8 TOfbMEN tor ft CURSE OF EDUCATION Harold E. Gorst WmM Steer Pres- ent System Out of Eristcvre. cf Education" was the "'in of the lecture by Harold B. Sent. of Sir John former Minister of Education in Great Britain, before the League for Political Education.

at Berkeley Theatre, yesterday morning; but Mr. Gorrt didn't pay that all education was a Be only paid that tn? schools of to-day to be swept from the of the earth and the present of education put out of existeace. Dr. William H. Maxwell, who was on the -'form, then told Mr Gorft why he thought -were doing pretty well, considering, and Dean Russell of Teachers College.

Henry M. L-ipzlger. of lectures in the public schools, and Charles Rand Kennedy, playwright. aiso replied to the- English lecturer. "I challenge any sac in this audience." said Mr.

Gorst, "to and assert that he is what Nature Intended him to be, or what he intended to be himself 1 don't believe that even my opponent. Dr. Maxwell, would accept that challenge. We are all of up conscious of virtues and abilities that were nipped in the bud. What malevolent influence has at work upen us? Surely it is not the fault of evolution.

Is the system of education men have put into a system that crushes individual development. "You begin It with the baby at home. What does your child with toy you give him? He breaks it. Whereupon you reprove him. 1 or perhaps, in the exercise of your parental authority, even slap kirn.

But the child doesn't break the toy wantonly. He does it in the spirit of investigation, a spirit he shares -with Darwin and Huxleir. Be does it in the spirit of the creator and your reproof deals that spirit perhaps a mortal blow." Schools. Mr. Gorst said, "are mills to grind each child Into a pattern with all other children.

Elementary education practises a cruel deception on poor, for it leads the parent to believe that his child will be fitted for something. As a mat ter of fact the child Is turned out at fourteen, fitted for not even educated enough to realize his ignorance He has learned to look down on the artisan and to aspire to be a a clerk, whose days are spent in adding up columns of rums which are not for pocket. even carpenter who makes a box Is a creator. As for higher education, in England at least, it done little but glut the market with "briefless barristers, struggling clergymen, ill paid secretaries, some of whom in despair turn to Journalism, only to 2nd themselves distanced by men who have never been to college, and freshness of mind. therefore, has never been destroyed." Schools, Mr.

Gorst taid, should be to make the pupils thinking is a faculty that may easily be- destroyed by learning things by rote. I wish that having children commit things by rote could be made a criminal offence. Remember every time you drive a fact into a brain you drive out en idea. The brain is an instrument for not a repository for facts. We hear it said that there is no genius nowadays, and certainly we meet mediocrity everywhere.

That is not the fault of evolution, which produce more, not less, genius as time goes oi. It is our educational sys- tena, "which crushes imagination." The special weakness in the training of girls, Mr. Gcrst said, was that it educated them away from their future destiny that of being mothers. "The great majority of girls." he said, "are to be wives and mothers, and, barring a few cooking classes, absolutely nothing Is to fit them for that career. In fact, they are, on principle, carefully educated away from it." Oar elementary (schools.

Mr. Gorwt thoujeht. should replaced by groups of workshops, kitchens, varied spheres of activity, in which skilled might discover the natural bent of the child and assist in Its development. "For later education." be said, should have groups at colleges some for agriculture, some for manual pursuits, some for arts and for scientific research; for we must keep a little scholarship. But remember- tha future belongs not to the nation with the largest armament, but to nation which recognizes that education means the development of the Individual bent." Dr.

Maxwell, in his reply, pointed out that many of schools In New York contained "We with Mr. Gorst. he said. 'That nothing 'is more needed than to find the aptitude of the individual child, but our schools are trying to do that. Froebel, the great educator, taught that every child must learn to create, and every well ordered school with a kindergarten.

But parents will Insist that their children be taught toread." Mr. Leipziger pointed out that Dr. Maxwell "had always been the exponent of email classes. But we to reckon with the taxpayer." Dean Russell said that a small part, after all, of education was gained in the schools. "We are educated by the Church, by society, by contact with one another.

