Succeeding articles will deal with particular phases which are applicable to the needs of the children in our own state. The time is past when the duty of the school was to teach a child the three Rs. Lqft to. himself he "will master these. Today we 'de mand that our children he given a training that will help them meet the problems of life. The -- problem -- oLunaking a .livirig has become a vital one; - Parents with s . large familiesfindit necessary1 to make the hoy and girl of fourteen a productive agent. This is no doubt due to the change in industrial conditions that has taken place during the last fifty years. Competition has become keen along all lines. The cost of living hag almost doubled. Inventions, division of labor and a demand for technkaTknowledge has raised problems that must be solved in the near future. Take, for 'example, the a labor problem, which is demanding the attention of employes as well as employers. Wages have steadily increased, but the efficiency to. the output has not kept pace, lose who are -- trained todo skilled Jabor are . few and .as a result many products that are turned out are of a mediocre grade. Education which reaches the masses seems to he the only solution. , Two opposing ideas are ad TaWed work of Jhe school. One says that the school should fit a. child J for vocations of life. In an avenue of escape is it short, from the ordinary occupations. The other holds that'the real pur. tx t the home and the local community give power to think, to m; stand, to, appreciate,-- . to. seethe -larger relationships and meanings of the numerous vocational activities as they maintain themselves as vital parts of our life today, that we urge a change in the methods of teaching arthimetic.. The field of history is a broad" one,' but how much of the history that is studied today will be remembered or has a bearing upon problems of the future? Through a process of elimination we should find the great epochs of social advance, and then see iTow society has reached its" present complex form, how institutions, discoveries and. inventions modify our social life of today. Such a " process'd jliminationandnrab stitution oLsubjec A matter will--give ample room for the study of agriculture, manual training, do- mestic science, gardening, chicken raring, electricity and other vital part of a childs environ- ment. In conclusion, we believe that our schools should give 'a child a training that would better fit him for life than our present system offers. Such a training must de- velop out of experiences with vocations that the child will later be called upon to pursue. That all classes of children must be considered equally the child who is hie to remain in school a short time-- andtheone-wh- o contem-Vates a college course.
