Should Learn Work.

In a recent address on Common
School Problems" President Draper
of the University Of Illinois. said:
There Is undoubtedly very wide
spread feeling throughout the land that
the work of the elementary schools has
grown unreasonably complex and con-
fusing: that it is being subOrdinated to
some interests or theories which are
not Of general concern. 1t is not certain
that the tendencies of recent years are
wholly wrong. The fact probably is
that the trend of events IL good enough,
but is being carried to an unreasonable
extreme. Old DR.. Lernard Bacon used
to say at Yale that some people must
squeeze a good thing till 1t has to
sIueal." We will do well II we do not
forget that most children are going to
earn their living and gain their happi-
ness with their hands IL they do it at
all, and that we will be giving strength
TO the country by so much as we digni-
fy labor and enhance the common inter-
est in the agricultural and mechanical
industries.

One Cause for Thanks.

If anybody is looking for something
to be thankful for let him ponder the
fact that there are about 17,OOO.0OO
children attending school in the United
States. This is n showing that no 9TH
cr country in the world can produce.
Onc-fifth of our whole population is
enrolled in free schools. AS compared
with our school figures, the most in
telligcnt nations of Europe are far in
the rear. But even the public schools
give but faint idea of the extent of
educational work among us. All manner
of trade and technical schools are
growing up. libraries are being found

trict. until the cheapest thing in Ameri-

NOW HAS $500. 1O2.275 IN THE
VAULTS.
This Enormous Sum of Gold Only Ex-
ceeded by the Bank of Russia Which
Has $4O8, 100000.

NEW YORK, January lS.-The Unit
ed States Treasury gold holdings, as
announced today by advices received
in Wall Street from Washington,
amount to the enormous total of S400,
| 1925 The Government banks of but
| two other countries in the world APP
proach these figures. The Bank of
France has $316,000,000, while the Bank
of Russia is credited with having a
/ gold fund of $403, 100000. Such of the
! United States Treasury holdings as are
not general asset of the Treasury are
! held against the outstanding gold GER
! tificates but as these certificates are
daily reaching the Treasury in payment
| of customs and other public dues the
! free gold in the Treasury could be in
| creased materially If it were desired.
"A statistical review of the supply and
movement of gold since the end of 1896
prepared by NJ. L. Muhleman, deputy
assistant treasurer of the United States
at the Sub-Treasury in this city, shows
| that the worlds production of gold in
three years, 1897, 1898 and 1899, is esti-
mated to be between 1926, OOO, 900 and
$3.50, 100000 The banks of Europe had
on the list of the present month very
| little more gold than at the beginning
. of 1897, whereas the United States
gained 1929, 100000. We kept our own
product and gained by imports about
s135,00O,00O The United States was
thus best able to lose gold to England
when the demand arose. In the redis-
tribution during the three years Russia
shows a loss of 1851, 100000, practically
all of which went into circulation In
the redemption of the banks notes un-
der the law for the resumption of specie
payments. Spain and Austria gained
materially, while England, Germany
and France lost. The South African
war not only stopped the usual flow of
gold to London, but compelled England
to send large amounts to the Cape.
