This Is a direct product and fruit of the aristocratic Idea that we got. from KiiKland, and allowed to grow in and Injure our educational field like the tares among the what. "Down through the history of edu cation In New KtiKland from the days of the old preparatory grammar i whooh. kuiiIIh wen invnen anu i . i coaxed toward a few choice callings, and the schools In n large measure filled them for these callings. The system of education encouraged peo ple Willi certain ambitions and gave less help to other). It. helped those who were to get n living by their heads :nd g;ive less encouragement and : vin pal he to those who were to get a living by their hands, and thus educated the people away from many kinds of technical, Industrial and agricultural hilior. "So, therefore, as I have tiled to show In this brief address, we have had In the growth of our educational system these two opposing forceH or Ideas, Inharmonious and conflicting, the Dutch Idea of democracy -over proclaiming Ihe doctrine of the ecjuallty of all In the schools; the English, or aristocratic idea, which regulated the Internal work and kept ev r pointing toward a fashion able and genteel kind of life as the grand prize or goal of an education al career. This aristocratic Idea de spises democracy and continually urges pupils to abandon the common ranks and seek a living In what are termed the higher callings. "Our schools, so far as they have allowed themselves to be Influenced by this Idea, have thrown their In fluence against democracy, against all those common vocations and trades that have always been the pride and the strength of evey na tion, and the support of the common people from whoso ranks have come the men of Inventive genius who have made the laws of nature bend to the service of mnn; who have drawn hidden treasures from the dark caverns of the earth; who have spread tho white sails of commerce on thi' seas; who have amassed the nation's wealth, have fought her battles and won her victories, "Now In a republic where we claim that nil lire equal before the law and entitled to equal benefits from the law, It would be difficult to show Jiy any sound process of reasoning why It Is Just to use the public money to support an atmosphere where we continually produce those who are to become doctors, lawyers, preachers or teachers and show less encourage ment to those who are to become car penter i, Id, ii kMiiitl" . inii'-ons or farmers.

This will be augment ed by $1 for each 1000 names found by the enumerators. It is the bonus which will induce the supervisors to be enthusiastic on the Job and see that everyone is accounted for. In their turn, the enumerators will be paid 3 cents or 5 cents for every name, depending on the density of imputation in the district to which they are assigned. There is big pay for enumerators who are active and industrious and who overlook no one on their beat. This pending census will be con fined practlcaly to population alone. There will be a few special subjects taken up, but these will receive spe cial attention from the departments interested. The supervisor's men will devote themselves only to tabu lating names and personal data re quired by the bureau. It Is the de sire of the census bureau to clean up Ihe work in three weeks. From Sep- itember, when the supervisors are in J harness, until the enumerating be gins next year, the Intervening time we he devoted to laying plans for the enumerators so that when the enumeration stalls, every name-getter will know exactly what to do and will work with system.

Gave Street and Number Address. Grants Pass has earned a new dis tinction, and most strange of all, It is that of having the greatest number of prominent citizens, comparatively, in the United States. Upwards of 15,000 is given by the postal authorities as a conservative estimate of the number of promin- ent citizens in Grants Pass The au- thoritles complain because there are so many. It la explained that every one who considers himself of any prominence expects the post office clerks to know him, and as a result does not take the trouble to have his mail addressed to his street and number or post office box. "Esq." is sufficient for the majority. Because of the fact that a number of new clerks unacquainted with the la.noO esquires are being em ployed, the result is that frequently some citizen Is provoked because he is requested by the carrier or by a stamp on the face of the envelope to have his mail addressed properly. Kverv day now the distributing j clerks are compelled to send dozens !of letters addressed to a like number of prominent citizens to the directory clerk because of the hick of address. A delay In the delivery of the mail j follows. i (NOTE. -The typewriter who copied the above article made a mis take in the name of the town.
