Is our educational system wrong?
This question has been raised by
statements of the great inventor,
Thomas A. Edison. Mr. Edison has
earned the right to be heard. He has
back of him 2,000 inventions of in-
valuable character. There are today
invested $14,000,000,000 in conned
-
tion with his inventions, and one -
twentieth of the total wealth of the
United States is the product of his
intellect and inventive genius.
Lately lie has stirred excitement
in educational 'spheres by two state-
nients. These statements threaten a
revolutionizing of the whole educa-
tional system as at present in pro-

it be that the Government really
wanted to have answers to all these
questions about berries, currants,
fruit, vegetables and what init?
Then we have only just passed the
war and dark clouds are still hang -

was seeking to locate where material
for bulletin or bayonets alight by a
system of compulsion be had? Or
where to levy heavy taxes to pay
off war debts. TO some -thee strange
