The present public school system is based on that of the Middle ages, founded by priests to develop scholars. In those days only people with aptitude for intellectual attainment went to school. We have taken the schools of the Middle ages, designed for the few, and forced all of the children to go. The children of the people do not have all the abilities and aptitudes such a school demands. And so the school as an organization produces problem children.. I think the only trouble with many children classed as mental defec- that they have aptitudes, sometimes amounting to genius, in schools do not touch. Thomas Edison had been regarded the jects tives is sub- as a tool as a schoolboy. Children born to be mechanics or engineers often became school rebellion as the only way of finding what they needed. their truants, using Even academically brilliant children are often ruined in school because, being fed on what they' liked all the time they are given no opportunity to round out their characters. It is the science of education that is going to save these problem children. We need the point of view of the scientist and not the moralist; but every teacher and superintendent is a moralist. Children havent any morals because they are in the process of developing them. ketball at the University of Virginia.

Herbert Milligan, until 1927 president of the New York Rowing .association, has started a campaign to revive the sport among the schools of New York city.

The sociologist surveyed 103 newspapers and possibly the reason more crime news, was not printed was because newspapers were interested in publishing only the sensational. The power of the press to tell the truth and the whole truth, even to relating all that happens in civil and criminal courts, should not be impaired. Newspapers are the best links between the citizens and the court room. News is the most effective of teachers and for that reason it should be prepared and printed with tact and wisdom. The responsibility of the newspaper is stupendous and on it rests the reputation of a nation and that nations public opinion, ideals and common decency. There has been some criticism of the press as unfair. I do not believe that such criticism is justified. As a whole, newspapers are accurate and speak the truth. They would not exist for long if they did not. Nor do I agree with some that the printing of crime news is an incentive to crime. Rather, I think, it is a deterrent. It makes people think and some good generally comes from their thinking. dyVStf - , PUBLICITY FOR CRIME NEWS Max Schmeling, German heavyweight seeker for the championship, has got down to hard training for his set-t- o with Jack Sharkey in the Yankee stadium, June 12.

BRUNNER, Social Research Worker. The rural population of the United States is losing its power to supply the nation with leaders, and the traditional notion that the thinkers of the country are born in log cabins and educated in rural will be dispelled unless the rush of the best element of the counthe to city is stopped. try There is a growing inequality between the sums spent on individual pupils in city and country schools, and statistics show that specialized vocational education rarely reaches rurai boys and girls. Rural life and rural education are in such a bad state that philanthropists might well focus their dollars on the human side of agriculture. Some time ago the Institute of Social and Religious Research asked 5,000 rural high school boys and girls about their life work. The replies showed no knowledge of the opportunities of the present day. Teaching, nursing and stenography were mentioned almost exclusively by the girls, nor was the boys choice very much more varied. Half of these boys and girls were destined for an urban life for which they had almost no school-hous- es training. Some South American newspapers criticize Argentina for appointing a professonal boxer chancellor of its consulate general in New York. They think it lessens the dignity of the consular service. They forget Gene Tunney. DEFECTS OF RURAL SCHOOL By HELEN HAY HEHL, N. Y. State Education Department. d The little rural school has disadvantages which too often counterbalance the advantages. Of each 1,000,000 children born on farms in this country only 233 attain eminence, while from the same number of city children 1,550 achieve distinction in various fields of work. rural In upstate New York there are approximately 7,000 schools. At the present time 3,165 have an average daily attendance of ten pupils or less, twenty-on- e districts have only one pupil, eighty three districts have two pupils, 177 have only three, and 257 have four pupils. Many school districts have only a handful of voters. Four districts have not a single voter, five have one voter, eighteen have two voters and 809 districts have less than ten voters. School conditions are unprogressive, not so much because of the school organization itself, as because of the size nature of the of the taxing unit, the single school district, upon which the school depends, with consequent lack of funds and poor equipment. much-laude- Heinie Sand, who as shortstop at.

JAMES PROBLEMS M. BECK, Pennsylvania. Washington did not believa that the Union would last unless our dual form of government was preserved in its integrity. He believed in local and he never regarded as a possibility that our nation, so vast in area, could be governed altogether from its capital. The difficulty today with combating an undue centralization of government is that the while the men who framed the Constitution thought in terms of abstract political rights, this generation of Americans thinks only in terms of concrete practical economics. I plead for an awakened conscience on the part of our legislators and the people themselves in the matter of constitutional morality. They Should primarily decide these great questions of constitutionality for themselves. Unless they do, they are in grave danger of losing the benefit! of tb wisest instrument of statecraft that the wit of man ha! yet j devised. |
