lie open TO men ana WoneH III tHe
modern world.
Ny position as president of "cul-
turaP college invites inquiries con-
cerning the value of a general course
of study, and in order that my opinion
might be based on something other
than my own experience and preju-
dices, / have made il practice for
some years past to inquire of the pro-
fessional men and women l meet
whether they pursued a broadly cul-
tural course before proceeding to their
professional training, and IL so
whether they approved the course, and
if not whether they regretted it. The
most remarkable thing about the an
swers is their unanimity.
With very few exceptions those that
have had such course are glad of IL.
and those that have not feel the need
of it and regret that they did not
have il.
The reasons given vary conslderab bly,
but generally speaking they are to the
effect that such preliminary training
often is found in later life to have a
more or less direct bearing on the pro-
fessional work, and, when not, that it
affords an outlet and escape from
merely professional interests to a
larger participation in the other things
of life, such as art, science, literature
or politics, and in particular that it
enables one to look with appreciative
understanding and sympathy on what
is being accomplished in other profess
sions and other spheres of labor.
More evidence of the same kind is
afforded by our professional and voca-
tional schools, which are constantly
requiring more broadly cultural
training of applicants for admission,
and by our business men, who find
that trained intelligence is better asset
for an apprentice than the ability to do
something.
Across the water the same Judgment
obtains, and the machinery is being
created to bring cultural studies with
in the reach of, all and to encourage
all to make use Of it. In France, after
experimenting with the practical
courses of vocational schools for a
period of years, they have again re-
turned to more cultural program
and in England, where the system of
education is in process of revolution
the cry for the cultural studies is loud
and insistent. The gradual change of
attitude Of the -laboring classes in Eng
land is particularly Illuminating in this
respect. Beginning three-quarters of
century ago, with a demand for
technical training which could imme-
diately be exchange fof coin of the
realm. they advanced rapidly to the
point where such meager intellectual
fare was no longer satisfying. Their
representatives informed an investi-
eating committee that ''the Labor
party was seriously concerned with the
fact. that in industrial districts educa-
ton is too much limited to utilitarian
Subjects" ,.t... g..

TIME whole discussion concerning
the relative merits OF practical
4 studies and cultural studies is
well illustrated by the struggle be-
tween teacher and boy over learning
the multiplication table. The boy does
not want to learn il. is determined not
to learn. says it Is no use now and
never will be, and besides, it would
take time-much time-which could
be used to better advantage in learn
ing the equally difficult and far more
practical art of pitching an inshoot.
The teacher points out that knowl-
edge of the multiplication table is the
basis of all succeeding work in arith-
metic-divisions, fractions. decimals,
d.sc ount and all .he rest, not to speak
CT the still higher reaches Of algebra
and calculus. Such names have no
rieaning for the pupil ana convey only
vaguely disturbing mental pictures OF
other future disagreeable tasks TO be
thrust upon him as soon as he has mas
tered this. At best he may be willing to
admit that perhaps it would be good
| thing to know-if he were older he
might say he recognized its possible
cultural value-but what Is that in
comparison with the Immediate advan-
tages of being able to deiiver a good
inshoot?

by the Workers Educational Associa-
ton has been based upon an ideal of
citizenship and not primarily upon
determination to acquire knowledge.
although it was clearly seen that
vague aspirations toward good citizen
ship without the Harvesting of all
available knowledge to it's cause would
be futile After exception has been
made for the body of young men and
women who are determined to acquire
technical education for the laudable
purpose of advancing both their posi-
tion in life and their utility to society,
it is clear that no educational appeal
to working men and women will have
the least effect if it is not directed
toward the purpose of enriching their
life, and through them the life cf the
community.
'It is one of the fundamental prin-
ciples of the Workers Educational AS
sociation that every person not under
the power of some hostile, overma ster-
ing influence Is ready to respond to
an educational appeal. Not indeed
that all are ready or able to become
scholars. but that all are anxious to
look with understanding eyes at the
things that are pure and beautiful"
Nothing could give more comfort to
the advocate of cultural studies than
this succinct statement of the expert
ence of the working classes in Eng
land. Each step led to a larger out
look upon life, and every new outlook
demanded reconstruction of their
educational program-first, technical
training for the purpose of self-im-
provement, then the wish to serve the
community, then the larger idea of
citizenship, and finally desire for all

Teachers With Trust in
Precedent Go Straight Ahead

The teacher of the small boy does
not waste very much time in arguing.
He knows that he has the support OF
centuries of experience and the unani-
nous approval of society. And in ad-
dition to this all sufficient mandate he
has the satisfaction of feeling that the
boy himself, when years have shifted
the relative values of baseball and
arithmetic, will confess his mistake
and recognize that arit hnietic is not
vaguely cultural" but eminently prac-
tical and indeed necessary to any
larger life. SO the argument termi-
mates abruptly and the boy learns
will or not-and if the teacher is wise
he will see that there is time 10 prac-
tice the inshoot as welt.
In other words, and speaking with
out figure of speech, those that clamor
for ''practicaf' studies for our youth
either have narrow views of life or are
insufficiently informed concerning the
important part played by cultural"
studies in laying a solid and broad
foundation for good citizenship and a
well rounded life. For there is no
necessary antagonism between the
"practical' and the cultural" in edu-
cation. Every practical course has
cultural value, and what is regarded
as purely cultural from one standpoint
will appear eminently practical from
another.

be incapacitated by nature from taking
a broader view need not conoern MS

verified. But for the man who is will
ing to go to the trouble of inquirlng of
those that have had personal expert
ence or of observing the trend of .edu-
cational policy in modern democracies
there is abundant evidence that prac-
tical training in the restricted sense
ofthe term fails both to give the salts

TIE MOST WONDERFUL "CRISlS"
IN HISTORY

The United States has had ''panics"
and "crisises" before, but never an
other like the present.
The astonishing fact is that despite
the great unemployment and the dis
tinct business depression due to the
after-effects of the most terrible war
in history there is practically no alb
normal distress in the United States
today In addition to that, statement
of the federal comptroller of the cur
rency says that there is actually more
saving today, despite the bad times, -
than ever before.
This statement of the federal comp
troller covers reports from 600 mutual
savings banks showing gains both in
number of depositors and number of
deposits during the last fiscal year
These banks, most of which are sit
uated in the east, show an increase of
1888 depositors and $3045 in the
size of the average deposit.
The remarkable ability shown by the
working class to weather the present
depression" is directly traceable to
prohibition.-Pen Pensacola Journal.
