rying on today drop out, to that extent
will the country keep step with its
possibilities.
There are more than 100000 boys
and girls in this country between the
ages of 5 and 10 not in school, not
withstanding the compulsory education
laws of the various States. Most of
these boys and girls are at work. Ex-
perience convinceS us that many Of
that 100000 could be brought back
to school on part-time program,
where they divide their time between
work and school.
Friend of Education.
The object of education is to prepare
boys and girls and men and women to
better carry on in their various pro-
LESSONS, vocations and callings. OF
the 100000 or more pupils enrolled
in the schools of the country in 1880
only 1,066,000 were enrolled in voca-
tional classes, including adults, or about
school age and per cent Of the num-
Der, enrolled in schools.
do not want any one to get the
idea that am knocking higher edu-
cation. I am true friend of higher
education, but the question that want
to raise in all seriousness is: Are
those who are responsible for educating
the people of the country giving the
boys and girls a balanced education?
Are they educating the boys and girls
to successfully do the things they must
do in order to carry on the Nations
business?
am not saying that any part of the
number now enrolled in academic
classes should be withdrawn from those
classes and enrolled in vocational

engaged in gainful occupations are to
keep UP with changing conditions. 1t is
important to better train those fortu-
nate enough to still hold their jobs, and
very necessary to those who seek en-
ployment in other fields on account OF
having lost their jobs If they are to
continue to carry on. Without such
assistance many of them would be
forced to join the already crowded
ranks of the unemployed.
If a school in reach OF the unframed
adult worker was available, those work.
ers - not only that class forced to
change vocations on account Of labor
saving devices, but the unframed in
other lines as well-would be given an
opportunity to prepare themselves for
their new fields of endeavor.
For 140 years the people waited,
without any material results, for an
educational service that would better
train the So per cent who work with
their hands.
"Unaeveloped Resources"
The Congress, seeing that the case
was hopeless under the then existing
conditions, passed legislation in 1917
encouraging vocational education for
working people. AS a result, all of the
States and the Islands of Hawaii and
Porto Rico are cooperating in this
work, and in 1880 more than a million
people took advantage Of 1t.
The growing demand to enlarge the
work so as to include the adult worker
who never had an opportunity to take
advantage of this training makes this
kind of education necessary in order to
help the displaced worker find employ
ment in new fields to relieve the unem-
ployment situation.
Up to this time I have been speaking
Of the adult worker. I am now coming
to Americas greatest asset-itS boys
and girls: "a challenge to America S
undeveloped resources"
This is the richest and most power
full nation in the world. Our estimated
wealth is more than $3.50, 000, 900, 900.
1 am not saying this in a boastful
spirit, as our wealth some day may be
milestone to drag US down If we do
not use it intelligently. A hog will eat
the acorns from under the oak, but
never look up to see whence the
acorns come. But with all Of our
wealth of whatever nature, it is not
equal to the value Of our boys and girls.
In proportion as we use our wealth
to develop the boys and girls of this
generation to take on the burdens they
must assume when those who are car

classes, but I do say that many Of them
would take vocational education II vo-
cational schools were convenient.
But, when you bring it down to its
final analysis, we have 100000 per-
sons working with their hands, and only
few hundred thousand in training. to
fill those jobs when those now carrying
on must quit on account Of old age,
d-ath, or for other reasons.
What are we going to do about It?
Some of those who are opposed to vo-
cational education would say, let them
learn by the pickup system, or the rule
of cut and try.
How are we to reconcile the fact that
we have some 25,000,000 enrolled in
school learning thtngE necessary to
know in order to fill the 8 per cent
jobs, and only 1,066, 900 in school learn
ing the things necessary for the 90 per
cent to know in order to fill the Jobs
in that field? do not think the schools
OF the country are supplying balanced
program.
If America is to keep pace with
twentieth century progress, it must
provide in reach Of every boy and girl
school where they can learn better
how to do the things they are doing, or
have selected to do as their LIES work.
To fail to do that will close the door Of
hope to that large and necessary group
OF men and women which society and
the business world--with all its diver
sified interests-1iuSt look to If we are
to make use Of our undeveloped re-
rceS.
No country has either legal or moral
right to provide opportunities for one
class and refuse equal opportunities to
another class of equal Importance. That
is not democratic form of education.
do not believe that the founders of
the Government, the taxing districts, So
ciety or any other stable group ever
intended that such inequality of oppor-
tunity should exist.
The teacher, the doctor, the lawyer,

would 20 far toward relieving the nm
employment situation and would mate
rally aid in carrying on the country's
| business.
The time will come when every boy
and girl in the land will be required
as part Of their education to take q
course in vocational guidance to find
out what profession, vocation or call
ing they should select as their nfe's
work and then Mt themselves for that
particular thing to avoid so many mis-
fits in human energy, so much lost mo-
ton in the human race, so many fall
ures scattered along the pathway OF
life, fewer men and women trying to do
things that God Almighty never in
tended they should do.
Suppose that even so per cent of the
men and women of the country were
doing the thing that they are best fitted
to do, the country would have so many
more prominent, outstanding men and
women, more great preachers, lawyers,
doctors, teachers, mechanics, farmers,
home builders and last, but not by any
means least, great statesmen and cap
tains of industry.
Real vocational guidance will some
time point the way of the boy and girl
to happy solution of their possible
ties, tell them which route to follow
in the race OF life, what profession, vo-
cation or calling they should select as
their life's work.
Never Had q Chance.
Past experience teaches us that %
out Of every 100 will select one route,
and out Of every 100 will select the
other route. The per cent will go
through the stages in higher learning, if
possible, and in the end may become
a Frances Willard, Marshall, a Web
ster, Beecher, a Walter Reed or a
Pasteur.
The 90 per cent viii take enough

quirements and, If possible, q thorough

tomorrow viii depend upon the care and
attention given the youth OF today.

''for Of such is the Kingdom Of Heaven"
Americas undeveloped resources are
its boys and girls. To develop those re-
sources, first find out what they should
do and then educate them for that par
ticular job, in whatever profession, vo-
cation or calling that may be.
1t will result in many more happy
homes, more progress, more respect for
law and order, fewer reds and red SYM
pathizers. More people will attend
church, for we shall have greater
preachers; more people win respect the
law, because we shall have greater and
better lawyers and better courts and
better citizens; boys and girls win re-
main in school longer, for we shall
have greater teachers: the span Of life
will be heightened, because we shall
have greater and better physicians and
fewer quacks: better laws will be en-
acted, because We shall have greater
statesmen: the Nations work will be
better done, because we shall have bet
ter mechanics, better workers Of all
kinds.
The worker viii be happier In his
work. He viii be doing the thing that
it was intended he should do, and, as
a result, we shall have less need for
bankruptcy courts, because there will
be fewer failures, fewer divorce courts
and fewer broken-up homes, because
we shall have more happy homes.
To bring these results quicker and
better would require q course in voca-
tional guidance, followed by q thorough
training in vocational education.
Many young people think the golden
opportunity has passed, but there never
was a time when there was q greater
opportunity for the individual who has
equipped himself for some kind OF work
that the world wants done.

come in different things at different

potato digging, or corn husking, but
these men can not change over night
from one job to another without some
kind Of training.
Neither can employees change from
one factory to another over night with
out some kind of training. If vocational
schools were convenient to the workers
many of them could be trained in
short time to change from one factory
to another at peak season and be dove
tailed In to help carry the peak load at
