• WHAT KIND OF EDUCATION ? “A few years ago,” says “Reynold’s Illustrated News,” “business men were urging that boys and girls should be educated for commerce. They poured scorn on ‘all this cultural stuff,’ which merely filled the minds of boys and girls with a lot of nonsense, and unfitted them for business. Well, they got what they wanted. Our educationists grabbed boys and girls early, taught them typewriting and shorthand, book-keeping, the principles of business, and all sorts of “commercial” subjects. Still, business men are not' satisfied. They find the young people equipped no better in the things that matter; and even less good in many respects. A good cultural education will lay the foundation for anything else. The lack of it will prevent all but a few from making most of what is in them.”
