DDS to people unable to spend more
than a few weeks in attendance upon
such an Institution, seem to have pros
pered and multiplied until they have
now gained a foothold in nearly every
state in the union. As a consequence
these schools are strongly intrcnched
in the west and in nothing can the
west point to more striking evidence of
its ability and ]eagcrness to adopt and
apply the results of successful cduca-
tional innovations. The number of
teachers in public and private schools
who will put in n large portion Of their
vacations at the different university
summer schools promises, therefore, to
be larger this year than ever before.
We naturally expect the increase in
the educational qualifications required of
school teachers and the improvement
of the opportunities and facilities for
them to acquire the necessary informa-
ton to go hand in hand. If the uni
versity summer schools can contribute
toward raising the standard of the
teaching force in the schools in town
or country, or both, they will have ac-
complishcd a great work and commune
Gated NJ invigorating impulse to the
whole educational system. Remarka-
BILE as has been the change in educa-
tional methods in this country during
the last decade or two, the evolution is
by no means completed. School teach
ers, it is true. often complain that
they are expected TO devote almost all
their leisure time to preparation for
the work in which they are engaged.
But the difference between ,hem and
people in other occupations is only one
of degree. The school teachers who
have an ambition to rank with the
best among their associates must keep
up with the advance in educational
methods. and will recognize in the uni
verSity summer schools a most valua-
BILE if not Indispensable aid.

II Is the aim or IT'S promoters to bring
about. That n commission OF the kind
proposed would, 10 able to elicit n great
deal of useful Information there can be
no doubt, but it is practicable for con-
gross to obtain all the knowledge 1T
can require for the purposes of wise
and just legislation without recourse to
a special commission that would involve
a large cXpendithrc of money, while
so far as the recommendations of such
a commission are concerned, there is
no reason to suppose that they would
have any more weight or influence, with
either congress or the country, than the
recommendations of u congressional
committee.
1t may be doubted whether the pres
ent is an suspicious time to urge the
proposed commission. Unless all signs
fail, the government will pass irto the
control Of the republican party within
n year and there is every reason to
expect that under the operation of the
policy of that party, as soon MS it can
be put into effect. many of the causes
or complaint Ill Regard 10 muuSlIldl
and business conditions will be re-
moved. No commission is necessary to
discover why there is depression in
business. s%tagnation in industries, in
adequate employment for labor, and
widespread dissatisfaction. The eXpla-
nation of this state of affairs is per-
fcctly apparent to everybody Of ordi-
nary Intelligence and it could not be
made clearer by the investigation of
any commission. however able 1t might
be. AS the responsibility for the un-
fortunate conditions rests upon the
people, in their mistake of placing the
democratic party in control of the gov
eminent, so the remedy is in their
hands by turning that party out and
restoring the administration of the gov
eminent to the party under whose pol
icy the nation achieved unparalleled
progress and the American people en-
ioycd the highest standard of pros
perity they have ever known.

ANOTHER USELESS COMMISSION.

author, is Il comprehensive measure
it may be thought by some rather too
much so. 1t is proposed mat the presi-
dent shall appoint five men representing
labor, five representing agriculture and
five representing manufacturing and
business, each of these divisions TO ap-
point two additional commissioners to
act with them. making the whole nun
Der twenty-onc. II is intended that the
commission shall be nOn-partiSan and
shall give an impartial hearing 10 those
who complain of discriminating laws
and unequal burdens. In the language
of the chairman of the house labor
committee: ''The commission will bring
into conference representative men OF
labor. agriculture, manufacturing and
business. thus bringing the aggrieyed
and those against whom the grievance
is made together, whose duty it viii
he TO consider the disturbing causes
and recommend laws looking toward IL
more just distribution of the burdens
and benefits of our free government.
1t Is designed to be impartial, non
partisan. seeking exact facts and condi-
tons and to conform legislation to the
foundation principles of our govern
mept, to place all men OF an equal
footing before the law"
There can be nc question that n com