But the chief difficulty of our schools is that ws have taken over too much of the English system that of adapting the schools to the needs of the few. But we Americans are trying to build up schools that will raise the averag all equality of opportunity. We are not training children into set forma, and If any English critics think so. I bee leave to differ with them. Mr.

Kennedy thought that In many ways our civilization was "on tha road to damnation, anyhow. We have politics and no citizens; theology and no textbooks on art ad nauseam and no artists. We a.re such damned idiots pardon try language: Mr. Gorrt kept me up till 3 o'clock lart night such cowards that we never dare say "Tnus saith the. with regard to the productions of our own We measure every performance by some other person's performance.

The social columns of the newspapers have announced that she is visiting Mrs. Bourke Cockran. but the real purpose of her visit, it is stated on the best authority, 'is to confer with Justice Brewer of the United States Supreme Court about a big suffrage mass meeting which will be held in New York next month, and at which Justice Brewer will be the chief speaker. The Equality League's meeting will be held on the evening of February 1, at Cooper Union, with Professor Charles Zueblln as the principal speaker, and it is expected that it will bring together all the- various elements of the suffrage movement.

"ISTS" BETUDDLE PUPILB. Mrs Leveridge Would Bar Socialists and Suffragists from Schools. Suffragists, socialists, all kinds of "ists." In short, will have- to refrain from presenting their "isms" in lectures at public schools, if Mrs.

Phyllis Leveridge, chairman of the local school board of dis trict No. 4. and Grover Whalen and W. H. Dunnell, of the same board, have their way.

In the report of the board. Just issued, Mrs. Leveridge ana her cowcrkers assert that invited guests of the Fchools, when asked to "address the pupils." r.ave a dreadful way of befud-iling the tender minds of the children with all kinds of aabjecta they aren't fit to grapple with at all. Mrs Leveridge wins her point, all addresses to echoo children will be censured beforehand by strict inquiry. Ko one ran hurl chunks of politics, single tax.

Here is the way report puts it: The local school board would state that It to have noted that during the, last year subjects have been placed before pupils (children and youth) attending 1 various activities under the auspices of the Board of Education whitfh. though they may be of current interest to the public at large, are far beyond the full conception of those seeking to enlarge their knowledge in our schools. We have noticed at various times that invited guests presented FoolaJlein, suffrage, politics and like subjects far beyond ths capacity of fair Judgment of the hearers. As school activities are primarily and mainly established Cor the purpose of developing fair and even growth in understanding and meeting the of life, ft does not fair to place before those attending the sessions individual or onepided phases of temporary agitations which are in way expedient to the development we seek and aim at.

We would recommend that some means adapted to ascertain beforehand rhe nature of addresses by visitors those not officially connected with the aystem. STONY WOLD'S SUCCESS. Sanatorium Freed from Mortgage by Strenuous Efforts. Stony Wold Sanatorium has been through troublous times duriajr the last year, but has come out flying colors.

But both dangers were averted. In the case of the financial difficulties the patientH themselves rallied to the support of the institution. They held a meeting to consider the matter, end besides voting $400 from "appreciation fund," raised by bazaars and other means for sanatorium needs, they decided that they could help with the work and tbus reduce the number of em.

Bryson Delavan reported that the percentage of apparent cures had been much greater though, what could be done with the children of such marriages in cases where the marriages turned out badly, and no one, apparently, has hit on a satisfactory solution of that somewhat important part of the problem. "Yes, I go to see every fairy play that Is put on the boards," said the elderly woman with the humorous eyes. "I wear an amulet; a rabbit's foot is my most cherished possession. I always wish when I see the new moon, and I wouldn't pass under a ladder for the world. For we live in an -Tiro that is too practical, and I believe in cherishing every rag and remnant of fancy.

In explanation of the term "apparent cure" Dr. Delavan said: "No case can reasonably be considered a until It has remained in a condition of apparent cure for at least two years, and the utmost '-are must be exercised during this period, and also after it. to prevent relapse. The failure of the patient and her friends to understand tils has led to many unnecessary relapses and much undeserved criticism. Almost all of the ex-pauents who were apparently cured on discharge have done -very well since, and very many of them are earning their living or taking care of their own homes.

