A. Williams, in Outlook) A few w*4.*ks ago I was Bitimg on the broad piazza uX -a. rc.iurt hotel alter dark smoking my after-dinner cigar and watching- the crowd or vacation ists. A fine-looking. gray-haired, well ffT-.iMMi.'.l m;i-i i?! v. '111^ rta;:ni?is and blue serge sat down beside* me. He was motoring through thv? country, and. though 1 was little more than "ttivvering." yet we had a common ground for conversation. Soon the talk drifted to a discussion of salaries, and this brought up the question dr teachers" salaries and public schooT support. At once h* broxe rorth into a monologue uhi<h n is mnif lnterest^ ing to me. and. coming as It did from a business man, is worthy or record. "1 shall be flfty-tv.o years old to rnorrow. and until two years ago 1 11 bet I never gave the question of our public schools fifteen consecutive mi nutes of thought in my life. I always HOU TJt UJWR lllLIU fuf gPUIltLUl, jUMt <1H 1 took the sulphur aint" molasses my mother used to give me every spring, i went ta-the district school as a boy, and a IT three onmy "chTTilr^n lia v u Ueeu" through the public schools, but ?ava jp Hf ^onl 1 signed th-_ :eir report-cards, tookeu to s*? if tEelr" deportment was" aTT rltf IU,~I^rrddhrmi?? sed the whole thing when i laid their cards down on the ~tabie. I guess -I did attend the 'Uoin's' when tjie^ grad uated. but 1 am nut -sure _Lha,l.I_did ev-1 en that for ;mv buf the youngest one ? and that was probably because she was ' my pet and prize package. I thought I was too busy with my business to bother about school ; it was a by-pro- ( duct of my life. "You have probably guessed that I am a business man. I am" a~ffianufac turer of cotton cloth. I have mills in a half-dozen small cities and large towns. Up to two years ago I went on my way serenely hiring my help from anywhere I could get it, not pay ing much attention to the quality of it so iong as it could run a loom and turn out the goods. I made then a moderately good" quality of cotton clo th, not a Btandard, trade marked pro duct. but a material that passed for good fabric. ~ "One day a young feilow came ln to my onice 10 try and ?cll me some new machinery which he claimed wo Iilri make It possible for me to make up aa A-l finisEed product. He aiuil? ed that the margin of profit in manu facture lies not merely between raw | material and a finished product, but in the difference between a mediocre product and a first class nnished ar ticle. I could not see ;iis argument. He was so desd-flnre he had whal I needed that he oort of put me on my mettle. I wouldn't buy of him. and I showed him out of the office pretty roughly, I guess. Just the same his idea stuck with me, and, while I was gu obstinate that I wonldn'i put in his machinery, I did begin to cast about to see if I could do anything to turn . niif n better article. After many nxv nths of thinking, I saw what ho meant. So I set out to refine the product In one of my mills. "It was one of the mills where my help had been recruited largely from the country districts where schools had not kept for more than four mon ths in a vear, and darned poor schools at that while they were open. Right there I was up agaiwst it.- Of course the hands knew enough, mechanically, to run the looms according to directi ons, but when I tried to get them to make little adjustments of the ma chines on their own judgment and to be more careful about loose ends, etc. ?little things that would take some thing on their part? they just natural ly had no desire or intention to do them. I worked personally with that bunch for nearly six months and couldn't accomplish one single thing with them. "I started thinking about why they would not take some pride in turniii}; out a better product, and. after talk ing with some of them anil after think ing about their whole attitude. I came to see that they had no ideals. Th.it sounds funny for a business man. i know; but it's the truth. They had never been to a school long enough to get any ideals about fine work, about (carefulness, neatness, about trying every day to do a thing Just a little bit better than they did it the flay before, about all those elements that make for first-class work. Oh, you can la ugh at me. but. by Jove! It was true They hadn't one ideal above drawing! their once a week and resting on Suu- 1 day. "I took the htnt and let them alon^. but to prove my point I went Into all other one of my mills In a town wheiv they hB<Hi?i?n having Aioiig-tcrm sch ool and good teachers for several ye ars. and tried out my scheme there and say, man. It worked! They fell for my coaching like I was doing them the greatest favor on earth, and they began to turn out a better and still better product, until now. do you know | I have had to begin In two more mills to coach the hands; but. believe me. l| am not trying It again with hands wh<> i haven't had good schooling, not much! "I tell you. right now, I've had my lesson, and from now on I am Interest ed In good schools, long terms, hie salaries, compulsory law, and the wh ole thing This thing of good schools has got me It's good Mini n ess to in | vest in school taxes. I think about schools now and I work for 'em. They are the greatest (deals maker we've got In this country, and this old world | of ours Just grows fat on Ideals. I know. fo? I've been up against Ignor ance good and plenty, and there's no thing to It. "Well, good-night, my cigar's done and I'm ready for bed; hut now you remember, mister, and do some think ing about these schools of ours as the cat said about the rat-holes they'll bear looking Into Good-night " I wonder was he right or Is it all a mistake? Do our schools really build the Ideals he was talking about? Are they worth thinking about? ? i To Cure ?
