T 7 AVE the public schools of this country
- become mere educational factories to
turn out students with single-track
- machine made minds?
Several college presidents maintain that
this is the case. President Farrand of Cornell
believes that the colleges are responsible for
the wave of narrow minded, prejudiced think
ing which is sweeping the country President
Hopkins of Dartmouth says that our schools
and colleges have a tendency to initiate
factories that our students turned out
on the machine system and all attain a dead
level" President Wilbur of Stanford says
that the college graduate measures success
by the size of his income tax.
I had fresh from the conversation
with these leaders of the educational world
10 John J. Tigert United States commissioner
of education, and laid before him summary
of the criticisms which these college presi-
dents had given me. DR.. Tigert probably
knows more about the grammar and high
schools of the Nation than any one man. and
l was confident that his replies would be well
grounded personal experience.
IT'S not fair to put all the blame the
public schools drawled DR.. Tigert, who is
from Kentucky. The fact is that both the
schools and colleges to blame in many
ways, but of the two institutions the colleges
much more responsible for this machine
made education.
Fed Canned" Lectures.
This is especially true in the big univer-
stiles, which are overcrowded and which herd
large punches of men into one class, where
they are fed canned lectures and quizzes,
which only partially digested in advance
by graduate students who making enough
money by teaching to get degrees.
Personally believe that the public schools
are getting further and further away from
this machine system. The greatest develop
ment In public school work in the last two
decades, to my mind, has been in the progress
of individual instruction.
"My lob carries me all over the country
and know the condition of the different dis
tricts fairly we'll. New England has probably
made more progress in individual instruction
than any other part of the United States.
Children up there given problems which
actually make them think. The innovations
of New England have been taken up and
widely initiated in the British schools.
California also has up and coming
public school system and the Berkeley Junior
High School is doing great piece of work. 1t
maintains four or five different high schools,
where a student try himself out at bust
ness or art science, and find out just
exactly what he is best fitted for.
What do you consider the worst fault of
our educational SYSTEM" L asked the COM
missioner.
Speaking very broadly of the whole field
of education DR.. Tigert replied, "one OF the
worst faults is the failure of the colleges and
the high schools to pull together. They do
not correlate their work. There is a tre-
mendous step between the two institutions,
and the mortality of men who funk out in
the first years of college because of this diff
fcult step is appalling.

Monorail System
Finally in Discard

Consolidation of all the numerous
railways in the south of Ireland into
one company has led to the discon-
tinuance of the Lartigue line in
County Kerry. This little 10-mi1e
monorail system was a picturesque
survival of an idea that once was well
coined as likely. to revolutionize rail-
way travel The line ran on a single
rail- the. carriages being on each side
of it, like the creels on a donkeys
back. Passengers had so TO dispose
themselves in the train that there
was an equal weight on each side.
The same necessity for preserving an.
equilibrium affected the transit of
cattle, and il was said that when ar
man wanted to send a cow from
Ballybunion he had to wait till
neighbor had another COW to balance
it's weight. The system was invented
by a Frenchman. AS it required less
ground for its right of way it was
expected to make railway construc-
ton cheaper. Ballybunion, however.
was almost the only part of Europe
that took 1t up. The new amalga-
mated Southern Railways Co. thought

been settlements. in part or In whole of war
loans to the larger European governments. 1t
is the knowledge that these transactions have
been completed that fired the Coolidge admin
istraton with the determination not to let
Uncle Sam hold the bag indefinitely. While
these relief credits" payments, running into
millions of gold. have been in progress, pay
ments Of no kind Except the $50 900 Of in
terest which France is paying US on surplus
war stocks purchased) have come our way. What
have now done. in effect, is to point out
courteously but firmly that the stream of gold,
however small, must be diverted in our dlrec-
ton.
The Washington administration anticipates
no difficulty with Great Britain If we eventu-
ally decide to grant France, Italy, Belgium or
others easier terms than gave the British
in 1923. The London government has itself
not adhered to any fixed scheme of settlement
with Great Britain's war creditors, and Is not
expected to assert the right to say that Amer
lea shall not do exactly she pleases in set
tling with our war creditors. If the British
government insists that France shall pay Brit

French governments to thresh out America

ject, as 1T does not concern US.

Congress is bound to take vigorous hand
in any final discussion of the debt business. If
we give France anybody else preferential

Britain received-opposition is certain on Capt.

be that the far country implies a new

that the Master declared that the
supreme requisite of a normal faith
was to be found in the simplicity and
trustfulness of little child. The far
country of unbridled and unrestrained
passions presents another aspect OF
abnormal living. Here the waste Of
substance and of self-respect is
marked and the end inevitable.
This kind of far country living is
probably the commonest of all. A
notable example of 1t came under our
observation in the case of a man who
had graduated with honors from OK
ford University. His early life was
characterized by great expectations
and gave promise of being brilliant
and eminently successful. Suddenly
the great transition came. and with

of his disappointment and failure.

perfect. but the bringing in of better
hope did"
Laws and systems of ethics have
their place in the scheme of life, but
they prove of little value where the
moral character is uninf1uenced by a
deep and unfailing religious convic-

who said, There is a manifest God in
the world for those who seek Him"
More and more we are realizing today
the need of recovery from far country
living. More and more we are coming
to discover that a reasonable concep-
ton of Gods relation to our life and
obedience to His laws constitute the
basis Of our security as well as of our
happiness. That man shall not live
by bread alone" is conspicuously true.

MERICAS policy for funding the Eu-
n ropean war debts is now fixed in a
~ number of essential respects. 1t is
n possible for this writer to clarity the
situation, from the Coolidge Administrations
standpoint, and to remove misapprehenslons
that have grown up, both in the United States
and Europe, result of the conflctins re
ports recently in circulation.
Perhaps the outstanding decision to which
the American Government has committed 1t
self is the determination that our principal
debtors must conclude funding agreements
before next December. The administration is
anxious to present the Sixty ninth Congress
with tangible results in that direction
Congress Must Ratify.
President Coolidge hopes to make such re-
suits the outstanding feature of his first mes
sage to the incoming Congress. 1t is in the
hands of the Senate and House that the mat
ter of the $4,000, 900 of war debts rests
The World War Foreign Debt Commission is
empowered to negotiate funding settlements
but they are not valid until Congress ratifies
them The temper of Congress about the
debts is we'll known. 1t 1ared up in the clos
ing days of the last session.
President Coolidge is aware that If he is
compelled to tell the next Congress that the
European debt business is merely drifting
from bad to worse, explosions on Capitol Hill
are inevitable. The mere suggestion of M.
