Heideman Richard Lambrecht William Wachs THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1919 INTELLIGENCE FIRST The popular demand for practicality in our educational endeavor is in- tive of an honest effort to make our schools and colleges functibn tively in a democracy. It cannot be doubted that there is need to adapt educational practice to the changing social and industrial conditions, it should be equally evident that what is needed is not revoluton but justment. This means that the extremes of theory - on the one hand, education should meet the test of practical efficiency; on the other d, that education should primarily be concerned with mental culture - t both give way to some form of education which shall represent a syn- is of these two points of view. In this great democracy of ours there id be educational advantage for all in the interest of alk, not in the rest of the favored few or of special classes. Our problem is to dis- mr what is best for the nation, not What the individual may prefer for self. A true democracy should recognize the necessity for providing equal artunities for education and for providing the same basic education for *ho are to assume the responsibilities of citizenship. Nor may bread butter pursuits be neglected at any stage in education. The earning i livelihood is of primary importance. But to prescribe the means reby a boy or girl shall earn a living may readily impose a check upon ative that augurs ill for the nation.as well as for the individual. Every- ' in a democracy is entitled to as abundant a living as the proper exer- of his powers can command. But to train a boy to a mechanical :ess before his faculties have awakened, and his capacity for choice exhibited itself, may be to force him into an industrial trap. Every should be helped to win for itself something more than the pay-check ards. It should be made appreciative of all sorts of intangible values- osity, imagination, sympathy, and judgment. This means that if the 1-worker is to be happy and effective as a citizen, he must bring to his resources of thought and spirit, a knowledge of what constitutes good k in his particular line and the urge of pride in its accomplishment, as as practical skill. No man can be happy and contented without food clothing and shelter; but also no one can be properly happy without ligence. . It is quite apparent, therefore, that vocational education must be ideal- must be brought very largely into the realm of speculative theory, as has been done with the various professional disciplines. A good law vol, for example, does not teach its students solely how to apply useful s to anticipated emergencies in court practice, a procedure which would ce law to a mechanical trade. Rather, it presents law as a department :nowledge, as a legal science, embodying man's conception of justice of social obligation. The lawyer must study ideal justice, not merely icular remedies. He must possess critical judgment based upon a broad .dation of fact gathered from the history of man's struggle to establish an rights and duties. In the light of these fundamental principles he interpret the given case. Likewise must the education of the artisan with the principles that underlie his craft. He must be trained to an 'eciation of its methods, so that he may be quick to discover possibili- for improvement and be readily adaptable to changing. conditions, as as intelligently occupied. Vocational training must be education in king as well as in dexterity. So long, therefore, as vocational training i to develop mere skill in the interest of speedy accomplishment, it Lid never be given place in our present high schools, much less in our ges. Fducation may be expanded to include much besides enlighten- t, but it can never be compressed to include less, without disaster to our ocracy. What the world needs most.at present is clear, disinterested thinking. ons and individuals are too commonly disposed to think in terms of t and loss, to judge values in the light of selfish advantage. In the ring of society there is too much of impulse and too little of judgment, nuch-of passion and too little of reason. It is the business of enlightened enship, and therefore of our schools and colleges, to know the facts, then to interpret them critically. Education for the good of the nation t represent constructive scholarship. And eadh successive stage in 'ational progress should lay increasing emphasis upon intellectual nction. Those who lack the capacity for scholarship must be helped illow the patterns of those more worthy of leadership, but the patterns t not be reshaped to their limitations.' The primary business of a uni- ity is intellectual conquest for social betterment. Anything that stands he way of. this conquest is a menace to free institutions. Truth alone steer a surescourse through the currents of conflicting self-interests. lone remains steadfast amid the shifting values of life. We cannot afford, therefore, to admit to our universities any narrow tion without the attendant, ideal intellectual interest. No man need ess of a philosopher for being a carpenter, but it does not follow that >sophy should be abolished because more men are capable of carpentry of philosophy. Let the manual interests be redeemed from drudgery ugh critical analyses, but do not attempt to abolish drudgery by reducing ctivities to the dead level of drudgery. )ne of the obtrusive faults in our universities today is the dominance of rade instinct. Students are thinking in terms of specialized interest, as intelligent citizens. They are acquiring ready facilities rather than cal Judgment; they are being instructed rather than educated. The is in the air we breathe. Success means getting on in the world, rather 'the realization of one's best self. It is therefore not difficult to under- L why so large a part of college life is devoted to non-academic inter- th'e thousand and one social distractions that have no relation to arship. These things have become vital because they furnish rewards i slight effort and ability may win, whereas intellectual accomplish-' requires devotion and disciplined powers. The remedy is not to sub- ;e a lesser for a worthier distinction, in the hope that greater numbers attain it, but rather to remove as; many as possible of the obstacles that nt the greater number from achieving the higlrst distinction. Instead, fore, of forcing trades into the colleges, let the disinterested intelli- iof the colleges be infused into the trades. - The Michigan Alumnus.

GOVERNMENT CUTS SCHOOL SPORT TAX Washington, July 30. - America's football fans will feel one less touch of the high cost of sports, through a recent ruling of the treasury depart- ment. The ruling is that where the money from a football game or other form of collegiate sport is used exclu- sively in educational work, the 10 per cent war tax is exempted. Educational work is interpreted to mean the maintenance of an athletic establishment and department of phys- ical education and included in educa- tion are musical programs given with a desire to educate, and maintenance of zoological parks for educational purposes. The interpretation was broad enough to include high schools and colleges where control of the moneys received for athletic purposes is vested in fac- ulty members. Schools where, indi- viduals or organizations of students or alumni have charge of the funds, or receive a profit therefrom, must continue to exact the tax from their patrons.
