iic:. i.e.I . . ? e, r Now , however, ir. a.idi
tion to (students pursuing; vocational
studies, we have two other classes of
students. Those are. first, a largo
number who are devoting themselves
to the older learning, although its ad
vocates claim for it under present con
ditions a disciplinary and cultural,
rather than a vocational, value. Such
students are not, therefore, profes
sional students, and are not pursuing
vocational studies, and it is said that
theii aims are not practical in char
acter. There is, further, a numerous
class of students who are devoting a
large part of their time to research
und investigation. Some of them are
Mi the philosophical, rather than in a
technical, professional faculty; others,
ire. however, m such a technical
faculty; for it must not be forgotten;
that in many such a faculty much
work in tJie nature of research and
investigation is carried on with great
success; nor should it be forgotten,]
on tlie other hand, that many stu- i
dents in so-called philosophical and
nonvocational faculties have, after all.;
vocational and practical aims and pur- j
poses. They are studying in order to1
prepare themselves as teachers of tha j
subjects wliii-h they have chosen
The answer to the first question:
which has been asked must. then, tie ]
that education is at the present time
rather lest, than more practical than
it' was formerly, if we are to judge'
it by the purposes of those who are
being educated. A larger percentage
of students than formerly are at the
present time seeking an education j
which is not intended to tit them for ?
a well-defined career or profession.
CIIAIIAt TI3lt OK ISDUCATIO.N
.\OW .MUlt 13 1UIACTICAL,
On the other hand, it cannot be i
doubted that the character of the edu- |
cation, opportunities for which are!
now open to the student, is more prac
tical than it once was.
In tii? first place, the subjects in.
which instruction is given are in many J
cases much ?-loselv related to the
facts of every-day life than wore those'
10 which the scholasticism of the Mid- j
die Ages devote.I so much attention,!
or than those . mbraced in the almost!
exclusively philosophical and literary i
education "hi h was due to thci, inllu-j
ences of the l-Ienaissance.
Iii the second place, there is a c.on-|
tinuous tenilenc\ evident in almost all!
parts of the European world, and par- I
tictilarly in those parts of it In which
the attainment of economy and eftici-'
ency is receiving the most attention, to
ward granting some of the dignity of
learned professions to what were for
merly regarded as mere occupations or
trades.
Is tliis a tendency to be deprecated?
It would seem that there can be no
doubt as to the answer. Any one who
has had the. opportunity to observe
the conditions of a country like1
China, where the educational system ?
has had little, if any. relation to the j
conduct of the ordinary affairs of life; |
where what is regarded as learning :
is the monopoly of a literary aristoc- I
rac> which controls almost all the '
means of literary expression and in- j
sist? upon the use by all who would i
write of an extremely artificial and
conventional style; where there is no
learned profession but that of litera
ture. where, as consequence, there
is no career !> it a literary career open
to an ambitious man, and where no

Many, of course, will ask what will
.you do when >ou have buiir ail your
| railways and canals and bridges?when
| you have wrested ail her secrets from
j nature, and you:- industry and agii
? vulture have reached their maximum
I of efficiency? To what source will you
then turn for consolation when votir
restless spirit of research has noth
ing further to investigate and the con
<iuest of nature has become complete?
We might respond after the manner <>f
'tlie courts when similar questions are
I propounded to them?that we will an
swer that question when conditions
make it necessary. For no one will
venture to say at the present time
that there is not much work to be
done in the nature both of investiga
tion and of the application of well
recognized scientific principles.
But it is better to recognize what
is undoubtedly the case?that there
are other things in education than the
teaching of ways in which *o conquer
material nature. We of European ori
gin have a long history and an ex
tensive literature, without some know
ledge of which our present life is both
inexplicable and shorn of much uf its
attraction. There are things of the
spirit which bulk as large in our lives
as the knowledge and conquest of ma
terial things. In our pursuit of know
ledge and ii| oqr desire to improve our
material conditions we should not per
mit ourselves to neglect our past nor
overlook the artistic side of our na
ture. We must in our educational in
stitutions, as has been well said, learn '
how to live as well as how to make ;
a living.
At the same time the solution of i
the problem how to live is not in- ,
consistent with tho endeavors, on the
one hand, to enlarge the lield of human '
knowledge, and thus to encroach upon
1 ht boundaries of the unknown, and on '
the other hand by thf application of
the scientific method to even what may
be regarded by many as the trivial
tilings of life, to envelop what may be
looked upon as mere occupations with
the dignity which results from ac
curate knowledge and the sense of
doing tilings well.
May it not then truthfully be said
that educational Ideals, while perhaps
more practical now than formerly, are

KI'NOTIONS OK MOD1CHN
EDUCATION MANIFOLD
The function.* of modern education
indeed are manifold:
In the llrst place, it endeavors to
transmit to the present generation a
, knowledge of our past. It makes us
, of the present day acquainted with
what those of bygone days rlid and
thought, hoped for and believed. It
teaches us how w?? should live as the
heirs of a European past.
In the second place, educational in
stitutions endeavor to broaden the lield
| of knowledge along all conceivable
. lines. They encourage research' and
investigation with no ulterior practical
purpose. Without such research the
conquest of nature will bo impossible.
Unless we can discover new principles
; we may reach a time when further
progress will cease.
' In the third place, the attempt is
made to apply the scientific principles
' of which we already have knowledge
to the conduct of the ordinary affairs
of lit.'. Our educational system may.
? if course, provide for the study of
applied science in institutions not con
nected with the universities which,
after the European example, may he
confined to instruction in the lore of
the past and to research and investi
gation. There are, however, great
advantages to be derived from the as
soc: ition of technical schools with uni
versities. particularly where research
and investigation, with the idea of en
larging the sum of human knowledge
are. recognized as a part of the uni
j versity's work. A technical school
which is completely free from uni
versity influences is apt to devote it
| self exclusively to the imparting of
?already existing information, and is
I prone to make little, if any, provision
fur that research to which advance in
! knowledge is due.
Furthermore, at the present time it
i is commonly the case in this country
tliii technical students take all their |
cultural studies before they take up I
their professional work. On the as- |
sumption that all the cultural studies i
necessary have been taken, the student
