HERRIN WAS DIFFERENT

The labor battle at Herrin. ILL.,. is
unique. For the first time in Ameri-
can history, the, strikers did the killing,
the scabs and mine guards stood at
the receiving end. Heretofore il has
been the other way strikers and sym
pathizers have at times made clumsy
efforts at reprisal, but the slaughter.

ably been administered by the hirelings

it is different. The Associated Press

cational institutions of all kinds grew
gradually as did all other outcorings
lof the Renaissance period. N America
Harvard University was established IN
1886, Yale in 1901. Princeton III z.
40, University Of Pennsylvania IN 1855,
Peabody in 1860 and several other well
known universities for boys sprang up.
In 1921 Emma WiIlard's School for
girls was established which then made
Iis possible for women to attend school
and have about the same privileges as
Men. Until then man was supposed to
be the only educated being. The new
learning Of the world was fol him alone
and he must be of weII-to-do class,
else he could not afford an education.
Books. papers and literature con
tanning the news Of the world have
been kept from most working people
in every nation because they were un-
able to pay the price. IN fact it IS even
.yet a rare thing 70 find a good maya
zine and small collection Of classical
books in the average laboring mans
home. In the past century few were
they who could read and write inteIIi-
gently and fewer still were those who
were college graduates. No wonder
the working class is ignorant. No won

men are SO poor they can not afford So
much as monthly paper and have not
even the education to read ii if they
had it. No wonder we have larceny
and burglary. crimes and divorces. The
ignorant mind dwells on idle thots and
idle thoughts are rowing and often lead
10 treacherous waters. Let is show the
righteousness by giving them the pro-

century when the nations Of the world

schools were started for the purpose Of
teaching to the rising generations the
works OF previous great men and who
wese the men to finance these institu-
tons? John Harvard. Geo. Peabody,
Vim. H. Vanderbilt and other million
aires of the past centuries. If you will
look up the history Of nearly any Of
the large colleges and universities Of
not only America but every other coun-

EDUCATION

Education Since the Renaissance.
From early history we learn that col
leges and universities were results Of the
Renaissance Of the fifteenth and SIX
teenth centuries and that most Of the
great men discerned in the world
such essential laws as the law Of gravii-
tatlon, laws Of the pendulum. laws Of
falling bodies, laws Of light, heat, mo-
ton, fluids, solids, gases. magnets, and
many other things that control the
earth and the universe, were taught
and utilized to do great work III and
Immediately following this age Of learn
ing.
AS we follow history On we find that
the next two hundred years we're taken
Iup in forming nations and govern
ments. All the nations Of Europe we're
organized under new governments. Eng
land adopted her Magma Carta, 1915.
Petition Of Rights 1923. and the Bill Of
Rights 1859. Peter the Great Of Rus

country. Bismarck. or the Iron Chan
cellor, Of Prussia united Prussia and
Germany. Cavour Of Sardinia con
quered most Of Italy and laid the
foundation for a limited monarchy.
France. under the great Napoleon
Bonaparte, overthrow the monarchy
and set up a republic and even Ameri-
ca an July 4, l776 signed the Declare
ton Of independence declaring herself
free and independent.
Thus we see that the great men dur
ing the two centuries following the Re
nissance were kept busy with national
affairs and that education was some
what neglected as we find very little
about educational institutions during
this period. Hence the school system
OF today is not more than four hundred
years old at the most and two Of those
hundred years were broken into by pol
itlcal and religious wars, so our educa-
tional system is not more than two cen
turies old. We could not expect in SC
short time-to develop system of ed.
lucation which could be classed as per.

vast improvement, and especially

proximately 80 per cent greater than
in 1914, and approximately 20 per
cent greater than IN any year since
