AUTOS ARE ll .RE TO STAY.
“Tub: way to unite automobiles cheaper is for people to
buy more of than ‘said an autoulollilist. "When the de-
ninnd warrant. the building of more factories and their cheap-
euiug the proc .s of niauuiztcturing, the machines u-ill be
iliucll cheaper. It will he only a year or so before autonlo-
bllcs will he cht-aper than n h irse and carriage. There are
plenty of men who now have lll.IItS:llId>t‘l0ll2Il' teams, and a very
good auto can he purchased lor those hgures, And while
some pcople think that autos are expensive luxuries, they can
be kept and rnnut -.i less cost than a horse and vehicle re-
quired to do the same work. And an auto is ready for work
instantly, less stalilc rtitiin is needed, there is no hitching
and nuliitclling needed, it never tires on tile hills, and gets
alougmuclt faster, without worrying tlle driver as a jaded
horse will.
“And while inany pcople poke fun at autoiuobiles as being
d.lII;.',el"0tlS. I doubt Wllclller there is as large a iuiiiiiier killed
by uutolllobllcs in proportion to their numbers as there are
hy horses, Au iulto doesn't scare at anything; it doesn’t
ltick or fall tliiwn There arc aiitolnobilists who drive their
machines recklessly, but scnsililc people can make excellent
time on the road without danger to themselves or other peo
ple. An auto can be controlled more easily than a spirited
horse, too. As for the criticism that they scare horses,I
might say that so do trolley cars, traction engines, and I re-
member when my horse used to scare at bicycles. Yet we
don't think of doing withotit those machines for that reason.
There are in.-tny reasons why the nutoulobile will soon be in
general use. The luxury of to-day will he the necessity of
to-nlorrow. That is the law of progress. Improvement, of
course, will be timlc ml the tuiicliiucs, and they will be cheaper.
Bicycles, books, musical iusirninents, sewing mzicllines,
watches and Illillly iiicciiuiiical devices are selling to-day at
half the price of ten years ago. and are in nluch more general “
use. Those who are disposed to sneer all the auto will not
have to live ltlllglo Cllzlllgc theirviews. It is well known that
iiiechaiiicai power siipt-rscilus horse power whenever brought
into conlpetitiotl, and will continue to do so The stage couch
and the horse car hnvc lcft us-the horseless vehicle will soon
be popular." ‘
SHALL HIGH SCHOOL COURSE BE EXTENDED?
A QUESTION which is agitating scholars at present is
whether the course in high schools should not be extended
to six years, in order to perfect tllepnpil for some occupation
after his literary course has been completed.
This twt)-yvar is apt to land sympatliizers,
because it carries with it the it-uiire of polytechnic training;
but is not polytechnic training worthy a place in the high
school curriculum, if not in the entire school course? Edit-
t-xtcnsion
cation with the hands is a most vital and necessary part of .’““"
the training for life,
Education, especially that taught by the public schools,
should “(ll be so zItljIls'te<l and nrraliged that tile few vi 1
proht at the expense of the many
It has been claimed by one of our most learned college
presidents lately that the one serious hindrance to college
education is that its students enter the world's business forum
too late in life; that business uletliotls must be mastered after
college life is ended and that this unlits the college graduate
to compete with the man whose business career has been an
evolution wliirh vxtctlds ironi oflice Loy to presidentof a great
colnlnercial institution.
If the extrli years are added to the high school course the
professional school age will be extended to twenty-six years
and possibly twenty-eight. Since it is claimed that man
amounts to little as a producer after the age of 48, this gives
hilu too few years in which to compete for a livelihood,
It seems to its that the public schools were created for the
beuelit of all children, regardless of social standing, in order
thaiteveu the poorest might profit by the education taught
there. To mite sucll edllcillloll practical, it is, therefore,
necessary that it shall meet the needs of the boy and girl
when they must enter the contest for a livelihood. To this
end, then, those subjects which will best fit them for such
competition should be taught, not alone in the high schools,
but in the grades as well. .
A large percentage or the pupils educated in the public
schools have not the Fillatlcial means to take them through
college, but, on leaving the high school, must enter at once
upon a business career. Is it not then necessary that the
subjects taught in the public schools be selected with the de-
nlandd oftlletuajority in view? And would it not be wise to
provide adequate trleansfor the education or the hand as well
as of the brain alone, thus making every public school a great
polytechnic institute?
