By JAMES J. DAVIS, Secretary of Labor.

The national system of education needs reformation.
 It has stood still in it's fundamen- tals while every other art and science has advanced.
 The American youth of today is be- ing turned out of schools not fitted to give his best in the battle that an ever growing complex economic situ- ation demands. He is being bedecked with educational "pretties," a dress uniform that must be cast aside to give place to the dull drab of the working garb and the time he loses in making that change is precious time of strength and enthusiasm, of plastic years that yield too easily many times to the fingers of circum- stance and environment, of ideals that may be shattered by the rude hand of necessity.
 Children should be trained to ap- preciation of the finest things in life but they can never secure those fine things unless they are equipped to ex- pend to best advantage every power nature gave them at birth and Amer ica's educational system today is neg lecting too many of those powers and feeding to excess others.
 We Americans have long been just ly proud of our free public school sys- tenn. For the more easy-going life we lived dozen years ago it did very well. Now, 1t seems to me, our deep est fundamental notions of what system of schooling should be are in need of a complete reshaping. We have been sending our children out into the world to work their way up- ward, but with blunted tools in their hands. Now they need more accurate fitting for the work they are to do, and we must supply it.
 Life's Real Needs.
 Let us look at the matter more in detail. Every year certain propor- ton of our children must begin work and leave school at the end of the grammar grades. They leave these grades with the clements of arithme- tic, geography, history, English and other languages hardly much more Those who are fortunate enough to finish high school have, of course, gone much farther into mathematics and history and the languages and into the past and present activities of the world-what we call cosmogony. But the point I am making is that this system of education strikes me as beginning at the end instead of at the Deglnnlng. All these studies given our children have been useful enough, but except for mathematics and Eng iish study, they all constitute a train ing for the finer things of life rather than for life's first practical needs. Let me hasten to say that 1 am not Tor curtailing in any measure the training of the very humblest of our children for enjoyment of the finest things in life. The point is that this training should come at the proper tune, and that life can mean nothing 70 nm until he has been taught some means of earning his livelihood Our colleges themselves yearly release to tne world great crowds of eager young people highly trained in the appreciation of life's finest things. They know the great deeds and the great works of art of the far past. hey have a deep understanding and enjoy life. and measure the present against the background cf the past. 3ut all this is for enjoyment and un- ierstanding, it Is not a training for

al loveliness about them. At Moose heart the rod is spared. We find it an effective punishment to deprive the misbehaving of the privilege of go- ing swimming, or seeing he baseball and football games, or the movies. For we regularly exhibit motion pie lures in the auditorium, and we are favored with the latest and best.
 Trades Are Taught.
 Where we do go far beyond the public school is in the vocational training that we make compulsory. The utmost skill is applied in fitting each child to the trade for which na- ture and his own tastes have adapted him. The boys learn carpentry, farming, moulding, machine work, metal work, and work in concrete, and the like. The girls are taught housework, stenography, secretarial work, and kindred pursuits. They know dressmaking and domestic science. Whether as wives, as wage earners, or as destined for a career, girls who leave Mooseheart are equipt for mastering life, for understanding life, and enjoying it. So are the boys.
 But the point of this, the everlast- ing point of it, is that while these young people leave Mooseheart to take up life, and while they are train ed to make the most of life and its fine things to the playing of music and painting of pictures where they can, they all leave with some useful trade. Whatever happens to them in after life, they will be found on the rock of self-support and self -preser- vation. Their self-respect is as secure as their livelihood

Milking of Fertilizer at Muscle shoals X woald Re Only One of Many Manu- factures by Henry Ford
 Government too High.

ne,roit Mich, Nov. 24.-Henry Fard and Thomas A. Edison during fbs;r Forthcoming inspection tour ot ths Muscle Shoals, Ala, project, hope tr obta;n data to convince the United rtstSs government that MT Ford's ofrer for the nitrate and water power nz..;<.st is liberal, it was announced at F rord,s office at Dearborn.
 qbe information followed word rom Washington that the govern ,aasf would ask Mir. Ford to make certain notifications in his proposals, believed to involve an increase by the a,,tonobile manufacturer in the amount of money he was willing to allot for completing construction work nn the dams at Muscle Shoals.
 Prove Government too High.
 Mr. Edison will come to Detroit aarlv next week, it was announced, ana soon afterwards he and MT. Ford will go to Alabama for thelr ln- enection. accompanied by several en- rinecrs and other experts on the Fora Motor Company staff.
 The Inspection to be made Will pc nain,ste. it was pointed out. M
 Mr. Ford and Mir. Edison will ex- an1ine the project with view to as- re7.fajnirp how much water power nav ba developed and as to the cost of fhe 1evelopment. Conferences will ba held between them each evening d4arinr the inspection period, 1t was said.
 When the tour had been completed tha data obtained will be whipped in to shape for resentation to Secretary If War Weeks. An effort will be made to prove conclusively that the goyernment's figures are too high, lt was stated.
 Employ Million Men.
 Mr Ford is known to believe that Muscle Shoals may be made to pro- duce one million horsepower and un- der the Ford plan this power could be made to produce steady employment directly and indirectly for one million men. If he obtains the project he expects to convert it into one of the greatest enterprises in the United States within the next six or seven wears. t was said. About that length of time would be required to bring the project to full development, according to information at Mir. Ford's office.
 "Mr. Ford has not made blue prints of the Muscle Shoals plant but he re- alizes the opportunities are almost limitless,p high official of the Ford organization said. "The nitrate plant would be used for the making of fer tiIizcr. This, however, would be only a part of the entire program
