Twenty-six years ago, in 1895 to
be exact, the "horseless carriage"
was exhibited as a curiosity in
Barnum & Bailey's circus. It cost
10 cents for admission to see 1t
perform on a little circular track.
In 1895, a race started in Chicago
was followed by reporters in horse
drawn vehicles which had to stop
/ at times to allow the tracing cars"
to remain in the lead. In 1899,
venturesome driver was arrested
for driving in Central Park, New
York city.
In March, 1903, the Oldsmobile
Pirate, famous racing car of those
days, established the worlds straight
away record by making five miles in
six and half minutes. That same
year saw the first motor car travel
straight mile on Ormond Beach in
less than a minute.
Within twenty years from that
time, there has grown an industry
which produced a total of approx
mately 1900, 900 cars in the year just
ended. Registration figures for 1922
show a total of 100000 motor
vehicles, in round numbers, now in
use, from which the revenue in
license fees and taxes alone exceeds
$125 900 100000. The widest flight of
imagination scarcely could encompass
such a tremendous development, yet
1t all has happened within the
memory of a single generation.

DR.. Ballou further states:
g Seldom does one realize that
children do not leave school for eco
nomic purposes, but because they are
unable to get their teaching and in
struction toward which they lean.
To prevent this we should group the
children in various classes, such as
those who wish to go through the col
leges and universities and those who
will go to work after finishing either
the graded or high schools"
Constructive and alert school au-
thorities in many places have seen
this long ago; diversified work,
manual training schools, wide choice
of courses, special classes, a more
elastic graduation requirement, and
the establishment of junior high
schools are all answers to the same
problem.
But there are many localities in
the county where the old idea still
holds sway, where children are fitted
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1923-04-12

would be sensible to try to educate
all men to be doctors or bricklayers
or storekeepers.
The old idea of education was
"time enough to begin to specialize
when primary school, higher grades,
high school, and college had done
their best" Today it is being more
and more recognized that there is too
much waste of time in an educational
system which insists upon all pupils
who go through the high schools hav-
ing a choice of but a few different
courses. One of the appalling results
of such a program, originally con-
ceived with the idea of saving money
and producing a standardardized
course" is found in the fact that too
many boys and girls leave high
school without graduating simply be-
cause they are not interested, and
find themselves unable to waste time
following courses which they feel are
benfit to them.

MAKE THE SCHOOL FIT THE
STUDENT

"The school should be made to fit
the student, not the student the
school," says Superintendent of
Schools Frank Ballou, of Washing
ton.
Would there were more educators
who made this slogan, and less who
were so concerned with administra-
tive duties and good system"
For one of the crying needs of our
educational system is that it be pulled
away from too thorough a standard
ization.
Certain things are fundamental in
any education; reading, writing,
mathematics, history, geography;
these are among the essentials. But
when school children have been
grounded in the fundamentals of an
education, it is no more sensible to
direct all Of them in the same way,
and to take the same course, than it
