H “ In the American classroom,” says Dr. "JY. S. Learned in his twentieth report to the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, “ gloss it over as one will, the student labors, not to educate himself but to satisfy a master who devises a series of obligations that may range from the impossibly difficult to the ridiculously easy and that may have , little to do with the current mental requirements of .some or all of the class. Yet in every course a new set of these artificial obligations becomes perforce the immediately pressing concern of the student, who receives or is denied credit according to the measure of his success in discharging them.” , , This is the most serious indictment of American education that could be made, because it is a charge that American education doesn’t know where it is going, and that instead of being a system for train ing, intellects it is a penal code for mannikins, who arc turned out as soon as they have been put through the* formally prescribed paces. It makes of Ameri can college professors guards instead of guides. It converts them into policemen instead of mentors. It makes education a system of penal servitude, and if it were the true estimate either Oregon State should begin issuing diplomas at the state peniten tiary and giving baccalaureate sermons and degrees to the prisoners as they complete their time and their tasks and go out, or else the universities should do away with the degrees and diplomas and give merely discharge papers. • Only a few weeks ago Dr. Alexander Meiklejohn of the University of Wisconsin said that’ nobody yet knows what education is. Dr. I^eamed now adds, in other words, that nobody—at least nobody who is directing educational institutions after the established order—knows where it is going, least of all the students themselves. Have a Fair! f if e » In discussing the possibility of an old-fashioned .fair this fall at the Jackson county fairgrounds, in lieu of the regular program, a speaker recalled a gigantic barbecue which had once been staged on a similar occasion by the Medford merchants. The Daily Tidings likes the idea of holding a fair which will bring up memories of days gone by and hopes the Orange and other organizations will boost for this. If in any way The Daily Tidings can assist, the promoters may depend upon us to do everything possible to make it a success. And returning to the first paragraph about the barbecue, it would be wonderful if Medford mer chants could repeat the barbecue of many years ago, and The Tidings feels that Ashland and its mer chants should stage a barbecue or furnish some other entertainment wlucll would help to make the old- fashioned fair more ihteresting. Or |>erhaps Ash land and the Talent Irrigation ditch, which are so closely related, could combine, as they did July 4th, to be hosts at one day’s session of the fair. What do you say, Ashland and Talent Irriga tion District? Losing Dairy Herds The announcement that dairy cows arc being shipi>cd to Los* Angeles is not indicative of growth in the dairy business in this county. Efforts have been made to colonize this section with dairymen, oV at least discussion lias been had along this line. For California cow buyers to conic into this region and purchase dairy cows by the car load, even* though good prices may have been pro cured for them, can only enrich California and reduce the supply for Jackson county creameries. Pros|»erity follows the cow, it is said, and Jack- son County does not want to let t<x> many of its dairy stock be transported into California. It is said that 1,500,(100,000 of coffee and 106,000,- 000 ]Mnmds of tea to wash down American throats in 1927—to say nothing of the other washes that will lx* used.
