T. G0IJGH Registered Veterinarian The problem of education is taking more and more possession of the public mind. People are studying as perhaps theythave never done hitherto the effects produced upon their children by the instruction that they get, in the schools of all kinds. Is it the right kind of education? Almost a hundred years ago De Toequeville, in one of the wisest books ever written, his 'Democracy in America, made two significant remarks which are applicable to an extremely important side of this problem. One of these remarks is to the effect that America is the only country in which the starting point of a. great people has been clearly observable, and the other, literally, is this: It is by the attention it' pays to public education that the original character of American civilization - e is at once placed in the dearest light j ,.- two these the things together Putting absolutely new start made by the people of this republic and the tendency which they showed from the beginning to make popular intelligence the basis of their commonwealth what was the natural course for them to pursue with regard to public education, as far as that education related to instruction in history and the principles of society and government? Surely it was to put American ideals and American history, from the American viewpoint, foremost. It was a duty they owed themselves and their descendants to cultivate with extreme care the spirit in which their new institutions had been started. .'."HsUv. Manifestly the very best means of such cultivation was offered by the schools. And for a long time the duty was performed and American children came forth, from American schools indomitably rooted in the faith of American ideals. They believed the fathers of their country were right, that the American Revolution needed no vindication, and this new nation owed no excuses to European monarchies for having rejected tlieir ; g , ,. ... r,..' system. 115-- .

One fault of our educational method is that history is taught wrong end foremost. We begin with English kings, European autocrats, the feudal system and the struggles of divine right dynasties. These things take up so much time that there is little left in which to study what our forefathers did. Teach the young American first the history and the principles of his own country, then he will know where he stands in the world and what he stands for. After that give him the 6torj of the Old World, which he will then be in a position to value at ita true worth.
