EDUCATING FOR TOMORROW
Greatest Need, But Often Neglect
ed-Consult Officials

The opening of the school year
will bring relief to some of the
young people who find prolonged
leisure burdensome and tedious. To
others it will mean the added joy
of the school atmosphere and en-
vironment. To some parents it
will bring relief from the distrac-
tion of keeping the children occu-
pied and entertained. To others it
will mean heavy hearts when they
see for the first time the school
sharing with the home in the
training of the child. To some
young people it will mean a strug-
gle to give up a remunerative po-
sition for what may seem to them
less profitable work. Others will
have consciousness that no mat
ter how lucrative the position, it
will be more profitable to resume
schooling. These view education
in terms of future returns. Finan-
cial needs may dictate that others
resumption of the schooling later
on. This training will be profit
able, as year of any work should
produce, in addition to the diScip-
linarian value, more wholesome
regard for the advantages of edu-
cation. The danger to this group
is the cooling process that takes
place during such intervals, with
a resultant diminishing interest.
As rule, parents are more con-
cerned about adequate schooling
than the child-this because of the
fact that if they have been edi' at
ed they appreciate its value, and if
they have not, they are conscious
of their loss. Young people m.iy
argue that they have sufficient
training to meet future require
ments. 1t is difficult to foresee
what these requirements may be.
Because of rapidly changing stand
ards, people are ever confronted
with situations they could not
have foreseen a decade ago. In
farming, in industry and in busi-
ness, as well as the professions, we
find more exacting demands. 1t is
reasonable to predict that require
ments in all such lines will con-
tinue to DE raised. A lige situa-
tion exists in adult life in that
there are many who ten years ago
decided they had sufficient train
ing to meet future requirements.
In later years they found it neces-
sary to raise the standards to meet
opportunities. It has
meant the passing of these oppor-
tunities or the resumption of edu-
cational pursuits. Our colleges,
CORES spond
schools, part time schools and
night schools bear testimony to
this situation. In them we find
many adults who have returned to
build up the foundation neglected
in youth. It is hard to say when

Such training usually in

amount of educational training re-
4uired rather than be forced to ac-

ess susceptible to it. The fact that
young people in increasing num-
oers are today taking this precau-
