THE MOTIVE OF PUBLIC EDUCATION
T'.ie broadest kind of education tho kind that will fit
a man for all the eventualities of life and allow him to
change successfully from one vocation to another if ne
cessary, is the education that should be provided in the
public schools, according to Prof. E. P. Cubberley of Le
land Stanford University, who is tho assembly speaker
at the University of Oregon Summer school this week.
Dr. Cubberley believes that this versatility is one of
the elements of strength of the American people. The
courses of study, he believes, should be so arranged as to
cut down the present tendency for boys to drop out of
school before they have reached the age of 1G years. One
means, already being used to some extent, to prevent this
dropping-out, is through the manual training and semi
vocational courses that are being offered. School olllcers
are coming to understand that those boys who cannot learn
from books can be taught through the hand and body.
"When the schools turn out a man who can earn only
Jlo a week they have failed: when they graduate a man
who can earn $35 a weed they have in a sense succeeded,"
says Dr. Cubberley. "The $15 man has the same longings
and aspirations as the $35 man, but he has not the same
chances of becoming a good citizen. Each will marry his
girl and start to raise a family, but only one is really
Ugujnpcd to do this in the mannar that is best for the in
ferosU Of the state. The $15 man is the one who is more
apt to give up, to desert and leave the woman to bwtf the
burden alone." " ' . ..
Completing a" survey or the school system of
Salt Lake City, Professor Cubberley told the authorities
there that it will be only a short time until a full half of all
the taxes collected will be spent for educational purposes
Originally the state's motives in attempting the educa
tion of its youth was to Stamp out gross illiteracy. This
developed into a desire to encourage intlligent citizenship
genrally, and now the motive has changed until there is
a growing general demand for training in economic lines.

TO DEPEND ON PEOPLE
Under the head of "Courtesies All Around" the Cot
tage Grove Sentinel voices a sentiment that is reflected in
all newspaper offices. Says the Sentinel: "The nicest
courtesy you can show your guests is to have their visits
mentioned in The Sentinel. The nicest courtesy you can
show your frinds is to let them know of your visits through
a news item in The Sentinel. The nicest courtesy you can
show the editor is to bring to the office a complete write-up
of any news item which you know."

Even if there is no formal Fourth of July celebration
in Springfield, the people of this community will join in
proper observance of the momentous event of '76.
With no celebration at home, Springfield people have
an excellent opportunity to make fraternal visits to some of
the nearby communities who are celebrating.
