DR. CLAXTON
ON EDUCATION
The head of matters educational im
the United States is Hon. Dr. C. I.
Claxton, Commissioner off Education
-and Somerset County éeachers wore
‘indeed fortunate to hear one so noted |
and able at their County institute last
“week.
He made his point in the course of a
plea for ideal schools, showing that
‘the United States is the wealthiest
country in the World. He showed tha
wealth of the United States by a com-’
parison with European countries.
' Germany, with her world-famous effi-
ciency, he said can’t approach us in
manufactures. In six years, he point-
ed out, we manufactore goods, the val-
ue of which would buy all that the
Kaiser's country makes in a similar
period and the whole German empire
besides. He also showed that our man-
ufactured products in a relatively
~-short time would buy the whole nation
of Italy. While he did not press the
free trade feature of the international
comparison, his conclusions proved
that the whole. protection theory is
unsound in both principle and opera-
tion.
Dr. Claxton also endorsed woman
suffrage and declared that no power
-under heaven can much longer prevent
the fair sex from exercising their ia-
disputable right of franchise. He
pleaded earnestly for an ideal govern-
ment. Much depends on the teachers
.of the land to make possible an ideal
government, he told the assembled
educators, and on them in a large
measure reste the. responsibility for
for putting into concrete form the lof-
ty ideals of Hberty and justice that in-
-spired the founders of he republic.
Dr. Claxton declared that all schools
should be vocational to a great ex-
tent. First of all, he said the child

FOR SEPTEMBER?
It is as yet an unsettled question as
or not the school teach-
ers of hé State who had been notified
to appear for work about the middle:
of September and boards were for-
bidden by the State Health Commniss:
ion from opening the schools until
October 2, shall be paid for this tinge.
Some of the cities have taken the
stand that their teachers should and
would be paid. Especially does this
notification appear for work to those
teachers who live out of the district
in which they teach, cause a hardship. 3
No doubt the attorney general of the
state will have to give his decision
in the matter, derived from the public
school code some excerpts from which
are here given
