PRACTICAL EDUCATION

The childs brain is susceptible OF
The highest development, but it
should be developed along the line
Of its inclinations and for practical
purposes. Ii ever there was time
when sanity in education was
needed, now is that time. Our
schools and colleges are educating
the youth OF this land away from
the natural tendencies and from the
human instincts of well developed
boys and girls.
The education of today seems to
destroy initiative, self-reliance, cour-
age, and desire for self-support.
The educational system of today
has apparently destroyed the desire
on the part of children to be con-
tributing members of society. They
seem to think that the state owes
them something because it gives
them free education. There are
very few boys learning to be master
mechanics. The majority are trying
to hnd an elevator by which they
can ride to the top story of Success.
Success was never reached by an
elevator. The mountain peak of
Success can be reached only by
climbing over the rocks and by en-
during the hardships, dangers, and
difficulties.
