lt u look at the matter more in
detail. Every year a certain propor
tion of our children must begin work
and leave school at the end of the
jrrammar grades. . They leave these
jrrades with the elements of arithme
tic, geoprraphy, history, English and
other languages hardly much more.
Thop who are fortunate enough' to
finish hiprh school have, of course,
one much farther into mathematics
and history and the languages, and
into the past and present activities of
the world what we call cosmogony.
But the ioint I am making is that this
system of education strikes me as be
pinning at the end instead of at the
beginning. All these Btudies given
our children have been useful enough,
ut except for mathematics and Eng
lish study, they all constitute a train
ing in the finer things of- life rather
than for life's practical nHds.
Let me hasten to say that I am not
'Jot curtailing in any measure the
fralnincr of the Verv humbl&t of OUT
children for enjoyment of trae finest
things of life. The point is that this
training should come at the proper
time, and that life can mean nothing
to him until he has been taught some
means of earning his livelihood. Our
colleges themselves yearly release to
the world great crowds of eager young
people highly trained in the apprecia
tion of life's finest things. They
lenow the great deeds and the great
works of art of the far past They
have a deep understanding of natural
and economic law. They, have been
taught to understand and enjoy life
and measure the present against the
background of the past. Dut all this
is for enjoyment and understanding,
it is not a training for actual work.
Many a college graduate enters the
world wise enough, but actually be
wildered and helpless. '
Chance for Youth
I would not for anything surrender
or curtail the training we should give
our children in appreciation of the
fine things of life. But long ago it
Mtruck me that for the safety of tho
country, the ideal system of education
Xor the average young man or girl in
oar laiiYt consisted of at least a high
school training and the acquisition of
cme practical trade.
, This has been no idle theory of
mine. The theory has been in practi
cal operation In the home school start
ed and maintained by the Loyal Order
of Moose, at Mooseheart, not far from
Chicago, along the Fox river in Illi
nois. Experts have been generous
enough to praise this experiment in
the highest terms. They have pro
nounced it not simply a remarkably
successful thing In itself, but a model
to . the rest of the country in sound
education.
The idea of Mooseheart occured to
me when I was a worker in the iron
mills of Pittsburg. There I saw heads
of families die and leave their de
pendents totally helpless, the children
with little or no education and driven
to work without the slightest training.
Often they were dispersed so that
the brothers grew apart and unknown
to each other throughout their lives. '

the first place. Moosenearc is a nome.
Mothers are there, so that they need
not be separated from their children.
Babies have- been born there, of ex
pectant mothers left without aid by
less fortunate members of our order.

ishment to deprive the misbehaving
of the privilege of going swimming, or

or the movies. For we regularly ex

Trades Are Taught
Where we do go far beyond the
public school is in the vocation?!
training that we make compulsory.
The utmost skill Is applied in fitting
each child to a trade for which na
ture and his own tastes have adapted
him. The boys learn carpentry, farm
ing, moulding, machine work, metal
work and work in concrete, and the
like. The girls are taught housework,
stenography, secretarial work, and
kindred pursuits. They know dress
making and domestic science. Wheth
er as wives, as wage-earners, or as
destined for a career, girls who leave
Mooseheart are equipped for master
ing life, for understanding life, and
enjoying it. So are the boys.
But the point of this, the everlast
ing point of it. is that - while these
young people leave Mooseheart to
take up life, and while they are
trained to make the most of life and
its fine things, to the playing of music
and the painting of pictures where
they can, they all leave with some
useful trade. Whatever happens to
them in after life, they, will be found
on the rock or sell-support and se f
preservation. Their self-respect is as
secure as tneir livelihood.
