vicinity.Itscontents are not merely theoretical conclusions.Neitherare they the unfounded assertions of an \"eccentric rad-ical.”They constitute a panoramic presentation of thehanpering and ruinous conditions which the writer,lher-self,for ten years was forced to tolerate.  \nThe child of daring and initiative finds himself pe-culiarly alone under the present school system.He islike a man on a lurid stretch of desert land.His suffer-ing is interminable.His way is beset with difficultieswhich cannot be surmounted.As the parched throat ofone stranded in the hot sands burns with a maddeninghirst,so does the heart of the child,beneath the relent-lessly constming fires of modern school discipline,yearnwith awful mania for the expression of lberty and in-lividuality.He is like a trapped animal beating hope-lessly against the bars of his prison.Spasmodically hestruggles for freedom.Bitterly does he resent hisstunted and stringent environment.  \nSuch a chld is either forced into the beaten track—into abject,cringing submission to the whims and de-sires of incompetent directors—or compelled to leaveschool.  \nThe writer has experienced the horrible heart-throesof the animal deprived of liberty,has suffered the in-describable agonies of restraint and coercion,has knownthe burning frenzy of the captive tortured by the enemy,but who,with arms bound and mouth gagged,is power-less to resist.She has been but one of the many helplessvictims who are thrown constantly into the devouringjaws of the present educational regime.Black,horriblejaws they are,with hideous,grinning teeth—jaws whichtear the heart from the bosom,which kill the soul andsuck the life's blood.1  \n## INTENTIONAL SECOND EXPOSURE\n\n\n| HAS RELIGION  \u003Cbr>Been a Promoter or
