J tied "Education?"
A plea that American educa.
tional institutions place greater
stress on "the old fashioned vir.

generally termed "highbrow, "
was made today by John j. Ii
CERT, United States commissioners
of education. in an address be-
fore the National Education AS.
sociation department of superin-
tendence convention.
"If We cannot teach these vir-
tues along with modern thought,
then we had better dismantle our
splendidly equipped institution
and return to the old log school
house," said Doctor Tigert. "In
the words of a famous evange,.
ist, Il would rather have my boy
in heaven learning his A. b. C.'s
than in hell reading Latin and
Greek We had better have cit
izens who have character and lit.
tie education than citizens whose
knowledge is peril to society.

was the discovery that they
should be sterilized. Better to

than a sharp one that is foul.
Germany showed us plainly
the evil of education for culture
and efficiency without proper so.
cial attitude. Germany raised the
efficiency of education TO the
nth power, but this efficiency
was directed INTO spring at the
throat of the world and brought !
on a Pentecost of calamity that
almost destroyed civilization.
