HONOR WHERE DUE

The people of the United States have,
up o nights to slap themselves on the
back for the wonderful achievements of
Uucle Sans navy and army. Mr.. Nc
Kinley the president of these states,
and heartfelt praises, the Lord of Bat
ties, but proclaimed 1t his wish and re-
quested that seventy odd million souls
should do likewise, for what seemed to
be miraculous and supernaturaly guided
victories.
There is plenty of precedent for the
presidents action. 1t is we'll to give vent
to souls overlooking with gratitude and
joy. 1t is not, therefore. to detract a
1.-THE of the honor due the Unknown
Power, from which, it is said all things
proceed that attention is now called to
lower plane power, though one more
easily verified than the Lord of Battles.
on which sufficient praise and honor has
not yet been bestowed.
1t is Science,
And what is this Science? Nothing
more nor less than knowledge that is YER
ifiable, systematized and classified for
the benefit and utility of mankind.
The century now closing has been the
most progressive that man has record of.
And why? Simply because it is the
age of Science. Science is the master
of things. 1t was Science that invented
the Virginius and the Monitor, out of
which has evolved the present battleship,
cruiser and torpedo boat. To Science
is due credit for the armor plate, thr-
teen-inch guns, rapid-fire guns. range
finders, smokeless powder and the null
tiplicity of machinery that now makes
up what we dub a battleship.
But the gunners did it,
All praise to the noble fellows But
for scientific knowledge. however, the
gunners would have been as worthless
as the enemy's.
Science makes man self-reliant. 1t
leaves no loopholes for its votaries to
any power other than the accurate know
ledge of the immutable laws that are
learned by practice and observation.
The officers and men of our navy and
army deserve no less praise, but far more
for being scientific. But far back oil
them are the remote causes which make
their victories the shortest and most
glorious in the annals of war. Those
remote causes cannot be easily traced
Nevertheless, the little word Science
covers them all. The individuals VIII,
have, during this century, discovered
the many scientific laws now so wei
utilized in this war are too numerous t.
mention here-if it We're possible.
What is the lesson taught? Is it rash
to say that if we substitute Science for
Latin and Greek; Science for rote know
LEDGE Science for state book knowledge
teach our children to know things in
stead of words--in other words, to teach
Science in place and stead of so-called
scholarship-is it rash to say that oul
children would grow up self-reliant mer
and women, instead of what too many are
now, when turned out of our schools
almost inspired idiots?
Science asks for no praise, no laurels
no worship. The good it does is reward
enough. However, if we must 'rah for
something that deserves honor for win
ming our battles, let us 'rah for Science
and our scientifically trained men.

FREE PUBLIC BATHS

Los Angeles has no water to burn or
to throw at the birds, but there is an un-
doubted surplus, above all the essential
requirements. for bathing purposes for
the entire population. Public bath
houses, some of them magnificently APP
pointed, are in pleasing evidence, while
many private residences are provided
with baths of varying utility and at
Effectiveness. But in all the broad city
there is not single free public bath
house, unless we except the crude in
strumentalties employed by those noble
women of the College Settlement for
periodically cleansing the bodies of the
youth Of both sexes whose bathing facil-
tiles at home are confined to foot-tubs
and who, before this mission was estab-
lished, We're wont to take at least an oc-
casonal plunge in the imprisoned waters
Of the city's reservoirs. Bathing in
these places is a misdemeanor, accord
ing to the municipal code. and not once
but many times, have youths of tender
age been arraigned in the police court
on the charge. 1t is a practice that
should not be encouraged. 1t is danger
Gus to the lives of the plungers, and

it would cost something to guard them

youthful offenders, if prudently expend-
ed, would provide ample bathing facili-
ties for the children of the poor and
doubtless net a good return in improved
morals. The connection of filth and
bodily uncleanliness with crime need not
be dwelt upon. 1t is not debatable
problem-in fact it is not a problem at
all, but self-evident proposition.
The free baths furnished by the Col
lege Settlement ladies cost IL cents each

Water. soap and towels, the attendance
being gratuitous. 1t might cost little
if any more to furnish the baths for all

enterprise were uilutlldheil Oll IL large

justifies the hope that the municipal
authorities, or the Associated Charities
will recognize the Importance, from the

point, of exploiting free public bath
houses in Los Angeles.
