vmue.wnoie, we nave resources
tnat are unequalled for thjs particu

the" large majority of our people will
agree that What' we now need is to get
our bi-airifest" and shrewdest leaders to
take nold of this matter and by lead-

fihotilder to shoulder and work out
Something that - will be of material
beflefit in "stating this class . of develop

need of, as well as other industries,
that will make big pay rolls.
The evil effects of this are readilv
seen when we think ot a bov studvine
and reciting withthe kids as he com-'
moniy terms it, while on the Dlav
ground he is with the more advanced
pupils. This gets " him out of sorts
and discourages him; and the final)
outcome is not hard to imagine. At
the first opportunity he leaves school
with just the bare mechanics of read
ing and an incomplete knowledge. of
the four - f undamenta 1 operations of
arithmetic. t
I have endeavored to find the causes
for this as they are here and then
seek a remedy or whatever remedies
seem applicable. But before we seek
a remedy let us examine the .causes
