He wasn't much -i U school teacher, rut his idea ;i- sound. The best way to learri is to learn from doing. All knowdeldge is connected with life. Tin- way To learn a language to connect every word with something you actualK do or sc. In other word?, language i? to he connected with life and not with literature.

Thus while at Princeton the average ybrl.v outlay fo'r a soil is estimated at $1,500. while at Antioch the average freshman needs only $11111 besides his earnings. The vocational aims of students include agiieuiluie. architecture, aw. business. engineering. medicine, economics, law. etc. The average weekly waste while pursuing: there courses is $2:1 in the freshman year and $25 in the senior year. They complete the Antioch course in five years. Thus the student has already learned the most important thing of all in an education, that is, how to take care of himself. When a man works his way thru college he appreciate.-, what education be jjqts, just as a horse is healthy because he has to walk after ev > mouthful he cits f!urines.- n'.er. in every community ought to co-operate with the schools in assisting hoys and girls to get a practical education. ggy ' p?
