Time for "Prep" Teacher
To Talk Out in Meeting

Already it will be seen that I can
not discuss this question without TALK
ing right out in meeting, saying
things which, true as they are. could
not be sufficiently yelled by diplomatic
language without giving good many
fathers offense, as if 1 were delib-
erately insulting them.
1 know that smart" readers who
always detect an ulterior motive will
say that it would not be good busi-
ness for head master to offend his
patrons by language plain enough to
hurt. Readers OF this smartness do
not realize that long waiting lists
frame an answer to them and render
any head master of well known school
practically independent. But in an
other and higher sense 1t is not good
business" to hurt our patrons feelings.
We are always trying to get them to
help us with the boys. We need their
help and we get it by molasses and not
by vinegar.
That is why do not sign my name
to this article. But 1 affirm that face
to face with any father L have ever
met ] would say to him all that
shall write here.
Subtly intertwined with this fire.
quent criticism is the remark often
made in a belittling sense:
"Oh, that prep school caters only
TO the sons OF rich men,"
To this 1 reply: IF we do educate
and train rich mems sons to be honor
able members OF society. cultivating
in them simple tastes and a standard
by which they can correctly Judge life
and their fellows. then we perform q
great and even n wonderful task.
know of no set of boys who need these
things so badly as the rich mems sons.
The poor little rich boy Often by
force of conditions neither his father
nor his mother can take his training

Refutes Charge That prep
Schools Are Aristocratic

Before leaving this phase of the
subject 1 must say few words more
about the charge of aristocracy' in
our preparatory schools. That they
are private institutions OF consider
able exclusiveness is true, but this
should not affix a stain upon them.
The exclusiveness is due TO the de-
sire-a worthy one surely-to provide
a fitting environment for a growing
boy. 1t means to exclude from this
environment boys whose moral nature
has been warped, perhaps irretriev-
ably. 1t means to exclude bad COM
panionship, evil association, vile ex-
ample. In a larger sense and with
more hope of success our private
schools seek to do what wise parents
do for their home boys, that is, keep
them off the streets, choose playmates
for them-or try to-look over the
books they read and take every
means known TO a thoughtful mind
to bring them up right The prep
school is founded on these ideals
which should be the parents ideals.
Believing, as l do, that this high
purpose is understood by our people
also believe that every American
father would send his boy to private
school if he could afford the expense
of It, Seldom, in fact. is the decision
Of fathers in favor OF a prep school,
based on snobbery. That may have
made the fortune and reputation OF
schools in other lands; it has no
weight in our America.
The opportunity of a boy TO make
acquaintances of a higher social rank
than his own, even if il is taken by
some foolish parents as a reason for
choosing n certain school in prefer
ence to rival schools, is rarely en-
braced by a boy in that school. I'm
less he has been infected by the folly
OF his parents to a deeper degree than
Is often possible he chooses his init
mates from other motives. Ask a
teacher in any kind OF school in
America and he will tell you this is So
An equally frequent criticism OF the
private school is that its boys are not
taught TO encourage individual think
ing or too much individuality of any
kind, but are urged to adopt conserva-
tive views of everything. Also that
there is a lack of flexibility in the
private schools method OF teaching
In the main. however. criticism, when
it endeavors TO be honest, finds fault
with the environment OF our boys.
What these critics fail to perceive
is the great fact that education is en-
vironment. II n private school took
advantage of its isolation and taught

Hoover. Secretary Of Com
- merce, and with the coopera-
ton Of eminent electrical engineers
and the Governors of northeastern
States the superpower survey plans
proceed toward their detectives:
The utilization OF natural water
power sites in one coordinated electric
energy transmission project in the
States from Canada TO Virginia and
from the Atlantic coast inland to the
Pennsylvania and West Virginian
areas.
The turning Of coal at the mouth
Of the mine into electric energy and
the Transmission of that energy by
cable TO consuming points
The combining Of the whole into one
vast enterprise TO save the costs and
losses now involved in transporting
coal and to utilize large potential water
horse powers now going to waste.

survey" Mr.. Hoover says. "ls 10 elm
mate wastes now incidental to the OBJ
tanning of energy for lighting, heating
and power, with other social values to
be derived therefrom."
Charles p. Steinmetz, chief consult
ing engineer. General Electric Com
pany, Schenectady. n. Y, takes New
York State as an example in respect
of these plans.
This State" Dr. Steinmetz said on
Monday OF last week, has 5.S33,0O0

only 1.3330oO has been developed. II

Fathers Should Be Grounded on
Levels of Intelligence in Order to
Give Them an Idea of the Problem
of the Preparatory School,

in hand. The teacher can and does
l could point to many instances where
good and worthy men have been made
out OF boys who in the hands OF
servants would have had no earthly
chance.
My plea, therefore, must be made
to rich men whose affairs are so en-
crossing that they can give no ade-
quate time to the first years of their
sons lives. Afterward, when the
boys have left preparatory school far
behind them, when they are far along
in the college course or have grad
uated from it, the fathers take up their
belated task Well for both fathers
and sons If the head master and his
assistants have done their duty by the
youngsters, guided them to the deep
truths of life, led them to the shrines
of literature and told them why they
should worship there, prepared the
boys, in word, to educate themselves.
For that is all prep" school and COL
lege can do. But it's great deal.

for they don't, but there are plenty OF
people. as every head master of a

problems. not all of which he solves
wisely. But the outstanding obstacle
TO a complete success of a 'school-pri-

not the curriculum, not the system;

it is the attitude of parents. Without
intending to obstruct method of ed
ucation, indeed. they would indig-
nantly deny that they had ever done
so, nevertheless many Of them do SO
by example and precept. No school Of
my kind gets boy until he is at
least IL years old, and then it does not
have him the year round: in vacation
time he falls once more entirely under
the influences which have made him.

Developed, tnese water powers

age of clean, sanitary and smokeless

In recent discussions OF the power
situation Gov. Miller has indicated the
efforts to perfect the utilization OF
these additional potential power sites.
THE foundation has been laid" Gov.
Miller said at Lookport, y. Y, for
the development OF the vast water

coal annually in New York state.
"It means light, heat and power for

village dweller and the farm dweller.
Il means cheaper heat, light and
power. II means all OF the great mod
ern conveniences. II means the elimi-
nation of drudgery for the housewife
and better methods OF living for all
classes wherever they reside"

the scope of the superpower survey
plans are included. the whole aggre-
gates from ten TO fifteen millions Of

freight move. Of which more than 81
