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

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.
