Can the Two Factions in Education, the Cultural
and Practical, Be Harmonized?
RICHARD BURTON, University Of Minnesota.

IN SEE three things operating against the welfare OF q rightly con-
ceived organic science of popular education. The three are: the
u feveTed chase of the practical" in education, resulting in no less
than a revolution within the generation between 1885 and the present
time; the abuse of the so-caned democratic ideal; and, as a direct con-
sequence of these two in union, the failure honestly and clearly to see and
say that two distinct types of training, the scholarly and the practical, are
being commonly Jumped together.
It is high time to ask if a college is a machine from which any and
every kind of information should be handed out as you turn the crank,
or has it for its object intellectual attainment and the pursuit of learning
for its own sake2 To make the inquiry is not to say that both aims are
not legitimate, nor is it to forfeit a claim to sound Amercanism. It is
simply to ask that we clarity our muddy thinking, and substitute a clear
perception of what we are about for mush Of vague conceptions.
Logic demands that we acknowledge that hordes of people in a courr

thinks he wants, in pseudo-educaton, we have fallen into the danger of

Here, subly pervading the whole conception of education, is the
asinine assumption-equally egregous in education and in poitics-that
all are equal in brains, if only they are given equal chances. The truth is
that in education, politics, life at large, brains are exceptional. Making

Predicts the Rebuilding of Cities to Meet the
Newer and Speedier Life
WALTER P. c~HRYsLER, AntOmObile Manager.

The city Of tomorrow will be as different as the cars you see on
the street today are different from those Of S5 years ago. Three influences
are at work in America to make our transportation facilities just as diff
ferent.
Those influences include electricity, motor vehicle use, and radio.
The year 1850 will regard 1925 as one marked by a great wave of city re-
building and replanning, and the reconstruction is going to mean heavy
taxation.
The family of tomorrow will live in a small house or apartment, but
that home will be absolutely freproof, scientifically heated, illuminated
by electricity, and thoroughly comfortable.
In the city of tomorrow there will be- no ice man. Refrigeration will
be done in every home by electricity. Every home will be equipped with
radio. Motion pictures win be broadcast, as well as much Of the news
of the day.
Universities will broadcast instruction by radio, churches will broad
cast their messages, and telephoning will be done by wireless. Pictures
sent by electricity will be one of the fine arts. Great cities will be made
up of small towns and business will be dNcentTaized.
Tomorrow streets will be 1870 to $40 feet wide and capable Of ham
ding six to eight lines of traffic. The same will be true Of county and
terminal highways leading into ceners If population, such as our Lin
coin highway, Dixie highway, Sheridan road, and like arteries.
In addition there viii be great, wife arteries Of travel running d.
recly to the ctys center. | believe tha' in most cities rail traffic viii be
underground. There will be no surface or elevated trains. Instead there
will be overhead motorways for all vehacalar traffic. Tomorrow the pc
destrian will reign supreme on the street level and need fear little other
than the dropping of monkey wrenches and ike impedimenta from pass
ing airpaues.

High School Geography Course Is Declared
Vital in Modern Education
DIR. GILBERT GRosvENoR, National

DIX. GILBERT GROSVENOR, National Geographic Society.
The failure to teach geography in high schools is one of the anomalies
of American public school education.
Geography is a basic subject. 1t enters into history, science, itera-
ture, and even the languages. 1t isa cultural subject Of abiding interest
and lifelong intellectual fascination. It il a vocational adjunct to many
kinds of business and the professions.
A knowledge Of geography is essential to understanding the news,
and better teaching Of geography would stimulate intelligent reading of
newspapers.
A direct service to schools the National Geographic society now rem
ders is the issuance of weekly sets Of bulletins to some 10000 school
teachers for use among about 100000 pupils These bulletins, which con-
sttute a gift to American education, supplement geography texts with up
to-date, interesting, informative, illustrated bulletins on geography. They
add to the zest of the study; they enliven it by making contact between
the days news and geographic facts; they take the subject out of the lab
oratory and make it a part of life.
The National Geographic society, with its membership of nearly one
million, has broader facilities for popularlng the use of maps than any
other single agency in the world.
In the last several years the society has distributed a total Of nearly
100000 large maps, printed in six coors, and sent to members along
with their National Geographic Magazine.
Our student roster-that is, our membership-reaches to every COM
munity of the United States of so or more white persons, and to 152 ma
lions, colonies and manufactures; to every country, in fact, which has a
postal system. Some Of our members have to be reached by reindeer seds,
mule-back and camel caravans, in coolies packets and by queer water
craft.
The National Geographic society, MI. Grosvenor said, is a university
of geography in a large sense. 1t is conducting an elective course-a
great class in geography. Its course is patronized by millions of
pupils Of all ages.

Good Plan for Heading
Back Young Apple Tree

Young apple trees should be headed
back to about 20 to 80 inches from the
ground. If it is 6 ~one-year-old tres
Their all that is necessary is to cut of
the top the desired height. IL 1t Is a
two-year-old tree then the central lead
er should be removed and from three
to FIVE lateral branches retained, these
being cut back to about 8 to 10 inches.
In each ease the lateral branches
should be cut to an outside bud, In
order to cause the tree to spread prop
erly. After the tree has passed Its
third year about all that is necessary
is to take out interfering branches and
keep the tree from becoming too dense.
If the tendency is for the tree to pro
duce long slender branches, then these
should be shortened in the same way
that peach limbs are shortened In, I'M
til the tree begins to fruit, after which
time little pruning will be necessary
with the exception of thinning put the
interfering branches.

Building Stave Silo

The main feature In building a silo
is to keep the silage as slightly cx-
posed to outside air as possible. For
that reason a place that he's a tight
bottom and sides is regarded as neces-
sary. In recent years, silos made of
slaves, held together by iron hoops,
have been popular. These stave silos
are manufactured and sold by men
in different parts of the country, who
make a speciality OF manufacturing
them. The farmer need have no diff
hculty in setting them up.

THE FANS WANT TO KNOW

Less than four months ago George Kelly was fatty i'm
plicated in an attempted bribery by the confession Of
Jimmy 0Oonne who declared in direct testimony that Kelly
was involved.
Kelly maintained his innocence and upheld By Judge
Lands in the final hearing
Ordinarily you would expect man 20 accused g harDor
slight grudge against the accser. But not Kelly In
stead he accepts an offer 70 play basketball IA the same organ
ization with the who short time ago accused him
point blank Of being implicated in bribery plot.
That's bit strange.
Keys with the Giants provides that he shall not
engage basketball other sports during the off season with
out the consent Of the club.
And John MOcraw has bean stckler for discipline
Yes by his statement he has intention Of asking Kelly
TO refrain from play. That's stranger still.
Truly the ways Of baseball and baseba man are odd and
unfathomable.
Why did Kelly consent to play on team with oConne7
What sort Of forgvng nature must he have that he can
overlook those charges Of the banihed Oueder 50 quickly
and forget his hurt 30 hmriedly7
And why should the Giant management knowing the COM
ent that such action Is sure to arouse permit him to 60
ahead with the announced arrangement
Is that the Giant management feels utterly confident
Of It's position with the general public?
Or Is it that the Giant management doesn't for public
opinion?
Perhaps investigation might do much to clear away the
clouds.
