Warrenton Parent-Teachers Association
Appreciates Fine Address By Mrs. Wilhoit
Following is the text of an address delivered by Mrs. W. F.
Wilhoit at the March 1st meeting of the Warrenton Parent-Teach
ers Association. Recognizing its great merit many who heard it
have asked that it be published. Mrs. Wilhoit’s subject was “The
Economical Value of Vocational Education:”
“Breathes there a man with soul
so dead
Who never to himself hath said
This is my own—my native
land?”
“America! The home of the
free and the home of the brave.”
America, our America! How
we love her. How our hearts
swell with pride as we contem
plate her.
She has the most wonderful
government in the world.
But America is not perfect
and her government is not infal
lible.
The present depression and
the fact that hunger and want
are stalking through our land is
proof that a terrible blunder has
been made by someone, some
where;
She has the most extensive
and elaborate educational, sys
tem in the world, but perhaps
one of the greatest mistakes
America has made is in the
ideals she has been holding be
fore her youth in the last twenty
five years. They have been edu
cated away from the soil. The
country has lost its attraction
for (them.
Instead of country homes of
culture and refinement, “where
health and plenty cheer the la
boring swain,” her people have
huddled themselves in the cities
and are living out of tin cans
und paper bags.
Her farms are turned over to
renters and croppers who, in
many cases, are irresponsible Ne
groes.
Her educational system has
trained for a white collar citizen
ry who expect to live a life of
leisure.
Training for engineering, l«w,
medicine and scholarship has
been well done. But only about
10 per cent of the students of
her high schools and colleges
will he gentlemen of leisure or
professional men.
What is to become of the *e
maining 90 per cent. Is their
training unfitting them to five
the fives they will have to five?
Will the accumulation of useless
abstract information, and the ef
fort just to “get by” make them
scorn the simpler tasks and
make them disdainful of work
ing with their hands?
Will the social veneer they
have received make them snob
bish toward those with whom
they have been brought up, and
make them feel that the city is
their destined abiding place?
M is time America was look
ing into this, for the training of
hundreds of thousands of her
youths for lives of leisure may
prove to he the leisure of un
employment.
Most educators are honest.
They are doing the best they
know, but the majority of them
have gone immediate from the
college into the class room with
little, if any, experience of the
practical side of fife.
Their ideals have been high
marks, academic learning, col
lege degrees and the culture that
comes front a meager knowledge
ot ancient and foreign languages
and higher mathematics.
At present more than 80 per
cent of the student’s time is ta
ken up with those subjects and
only about 20 per cent on health,
drawing, home economics, com
mercial education, mechanical,
arts, agriculture economics and
government. Their education is
four-fifths theoretical and one
fifth practical.
» Sign of Evil
The “mark of the beast* as It ap
pears In the twentieth verse of the
nineteenth chapter of the Revelation*
of St. John the Divine, refers to fol
lowing the path of evil as distin
guished from following the path of
good. Those who take the latter
course are said to have the sea! of the
Iamb, lo contradistinction to the mark
of the beast
The American colleges are, an
nually, turning out vast num
bers of standardized Bachelorls
of Arts, hut not all of these can
be leaders, or even professional
men.
Tragedy of tragedies when
all of America's men are in the
white collar class! Arc those
who, perforce, must do the la
bor, damaged by false stand
ards, bad habits, and inferior
complexes?
Because their minds do not
happen to lit the acedemic mold
shall they be branded as stupid
or incorrigible? The elementa
ry grades are teaching reading,
writing and arithmetic, which
all children need; why not fol
low that up in the high schools
and colleges with what they will
need when their school fife is
over?
- There is a great need for far
mers, dairymen, stock raisers,
mechanics, printers, cement
workers, stone cutters, riveters,
drillers, road builders, and a
thousand others who are just as
necessary in the citizenry as are
the professional men.
And while some of the girls
who leave high school and col
lebe will enter the professions or
work iu offices the great major
ity of them will marry, become
mothers and home-makers and
should be taught the fundamen
tal principles of cooking, and be
familiarized with the most
healthful and economical method
of preparing such articles of
food as are usually found on a
well appointed family table.
They shoiul he given instruc
tions in hygiene as related to
foods, in nutritive properties,
and values of materials used,
and the chemical changes by
cooking. They should be taught
that some foods contain units
of energy and others calories of
heat and should know llhat a
person living a sedentary life
does not need the same diet that
a working man requires.
The arts of dressmaking, as a
means of livelihood, or to he
used in her own family, should
be taught. This is an accom
plishment without which no wo
mans education is complete.
Book-keeping, budgeting, poul
try raising, gardening, domestic
economy, industrial and decora
tive arl, in its practical applica
tion, and such other practical
industries as may tend to pre
pare the young women of Amer
for occupations which are
consistent with feminine refine
ment and modesty, and to broad
en their general knowledge and
give them high ideals of woman
hood, wifehood, motherhood and
American citizenship. No hu
man institution is infallible.
But when American boys and
girls are taught to place the eval
uation on the proper things—
first things first; when the op
portunity to five in God’s open
country is appreciated: when
simple pleasures are once more
enjoyed; when religion, love and
purity, and the other benevolent
characteristics are practiced in
the home and in public affairs
then wifi there he produced a
good citizenry who will exercise
its citizenship in building up
American ideals, and America
will reach her highest peak
where real values are unshaken
and solid; her people wifi know
the real meaning of life and
America herself wifi recognize
the value of vocational educa
tion.
