The peo ple should not be taxed to produce the high class boakkeeper, account ants, engineers, bankers, pharma cists, lawyers, doctors and newspa per men. These professional ele ments would get their equtpment and would live off the earnings of the tollers.

Hoffer has a Dream. the democracy, and an end of appro priating public money for the fur ther advancement of the already fav ored class, the big land holders, the timber land owners or any special class of interests. It stands to reason that educators who have no equip ment for anything but classroom work are not going to favor a reform that requires men to go out and show what they know by actually doing it before critical and inquiring young men and women whose mHids expand with each day's work, Instead of be ing mystified with textbook science that Is not made practical and avail able, but leave the mind confused with rules and glittering; generalities to write still more confused examin ations about.
