In these hurrying days of Janis, days which know nothing_ oi an lprentlccship. nothing of the weary grind oi learning a trade, nothing of the digging ‘and delving for a real education. we have acquired the unfortunate habit oi taking short cuts to our respective goals. We have forgotten the adage or a past generation that "there ‘are neither short cuts nor royal roads to learning." As a consequence we have few young tradesmen, few men whose education ls sufliclent- ly practical to adapt itself to the actual necessities oi their calling. The goal placed before the child is money; he is taught. in practice at least. that the man who does not make money is a failure and that success in life is measured by the amount of money accumulated. Our standard oi success has fallen low. Some of the world's greatest successes, according to this standi- ard. are its greatest failures and the failures are the rcvlllts of lll- efficiency.
