X. j. ine dook uue is universities r jxuivuwu, nuuan
and German. Dr. Flexner. who is a former director of the
General Education board, asserts that f 'the sort of easy rub

have needessly. "cheapened, vulgarized and mechanized them
selves." He cites clog dancing for men and wrestling as
i courses for which credit is given m some Institutions. ,
Particularly sharp is his criticism of correspondence
courses of several of our largest universities which he
describes as "centers of quackery." f These divisions of a
university c home- study and extension, I etc. treat educa
tion as a commodity to be sold is Dr; Flexner"s allegation.
He condemns schools of business and journalum with the
observation that such schools do not train for professions
in the same sense as schools of law and medicine.
There have been of course sharp reactions from the
Flexner report. Those who defend the cafeteria curricula
of modern universities do not
pokes atthem. Others who look at this intrusion of prac
tical instruction into academic fields as a 'lowering of
standards" agree with him. .1 I
The tendency all goes back to our clamor for universal
education both lower and higher at state expense. First it
was observed that educated,
kvmg more easily than ignorant men. That naturally
stirred parents to giving their children an education whether
they had brains or-not. Then with greater prosperity chil
dren weren't needed at home so mucli and they c6uld be
spared for schooling. Later on as more people lived in cities
they sent their children to school longer because they had
nothing else for them to do. But when all these young peo
ple crowded into seconfflry schools it was found that, many
ofthem had no capacity to get learning out of books. .Mathe
matics and literature were beyond them, but they were able
to work with their hands. They were motor-minded, not
thinkers and students. So some "radicals" got the idea of
putting in courses in manual arts to keep these young people
in school. The movement spread, credits were given for
typing the same as chemistry; and our high" schools went
into mass production of graduates. ' j f :

An Early Day
13R0BABLY one of the most
S. brations in the history of Salem was that of I860.' At
that time feelings were at high pitch over the question of
slavery. The Republican party with Abraham Lincoln as
candidate for president, was
opposed to the extension of

considerable measure to the split in the democratic party
between the "Salem clique and Gen. Lane and Delazon

This Fourth of Julv celebration of 180 in Salem was
historic because it was addressed by Edward D. Baker, later
