WASHINGTON COMMENT. Are you an educated man? Ask yourself. You won't be able to answer, but ask the question anyway. Whether you are college president or W day laborer, minister in the pulpit, or tiller of the soil, seller of boots and shoes, or buyer of farm products, you won't be aole to answer truthfully, because you don't know just what is meant here by the term "educated". * * ' 1 1 Is a man educated wno mows uwu and only books? If a professor of Sanscrit ;ried to make his living pitching hay, he would be as badly off k as the farm hand who essayed to teach f a dead language. Education must fit for a particular job, or it isn't education. So the question must be asked intelligently, "are you educated for your work?" The United States as a whole is passing through a formative period in education. To the pioneer "book learning" represented all that he didn't know and wanted to know. But today mere "book learning" does not mean education in the true sense, unless for a bookish career. Education must fit a man for his work in life, or it is not real education. A college teaching farming educates a man to be a farmer, but would fce poor training for a doctor. The farmer who tried to learn the rotation for crops ana tne cnemisiry oj. xwuiizers by studying in & medical school would not receive an education which was of use to him. ' So it is with too many of our schools ... they teach, but what they teach is not what many of the students need most to know. There is one of a thousand reasons why the Towner-Sterling bill now before Congress, to create a Department of Education, must be made into law . . . that there be some Government agency with the authority and the power to investigate and advise regarding education, that our young people may learn what they need to learn in order to be successful men, women and children. Alexander Graham Bell is dead. To the world at large it is the ven| erable inventor of the telephone who r has passed or. To a much smaller (group, it is beo'ved educator, a teacher of ;he most difficult pupils in the world, who has left the sphere of his activities. Dr. Bell, whose labors in science and invention brought him fame and i j . J J ^ j j fortune, did not cease his benefits to ? humanity with the invention of the telephone. Before that epoch-making li invention and during all his long life, he has beet, a teacher of the deaf and I dumb, a student of means to enable c the dumb to learn to speak, and the l deaf co learn to "hear," either through li instruments or by lip-reading. v The whole world talks by telephone, ii nor gives a thought to the man whose I genius made it possible. But no deaf e mute learns to communicate with his fellows, no dumb person learns to v speak, but pays mental tribute of o erateful appreciation to the humani- l tarian, scientist, inventor, teacher and b educator who spent his life in the am- b elioration of their misfortunes, and on 1; whose teachings the whole modern sci- t ence of speech taught to the speechless may be said to rest. b Prof. J. J. McKenzie died Auguts 1 u in Toronto, and the world loses a sol- _ dier of progress which it can ill afford to spare. Dr. McKenzie, during the war, was so impressed with the e pus-forming germs called streptococci ? that he devoted his life to experiment- ? ing with them, to enable medical sci- tl ence the better to cope with them, f He became infected with the germs, 1 and laid down his life, a martyr to q humanity and the work he loved. 8 On the graves of such as he is built j the house of progress of the race. Doubtless it was of such as he that it was written "He that loseth his life .. shall" find it. ^ Don't laugh at the man with the Q "crazy idea." b Forty-five years ago Thomas A. e Edison laughed at himself, because he ^ had a "crazy idea." But he kept on p and today in millions of homes the a phonograph plays. Less than a score. of years ago ? Langley was laughed to death because of his "crazy idea" that man could 8 fly. The greatest mathematician of this country, Newcomb, demonstrated "conclusively (!)" that a heavierthan-air flying machine couldn't fly. The world has been laughing for a ? hundred years ah the^ "crazy idea" that women could, should or would ? vote. y It was a "crazy idea" that two great n nations, with a boundary line between ? them three thousand miles long, could j by treaty, do away with armed camps, ' forts, soldiers, ships of war on lakes. ^ But Canada and the United States never have any use for the soldiers J and the forts displaced by treaty. I Wireless was a "crazy idea." So ^ was Bell's telephone, and Morse's tele- g TheF; ou Fall M Ladi ai Are Aln Silvpr KINGSTREE rraph, and Whitney's cotton gin. Many have thaught Jesus Christ tad "crazy ideas." Don't laugh at the man with the dea which seems "crazy" just beause it's new. If there had never een any new ideas we would still jail unatics and debtors, burn men for witchcraft, and use pine knots for llumination. It is not so long since a tepublic was a "crazy idea" in govrnment. Some day the man will be born fhose crazy idea will end war, strikes, ppression, anarchy, crime, and fraud, le will be laughed at, as all leaders tave been. But let us, you and we, * not among those who deride, merey because not yet has it been given o us to understand. A real idea of progress, of human etterment, come sfrom God. Don't laugh at it because you don't mderstand it. n6tice.
