sugar-producing interests in Germany.
1t guarantees producers of raw sugar a
certain minimum price and takes their
entire product. Any difference between
this minimum and a lower price which
may rule in the worlds markets is made
up by the refiners. On the other hand,
the raw-sugar producers guarantee to
pay a fixed minimum price for
beets, to produce no raw sugar
for consumption in Germany and to
sell their raw sugars only to re
fners belonging to the syndicate.
Under the operation of this scheme the
factories, on the one hand, are able to
pay for beets more han the general
sugar market price outside Of Germany
would justify, and, on the other, re-
ineries are able to control absolutely
the price OF sugar for consumption Ia
Germany, which they do most effect
| lively.
Undoubtedly the cartel system does
operate as a bounty on exported sugar
but it is a system with which the gov
eminent has nothing whatever to do and
therefore cannot properly be considered
by u government In connection with
the countervailing duty in our tariff.
This. 1t appears, is the view taken by
the administration and there can be no
question that 1t is correct. This gov
eminent a take no notice Of the opera
tons Of a syndicate of German sugar
producers and refiners which exists en-
trely Independent OF and derives no au-
thorlty from the German government.
When Germany stops paying a bounty
on exported sugar the United States will
no longer impose the countervaiIing duty
on German sugar.

Every city in the United States is
graphing with the public school prob
lem. The trend Of twentieth century
educational methods is to bring the pub
lie schools in closer touch with the cur
rent Of this electric age. In other words,
the aim Of all modern education is to
lay the foundation for the acquisition
Of the knowledge most essential and
useful in the practical walks OF life.
The tendency everywhere is to substi-
tute for mere theoretical studies the
branches that are vital to modern civili-
zation.
In education as in all other pursuits
there can be no %standstill. Our school
system must either be planned on pro-
gresslve lines or it will ~retrograde and
become m~oss-grOwn. 1t is a deplorable
fact that the public schools OF Omaha
have not kept pace with those OF other
cities Of equal population. While Omaha
has Outstripped all other towns of its
size In the country In the number OF
kindergarten schools and in the variety
Of high school fads, 1t has done SO at the
expense OF the branches on which the
chief effort should be concentrated.
The trouble arises from the fact that
the man who has been at the head OF
our public schools for the last six years
l~amentably lacks the qualification Of a
superintendent Of the first class. With,
out q collegiate education and with
scarcely any experience except what he
has acquired since HIS advent here, his
real talent is that Of a politician rather
than Of al educator. Instead OF devot
ing himself exclusively 10 the great
task for which he is employed, he Il
constantly dlverting his mind and time
TO enterprises mt schemes calculated
to give him a pull 1t is a matter Of
notOriety also that he is s~ubservient t
the school book trust hat has subsidized
him and looks TO him for reciprocity
where Its interests are concerned.
How is II possible 10 elevate the stand
ard OF Omaha's public schools 50 lOnl
as they are loaded down with a super
intendent who knows less about educa
ton than most OF the principals an,
teachers under himl
How al the standard OF u publi
schools be elevated 50 long as intriguI
rather than merit holds the superin
tsndent In his placer
Can the standard OF u public school
Be elevated unless a man h placed a
