“ 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,-