The arrested cases do of course, show as good postdischarge results; nevertheless, a pood many at work and some have gone on improving and hava become apparently cured." Mrs. Gardner Wetherbeo presented report of the farm committee, nnd reports from twenty auxiliaries were presented by the chairmen. Chancellor Henry M. MacCracken of New York University was also a speaker. REALTY NOTES.

At close, which was almost at the best point of the day. prices up to to lc. compared with yesterday's close. Corn also closM strong: at r.et gains of He to to Oats were firm and provisions steady. Renewed talk of possible war In the Balkans seemed to likve considerable influence on wheat market and was partly responsible for active cover- Ing by leading shorts, which resulted In Ptrong tone during the greater part of the day.

A decline of 3-13 In consols apparently furnished some basis for the war scare. The marVot. however, was also JaulUfhly affected by failure of European grain markets to reflect th' weakness here yesterday and by the activity nnd strength of the corn market. There was a slump In prices about midday following a break at Minneapolis, but the market conn rallied again and continued strong balance of the session. May dosed at $1 and July at Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to bushel.i.

Prtmary receipts were 323.000 bushels, compaied with 422.000 bushels the corresponding day a year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 164 cars, against 147 curs last week and 221 cars a year ago. Additional purchases of nearly 1.500.000 bushels of corn by the local houses who supported the market yesterday caused a decidedly strong tono throughout the entire session to-day. There was also an active general demand, and the volume of trado was larger than that of any day for some past. The srnallness of receipts and an awakening of export demand were mainly responsible for the strength.

Omaha reported the first sale of the season of corn for export, the consignment consisting of 200,000 Jnushels to go via the Gulf. Cash corn In the sample market here WSJ up to Tho market closed strong at the top point of the day, with al! distant deliveries rest- Ing at the same point, namely, Sic Local receipts were 22-1 cars, with 1 of contract grade. oats were firm. in sympathy with wheat and corn, bat the volume of trade was not large. Thn reappearance of dfmand for cash oats by New England bouses had also a strengthening Influence.

The market closed firm, with May at to and July at Local receipts were 112 cars. Profit taking in January pork had a weakening: effect on provisions, but at close the. mark. was steady, although January pork was oft 2214 compared with the previous close.

The Iron Age The whole iron and BteeJ trade is dull, and, Is recognised that January Is usually a quiet month, still there is keen disappointment at the manner in which new business has i out.

Pending tariff revision is usually assigned the principal cause, hut there are again many who attach less importance to it as a factor, and this feeling seems to be more prevalent further West It is the uncertainty in regard to prices for iron and stfel which Is regarded as a potent drug. While the concessions are not large, they seem i be growing more general and are having a moral effect is unsettling. They are. shaking con fidence in the co-operation among: the leading manufacturers and are raising: the spectre of a warr It is pointed out. however, that a concerted readjustment of prices would have little effect unless thcie were a demand which would be stimulated.

It would be a question, too. of the amount of the reduction accepted by the makers. There la a group who would be inclined at the psychological moment to start buying by a radical cut. The amount of structural material placed is not but prospects are quite fair. The Iron Trade Review says: Specifications on some finished material contracts, steel rails and bars, have Increased, giving more activity to the mills, but for the most part the market is very dull.

Reports cf concessions on plates, sheets and structural terial are more frequently heard. The Carnegie Steel Company has started the first of Its twelve new open hearth furnaces at the Ohio Younsstown, and will now be able to roll open hearth rails. The Illinois Steel Company will start its No. 1 mill at South Chicago in a few days, after a year's idleness. The rail mill at Gary, in which a trial run was recently made, will rolling next month The enlarged wire plant of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company will be soon in full operation.

The pig iron- market is dull in all parts of country, and while furnaces are a rule adhering- pretty well to quotations; which have prevailed for gome time, middleman are at prices. Some foundries are requesting that shipments be deferred, and on the who the outlook is not encouraging. An Inquiry for 15.09*1 tons of basic from a company In western Pennsylvanie did not result In an being placed.
