the Carranza government through al

Spsncer's Education"
What Is Worth Whlle7
ignorance Of Parents.
Wanted: Simpler knowledg'
By ARTHUR Blf.sBANE.
Copyright. tJsof


Herbert Spencer, English phi
losopher and teacher, was born
April "a, 100 years ago. Read
some paragraphs on his book
Education"
Spencer was self-taught, that
made him think about education.
He was a railway engineer at
seventeen. After thirty he began
writing seriously, and spent his
life THINKING seriously.
When he was forty he an
nounced the outline of "The Syn
, thetic Philosophy" in ten vol
! umes. He was not a careless
worker. He finished the book
thirty-six years later, and seven
years after that he died.
To say, think your way through
ALL of Spencer" would be like
saying, "0blige me by drinking up
Lake Michigan" Everybody will
accept little of Spencer from his
book on education.
Two books on education every
father and mother should read,
Spencer's, and Rousseau's Emile"
Froebel, the German, and Pesta-
lozzi, the Swiss, may also be read,
Spencer and Rousseau you must
read.
Spencer divides lis book into
four chapters:
what knowledge Is of Most
Worth"
"Intellectual Education"
moral Education"
physical Education"
