Virgil K. Dixon, houd of tho resoarcli do partinunt of tho Oakland public achoolH, in un addrnHs recently uphold modern school methods, lie said: While the modern school methods aim at a broader education than did the school training of earlh-r days, still little or no cfrieiency has been sacrificed In g-lvinfr the school boy. and ffirls of today proper training in thu fundamental subjects." Tho educator said the uvcrae Oak land high school hoy or girl can pro duce better handwriting, can quickly and accurately add a column of fig ures and spell iis well or better than the average business man. Music and art subjects are pecesaairy for u child to gel thu best out of life, he said. Mr. Dixon said It Is nlleged that ouhllc education Is carried on to an extravagant degree and that tho peo ple cannot at lord to keep pace, llo quoted the following statistics lo show the fallacy of this opinion. "More than a billion dollars were spent for tobacco In America in iDliu. If every man would reduce his tobac co budget one-tenth and contribute the money to public schools, the schools would have so much money that they would not know how to spend It. It cost $ 7 ti 2, 0t 0,000 to run the elementary schools of the United States in 1920, while more than a bil lion dollars was spent for tobacco; JSliti.ooe.uoO for Ice criiam nnd can dy, 'and an amount for moving pic tures and automobiles so largo that It would be nurd' to beliove It if I wero to quote tho figures.' Life is just this much of a riddle eventually we all have to pjivo it up.
