en he has been in the past, no n
ter how unsatisfactory have been tl
results of his schooling, wisdom ai
prudence bid us look resolutely t
ward the future. And this brings 1
to consider another aspect of my o
ject.
Another Duty of -the South.
Not only is it the duty of tl
state to maintain schools for tl
children, and to require them to a
tend the schools but it has yet a:
other duty- It is the imperative dui
of the/state to provide the right kit
of schools, and the right kind of ed1
cation for the people. I am fully pe
suaded that much of the problem i
school attendance has its roots de(
down in that other great problem
the kind of education our people net
and demand. It would perhaps I
wide of the truth to say that our a
tendance would beeome ideal if o1
schools were ideal; yet it is perfec
ly reasonable to say that our atten
atice would be better were our schoo
nore efficient. Certainly we con
lore consistentlfy enforce atten
nee. The schools of the peop]
especially above the primary gradc
need recolst rcit ion, readjustinc
and reariculation. This may soum
just a bit radical, but I insist thi
some of the defects are radical. Po
sibly the greatest defect in our schoo
is their failure to inculcate a tas
and appreciation for work. Educ
tion should fit men for the best se
,ice to the society in which they liv
'ervice implies work. It can not 1
enied that the schools of the peop
re so organized and articulated i
alienate the pupils from all kin<
manual labor. The feeling is det
ounded in our pupils that educ
m is to free them from labor, i1
d of making their labor more ef
,nt. They are going to school
I arn how to escape work and son
of the results are only too obvioi
The office of the village hotel, tl
viflnge grocery store, the unpolic
railway station and the public pai
are daily crowded with idlers at
loafers. notwithstanding the fact th
the whole country is echoing with tl
cry for laborers. These idlers are 1
110 mIeans all illitmates; many
fl'em have a fairly good elementai
educal ion, so far as books are col
erned, but they have not been trai1
,d to work and they are avoidii
,ork. The presence of these idle
s a constnnt reminder of the misdi
Cection in our educational ideals. T1
idle poor are a menace to peaace; tl
dle rich are even more dangerous.
A New Foundation Stone.
When our schools shall have p1
our people in the way to great
pr-perity, by cultivating in them
relish for ionest toil, and by givii
them more specific and comprehe
ive traiing' for the commoii voc
1.ns of life, we shall have given
nw foundation stone to our natioi
al istruturce. I have already said th

le ' No state can attain. to an enviable
le eminen-ce unless its citizens are or
t- derly. No lesson more needs to be
a. burned into the very lives of our
;y American people than that of civic
id order. At times it would seem that
,i- the very foundations of our society
r- are threatened by the disregard for
)f law, for order and for reason. No see
