SineWs of War.

AS they have been doing for many
moons, the powers not engaged in
nghting Ncontinue to deprecate the
war: They contemplate it with hor-
ror. They think it strange that Rus
STA will not sue for peace, and that
Japan should keep on with the work
OF slaughter. All the same the finan-
cial eenters are willing to advance
the money necessary to sustain the
strife. America, England. and Ger
many, each of them ready to send
delegates to peace congress, there
to make fervfd speeches and subscribe
to engrossed resolutions with a dove
On an olive branch stamped in the
corner. are equally ready to dig into
their strong boxes and supply the
Japanese with money. Evidently the
security is not yet exhausted. Given
the collateral they would be as quick
TO do the same for Russia. but that
country seems reduced to the necea
sity of consuming its own monetary
vitals. Ii the people are told to yield
ss.ssT savings they can't help them
selves, and might as well give up as to
nave the cash taken away by force.
The terrible record now being made
Will count against both Russia and
Japan, but both of these countries
Will have some excuse in patriotism
and national pride The other peo-
pies, accessory to rapine and butch
cry for price, have no plea in miti-
cation Greed is their inspiration
and the thought of being ashamed has
not occurred to them.

Hungry Children.

After careful investigation an in
spector reports to the State board of
charities of New York most startling
conditions in relation to the food of
children attending the industrial
schools OF that city. Perhaps there
is some error in the conclusions of
the inspector; let such be the hope.
Ii he is not mistaken, the conditions
revealed are shameful, and reflec-
ton upon the economic system maxi
ing clear some vicious and all but
fatal defects.
The inspector declares that of 10000
children embraced in his inquiry, H39
frequently begin the days work with
cut breakfast; 99s have insufficient
food habitually; while 7,415 have a
morning meal consisting of bread,
with tea or coffee. Thus there are a
few more than thousand whom it
may be assumed, have enough of a
proper sort to eat. Naturally these
children are unhealthy, and plainly
anaemic, growing up without the
strength to enter upon the task OF
becoming productive citizens.
Exploitation of the fact that sc
great wrong exists ought to lead to
reform. 1t is useless to train the
hands Of children when there is moth
ing in their stomachs. Time is vast
ed in training the physically unfit to
tasks for which they are never to be
competeLt. Food for the body first
and then food for the brain.
Charity is doing much, with the
kindliest intent, end often wasting its
efforts. This country is not SUFFERING
for more Libraries It does not pine
for an extra polish on the higher
| education. Neither does it want a
soup kitchen era. 1t does want the
introduction Of some method that will
give humble industry chance. There
is national wickedness, not clearly
defined, but its expression is visible
in the countenances of wan faces OF
little children who do not know the
meaning of a square meal People
with moderate fixed incomes finG
these, SO far as buying capacity is
concerned, about two-thirds as large
as they were decade ago. The same
pinch is felt by the very poor. The
first may cut down their expenses an6
still live in tolerable comfort, but thu
very poor, forced also to cut theil
| expenses, go without breakfast.

system and would not now have 1t

The very atmosphere teens with the
necessities for educating our ehildren;
the state provides for 1t and insists that
they take it. Our public schools no
longer provide for instruction only in
the three Rs they finish the educa-
ton of thousands of our children and
encroach upon the province of the COL
lege and technical school, so that most
of our boys and girls reach manhood
and womanhood with the ideals gwen
by the public school.

ment in favor of the move recently adj

If it has seemed SO imperative TO have

that what tends to make the greatest

tend to the best interests OF the state
Does not the question, then, come 10

Children's Time Wasted

Justice to the children: inasmuch as the
time for mental instruction is exploited
TO the benefit of a mere sentimentality
Whether / have q particular line of

whether the Koran or the Ribla is read

either of these books read when they
are no part. of the mental instruction

schools were originally intended.

Religious Education
Unfair to Taxpayer

To the Editor of The Washington Times:
am deeply interested in the CORE
spondence appearing in the valuable
columns of The Times concerning the
teaching of religion in the public
schools
In Canada Professionalism is up In arms
because of bill which permits in GER
tain sections, the Catholic parochial
schools TO receive support from money
raised by compulsory taxation But
who cannot see that it is no more I'M
Just to take Protestant money to sup
port Catholic schools than TO take the
money raised by taxation from those
who do not believe IN religion TO have
it taught in the schools
We need TO exercise care lest the
snlouldering esabers of a religious tyrar.
nv be famed into fame. Etefnez
vigilance is the price of liberty
This movement to teach religion In
the public schools should be sunlnarily

Those Most Interested.

For week now the columns of The
Times have been open TO discussion of
the proposed increase in the moral in
struction of the public schools Scores
of letters have been published, and
many, many more have been received,
and they have all indicated deep
seated conviction.
In the newspaper sense they have
exhausted the question That is to
say, they have presented it in every
reasonable light. If any more letters
are printed, they must be largely
echoes or restatements of what has
already been said, and the space
which these letters have filled-as ev-
cry reader must knows extremely
valuable
So The Times has decided to print
no more letters on this subject unless
they disclose the question in some
new aspect or develop some phase of
1t hitherto unemphasized.
This conclusion is based largely on
the point indicated. But it has fur
Their reinforcement in the fact that
practical and feasible means has
been suggested to the Board of Edu-
cation for obtaining the views of the
persons most interested in the con-
troversy. If the Board of Education
adopts that means. the responses will
provide all the information which the
Board has need to use.
The Times thinks 1t most essential
the views Of the parents should be
obtained They are, after all, tho
only persons who can speak as of
right. So far, the controversy has
been conducted chiefly by orthodox
churchmen on the one hand and op-
ponents Of the orthodox church Cd
the other. Be they ever so earnest
these persons cannot possibly regard
their interest in this matter as either
so direct or SO authoritative as that
OF the citizens whose children are be-
ing given their education in these
schools.
