AcilRg t'amni. n.l.-i
UK recent gntlierinof lencliers ami e.(lurnto'is in this
eitv discussed and listened to nddreses unon
nmny quest ions at'i'ectin our st-hools. They weije in abil
ity the tfquals p'obnbly of any like number of public school
teachers from auy part, of the country. Their proVeedinfts,
however, loueh a' note of disapporntnient in the intelligent
observer. ( , , - , ,
The reason for this is the almost total absence of
ideality. In this the teachers reflect the spirit and senti
ment of the t ink's. Thoy are seemingly guided and con
fined by it. Instead they should rise above it. mold and
giude it. For education is the subject which involves all
other subjects.
In Oregon we seem to have caught the fag end of what
the educators of the east are discarding vocational edu
cation. The proposal ,to unite or affiliate with the depart
ment of vocational education and the commercial teach
ers' association, will not better the educational system of
our public schools.
Tho public schools should be the place to prepare the
vouth for citizenship, and this means for parenthood. It
means, or should mean, in a government like this is sun-
posed to be, not only for good obedience to its fonus and
laws, but a citizenship with aspirations and ideals that ,'in
t,ime would create and construct a still higher form of
government.
As a government cannot vise higher than the people, the
advance in government must be prf-ceded by their intel
lectual elevation. And this can never come' in a country
where economic conditions condemn a large part of the
people to servile, menial and manual labor.
'rhe great ambition thai lias led .mankind onward and
upward has been the desire for intellectual and economic
freedom. The people, who all their active lives are re
quired to respond 'to (he factory bell and mill whistle are
engaged in conscientious servitude. Years of toil kills
hope and deadens ambition.
, ,l"f the hope ami ambition so destroyed were only the
hope and ambition to rise and shine above the mass of
mankind according to the present concept of successful
life, the picture would not be entirely displeasing, but it
kills and destroys (he greater hope and ambition that
wopld with slight stimulation be present in every youth
the hope and alnbition for intellectual nifd spiritual
growth.
In recent years the idea of intellectual development has
in our schools and colleges been thrust aside for the sup
posedly more important idea of preparing the youth to
get along in the world. In truth, our school system, as
our politics and press, has been branded with .the dollar
mark. Such is the cause of vocational and commercial edu
cation. They will produce two classes worker and em
ployer, and undoubtedly finished products. Hut when a
whole generation has been educated along those lines, be
hold the result!
Schools and colleges are but tho beginning of educa
tion. Theylmt point, the way to the sources of knowledge
and nature. Hut when education is so devised iluit oimmi-

pat ions ot citizens are iixed in their childhood b.va course
of training, they will not be free, but the victims of a gen
eration that is going out while they are coining in.
The lives of Lincoln, (May and Jackson are often
pointed out as showing that poverty is uot. suppressive of
talo.nl. The reason that poverty did not destroy tliem and
other great men of tiioir time was because such povertv
as they lived under did not restrain their intellectual lib
erty. But had Lincoln been taught, the tailors' trade at
.school, and from school entered a shop to work at it, and
Clay been thus made a wheelwright and Jackson a horse
shoor, they would probably have remained so all their
lives.
Hut instead of that, with very little education, their
minds were left free to receive impressions and dream
dreams unfettered by any attempt to mold their minds
at the impressionable age along the lines of anv vocation,
mid being left free they sought and found their places in
tile, world.
Time was wlien education meant a studv of the classics
and this meant familiarity with the philosophers of
(Jreece and Rome, who discussed every subject tlmt occu
pied the minds of men down to the present dav, and whose
ideals embraced codes of ethics and morals which the
world has never improved upon and probably never will.
In the Iliad, the Odys.M'.v and the Aenid, 'in the trage
dies of Sophocles and the plays of tiuripides thev foiind
inspiration for every good ami nohlt thought and deno
tion of all vicious and ignoble aims. Hut for IMato we have
.substituted thesawbiick and for Sophocles the college veil.
As a result the youth leave the schools and eiUerlilV
without serious interest in the politics of their dav, which
means the form of government under which thov five. And
it they attempt a part they are seen to be wholiv ignorant
id the lirst principles of government, because their educa
tion on tlmt great question has been as nothing, and left
them a prey to a vicious press.
Their ideals have not been aroused, and thev find them
selves wanting in murage to voice the natural sentiments
1 ijl honor, just ice and equity thai are everprosen't in vouth.
Ilicir minds luxe erntered on the vard-stick, and thev
have lost siid,!. r the sun and the stars.
