The struggle for success in life is
more flercely competitive than it ever
was and the preparation for this strug-
gle is becoming more and more exact
ing. The school curriculum shows this
TO be so. The tendency to overload 1t
seems to be increasing to such an ex-
tent as to evoke the earnest protest
of parents. a system which requires
the young pupil TO spend many hours
In school and more hours In home
study TO maintain standing In the
classroom and TO prepare for nerve
racking examinations naturally pro-
vokes the criticism of parents, who are
best able TO judge of its baleful effect
upon the minds and bodies of their
charges. The youth whose time has
been frittered away on too many
studies may be easily beaten In the
life struggle by the boy who has been
confined to a few essential studies, and
who has made them part Of his in

That the United States should be
leader in the great movement for IN
ternational arbitration is fitting. The
movement is the most vital one in
world politics, and its success up TO the
present Is due very largely to infiu-
ences from this country. The progress
OF arbitration during the last year has
been remarkable beyond the expeeta-
ton Of its most sangulne advocates. A
year ago, the international court at
The Hague was an untried tribunal.
In twelve months 1t has received three
great cases-the Plus fund case be-
tween this country and Mexico, settled
last fall In our favor; the japanese
house tax case between Japan on one
side and Great Britain, France and
Germany ON the other; and the Ven
ezuelan question of preferential treat
ment, the settlement of which will es-
tablish an international principle of
the utmost importance. Besides these,
five other international disputes have
been arbitrated during the year, and
half a dozen or more are still pending
before special tribunals. Numerous
friendship treaties that have been ne
gotiated and the fact that the Venezle-
Ian episode with all Its intrlcacies led
to no further international complica-
tions still further attest the spirit OF
peace that is growing among the na-
TONS thought TO be a matter of pride

Not only has It been party to four

ty has given this country high rank
among the peaeemakers. The appoint
ment of the Alaskan boundary tribunal
is still another evidence of our desire
to settle our disputes with our neigh
bors peaceably.

The action recently taken by the va
glous State Legislatures with refer
ence to constitutional amendment
for the direct election of Senators by
the people shows not only the wide
spread interest In the reform but the
strength of opinion in its favor where
the issue has been brought to the test
of vote. 1t appears that thirty-siN
State Legislatures have had the pro-
posal before them, and that OF these
twenty-one have Endorsed it, while
fourteen have failed to indorse it, In
only five States, Massachusetts,, Maine,
Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio, has
the proposal been voted on without
carrying. Maine, however, did not
finally reject 1t, but postponed 1t to
the next session. In most of the other
States that are listed against 1t 1t WAS
buried In committee, and will surely
be heard from In future Legislatures.
