THE PRACTICAL SIDE

He debate to be held by the Industr:.
! Supervisors Club next Monday night at tho "Y''
ought to attract general interest," for the subject will
be one that is-a live question In educational fields
today. Four speakers on either side will d scuss
the question, Resolved that our public schools,
primary and secondary are adequately fitting our
boys and girls for the practical side Of life"
How-the argument will go at the ''Y" of couroc
cannot be stated now, but, whether the public
schools ar6 adequately performing this duty Ut
present. or not there cannot be any dsputins the
faetIt that they are coming more nearly to IT than
they ever have before in the history OF education,
and that the next tea,yeass will sc1 the practical
side Of cehool life developed to a most amazing
extent.
Reading and writing and arithmetic are not
sufficient schooling for the lads and the asstes OF
To-Day, and educators and public alike realize t.
Manual training and domestic science arc but the
opening wedges for program In practical training
that will endeavor TO keep pace vita tho demands
OF the time 1t is not conceivable that boys and
girls should spend years in receiving an education
that will not fit them for the practical side of lItc
Teachers and professors are not only keenly
interested in incorporating practical instruction into
education, but they arc on the sharp look out for
especial talent among the pupils, ant they seek to
direct training along the preferred channels. 1t will
not be far in the future when the child viii emerge
from his public school education with his talents and
his especial gifts absolutely tickcted. He will be
well on the way TO his place in life. There will not
be distressing loss Of time IN finding himsels'--a
miserable period Of trying out one thing after an
other in order to locate that ono thing which he can
do more successfully than all the rest
Supervisors of industry are not clone in their
desire for practical training for children in school,
parents teachers, and all the thinking public desire
It Great things are being accomplished now in this
line, and much greater things will be Cone in The
future.

Americans Revive
Racing in Mexico

New York, Jan. Il. - Several
American race track promoters are
preparing to hold a meeting in
Mexico City under new concessions
granted by President Obregon.
They have built an expensive plant
and are shipping 800 horses from
New Orleans to the scene of action.
More than a dozen years ago Matt
Winn and other western horsemen
attempted to establish racing in the
Mexican capital.
The Mexicans didn't understand
the sport and couldn't afford to lose
bets.
Hence the frost.
