EDUCATION OF BOYS FOR PRACTICAL LIFE Idea That College Training Should be Purely Classical Has Been A ban doncd?New Plan Is to Bring Stu dent Closer to Things Which wIU Help Him Directly. (By W. M. Riggs, President of Clem son College.) Recent educational thought has put remarkable stress upon the idea of re lating the school and college to life. A perusal of the programmes of edu cational meetings will show that from a half to three-fourths of the time of such gatherings, national. State and county is given to the discussion of such topics as the rural school, the school nnd life, training for service, and others similar to these. For sev eral years the whole trend of educa tional reform has been away from the old idea of the purely classical course. Some schools have made no changes; but wherever changes have been made they have almost invariably been of a practical or scientlllc nature. The school of a hundred years ngo, took the student away from life. It trained his Intellect and trained It well, but It turned him back Into a busy world to which he had become a stranger. He had been trained to think In abstract terms?to theorize: but he found the world full of con crete problems calling for practical solution. He found much work to do for which he had little training. The modern idea is to train a man to think in terms of things as well as in terms of ideas?that a man may get knowledge by doing something as well as from studying about what has been done; and that the knowledge thus gained and made usuahle Is of more value to the individual and to society than is mere abstract learning. Not Sordid Ideas. Some think that education for effi ciency means training for sordid ma terialism. Such Is hardly the case. It cannot make a man more selfish to teach him how better to provide for his family, care for his stock, preserve and Increase the fertility of his soil, Which for a while he holds in trust for future generations. Surely, to teach a man how to make a better living will not lead him to a worse life. Making a living and living a| life are both a duty; but the making of the living Is the necessity. The great majority of the people must work for that living, and the educa tion that helps them to make the best living most efficiently, leaving time for the pursuit of happiness nnd culture as well, Is the education that they have a right to expect. The agricultural and mechanical colleges stand for education for the affairs of life. They belong to the great and growing class of modern In stitutions that seek to combine in their courses training in those sub jects and activities that are closest to human life and that make for the enrichment and the efficiency of life. They are not trade schools, for they give a student training In many lines of activity and thus help him to find out what armor is best fitted for his schoulders. This helping a man find out what his talents are, is one of the greatest services a school or college can ren der. Technical Training. The remarkable progress that has been made in agriculture, manufac turing and commerce in recent year* makes technical training all the more necessary. Fifty years ago a man could cultivate virgin soil In a hap hazard way and make a good living; but the man who tries that | . i of farming in South Carolina today is almost certain to fall. Manufactur ing enterprises are now run on a large scale with every hit of lost motion and Waste eliminated. The marvelous development going on In the country now, especially in the South, greatly increases the de mand for men trained for efficie nt ser vice in many of the fields of work. The completion of the Panama canal will add new zest to the commercial life of this section. Railway lines will be extended and Improved. Lowlands will- be drained. Ne*v industries will spring up. Water powers will be de veloped. All these lines of activity wili call ror a great army of efficient workers who are ready to take hold of things and do service for their day and generation. The work may be hard, but it will be worth the while of any s nbitious young man to have a part In the doing of it. A young man can make no better investment than in a technical educa tion. Viewed merely as a matter of business, even If he has to borrow the money at Interest, he will find that his increased earning capacity will perhaps even the first yenr after grad uation be sufficient to repay the loan. It is a poor business policy to wait to earn the money necessary to pay for an education with an earning ca pacity only one-half or one-third that of an educated man. Every year of untrained uneducated labor represents a direct financial loss. Every boy of ability and ambition whose parents who are uaable to pay for his educa tion, Btiouid kvI oouic frlond to Indorse his note at the bank and begin pre paration that will make for greater earning ability and a fuller life. There 1b no time to lose. The world Is look ing for 1.000 horse-power men and Is willing to pay for them. Already there is a surplus of the one-horse power variety. A college education is no longer a luxury for the rich, but more a neces sity of the poor boy whose parents can give him little or nothing to start on. In earning capacity, a college education represents a capital of from $10,000 to $20,000. depending upon the energy, character and personality of the possessor. A college diploma has conn: to be regarded in the business world as an evidence of those qualities of ability, Industry, ambition and character that are likely to make a young man suc ceed If In business for himself, or a valuable employe in a salaried posi tion. There never was a time In the his tory of the world when expert knowl edge was so Indispensable to indi vidual success or more highly compen sated. For the untrained await the positions of low wages, long hours and grinding poverty. The technical college brings within the reach of every boy the benefits and possibilities of an Industrial edu cation. They offer him an opportuni ty to enjoy some of the good things of life. They provide the way where by if he have capacity for knowledge lie need P.nt live in Ignorance. Tech nical education prepares for self-sus tainln, self-respecting. productive citizens, and no young man of Character and ability can afford to do without it.
