we have a vast number of nervous
wrecks, a burden to themselves and
to the public because they are too
weak, either physically or mentally,
or both, to stand what is placed upon
them by the teachers. Many of them
if strong enough physically, have not
been born with sufficient gray matter
ever to apply the higher education
with which it is sought to equip them
should they live through the ordeal.
Teaching does not produce brain
substance, but only arms the brains
with tools for the struggle of modern

should be many stations where child-
ren could be discharged, fitted to fill |
d intended them to perform. To
ucation, the e¢urriculum would have to |
| be adjusted so as to round up certain
| degrees of education essential for
| them to pursue successfully some of
! the lesser positions in life.
The present system of having af
continuous chain of study from the |
primary school to the high school
leaves no link that is complete within
itself to provide for many of the oc-
cupations which are humble but stili
| indispensable to our existence in
| civilized life.
Those sufficiently endowed with
natural ability to make use of the
higher education really represent a
minority of our children. Those with
weaker mentality, who are forced to
keep up with those more richly en-
dowed so that they may graduate
from our high schools, are often
rendered too proud to seek the more
humble positions in life. Many of
these who find themselves in that
position become a burden to the pub-
lic and often tumble into paths of
dissipation.
This chat is not my first attempt
during my life to awaken the educa.
tors to the necessity of recognizing
the fact that nature has not made us
all alike. This great variation is
found in animate and inanimate lite
and is generally consistent with the
versatility of the necessities of man.
The teaching world, however, seems
to be highly specialized to take a
broad view of the subject. Since it
has failed, parents will have to pro-
vide the solution themselves. Let
them lay aside sentiment and try to
measure their children’s capacity for
education and their aptitudt to use
education, so that they may be pre-
pared by the proper kind of education
to succeed in the character of work
nature endowed them for.
This want of having more varied
courses of study to meet the varied
mental capacities of the students and
their positions in life, has always
been of vitel importance. But in
these war days wise conservation of
education and health are doubly
vital. If we are to lose some of our
esting and impressive, to the P.O. S.
