech and
the fear of unemployment are men.
tai conditions which may be and are
every bit as dangerous and as dead.
ly in their effects as physical dis
comforts. The loss Of personal con-
tact between employer and employe
and the conviction that something
has got to be done to make things
more as they should be. for want OF
a better term. may be classed as
spiritual causes Of unrest.
They touch every aspect Of the
workingman's life and through him
they touch the lives of the entire
body polite. Industrial unrest i:
not merely matter of pay increase
Of tax reductions. or of failing
profiteers, desirable as all these
things may be. All successful at.
tempts to combat the seethine
foment in our industrial life mus
! take into consideration the changed
conditions which the war in large
measure brought about, and the new
outlook on a world that must be re.
built on the ruins into better ant
sweeter place for man to live and le
live. The leaven which the Man o.
Galilee recommended two Thousand
years ago. and the employment o.
which He exemplified in the troubled
days Of His own time, must be set a.
work to make of these United
States the ideal nation they should
be.
